another melon this week!

Another weekend down, another week closer to Owen’s arrival!

Here is this week’s baby update….

Your baby is gaining about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of the downy hair that covered his body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. Next week, your baby will be considered full-term.

Doctor confirmed last week that if he were born this week he’d be just fine and healthy!  Room is finished, monitors are hooked up and charged, diapers are out, hospital bags are packed and car seat is in the car!  We are officially r-e-a-d-y!

Have a great week,

Ben and Em
