37 Weeks and Doc Update

"Now baby weighs almost 6.5 pounds and her total length is about 21 inches long. But she hasn't stopped growing yet; she'll continue to develop about a half ounce of fat a day. Still, overall growth does slow from here on out. That's fortunate since there is very little available space left in the womb.
Here are a few final developments taking place in week 37:
Immune system. It continues to strengthen and will continue to get stronger after birth yet will not be completely functional until early adulthood.
Dexterity. Your baby can now grasp with her fingers as dexterity improves."

I went to the doctor this morning and every thing still looks good. My Strep B test came back negative so that is great news. I am 75% effaced and dilated to a 1. She was very surprised I had thinned out so much from last time. Emery still hasn't dropped yet, but that can happen at anytime including right before she comes, so there is nothing to worry about. My next appointment is Dec 21st at 10:00, hopefully we will have a lot more progress by than:) Please pray that we do!!
