How far along? 38 weeks
This week's highlights: Fetal development is nearly complete as baby tends to a few last-minute details like shedding the skin-protecting vernix and lanugo. He's also producing more surfactant, a substance that prevents the air sacs in his lungs from sticking to one another once he starts to breathe. Most of the changes this week are small but important: He’s continuing to add fat and fine-tuning his brain and nervous system (so he can deal with all the stimulation that awaits him once he makes his entrance into the world).
Stretch marks? Nope! :)
Best moment this week: Knowing that we're going to be meeting our sweet Peyton in 2 weeks or less (hopefully!)
Miss Anything? While this 9+ month journey has been incredible, I'm ready to be back to my normal self again.
Food cravings: Nothing too crazy. We're pulling out all the stops with eggplant parmesean and spicy hot wings...so far nothing though. :)
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time. Only one small emotional breakdown this week...these final few weeks are quite a mind game. Ready to have our little guy out and settle into our new, exciting life together as a family of 3.
Looking forward to: Meeting Peyton!!! Can't seem to come soon enough! :)
