37 weeks

And in some ways the waiting is over- in the sense that the little man is now considered full term and can make his appearance whenever he is ready! Which means I had better get moving and finish up some of the things on my to do list, like his bassinet in our room, a carseat in the car and an assembled swing. Otherwise we are pretty much ready. My mom came up this week and helped me hang the last of the pieces on his walls in the nursery, his clothes are washed and put away, diapers are purchased and everything else we will figure out when he gets here :)
According to Babycenter "Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away. Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long."
