Baby's the size of a coconut!
Baby's skin is getting smooth and soft, her gums are rigid, her liver and kidneys are in working order, and her circulation and immune system are basically good to go. Her lungs are the only organs that still need to fully mature, but every day she gets a little closer to breathing on her own. She's still in the 17.2- to 18.7-inch and 4.2- to 5.8-pound range and continues to beef up.
I had an ultrasound at my 36 week appointment because the doctor couldn't tell if Ashlynn was head down or breech. Thank goodness she was head down. During the ultrasound, the technician was amazed by the length of her big toe! We got a great view of it. She also estimated she weighed 6 1/2 pounds already, so at a weight gain of half a pound per week, they were estimating she would weigh 8 1/2 pounds at birth! Much bigger than I was anticipating!
