Bump Progression, Round 2

I posted a "bump progression" post back in April when I was 25 weeks.  Here's round two to commemorate reaching "full term."    I remember thinking earlier in my pregnancy how huge I was feeling.  Well,  I didn't know what huge meant!  Now,  I feel positively enormous!!  I now am carrying approximately...

Baby: 7 to 9 pounds
Placenta: 2 to 3 pounds
Amniotic fluid: 2 to 3 pounds
Uterine enlargement: 2 to 5 pounds
Increased blood volume: 4 to 5 pounds
Breast enlargement: 1 pound
Fluid in maternal tissue: 3 to 4 pounds

 I am trying to enjoy the last few weeks (or days!) of my pregnancy,  but I must admit that I am getting pretty uncomfortable.    I simply cannot wait until Scott arrives so we can meet him.    I'm also extremely curious what he looks like.  I  know that according to the laws of evolution,  babies tend to look like their fathers. (NY Times) I wonder,  though,  what specific traits we will see.  Stay tuned!

  1. Aw so awesome! You look good! Isn't it funny to look back at our early pics and remember on HDBD we all thought we were "huge"??
