Cole Thomas at 37 Weeks

Here's this week's update from babycenter.com:

Your baby is now considered "full term," even though your due date is three weeks away. If you go into labor now, his lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb.

Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like the stalk of a Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

Yippee - 37 weeks! I can't believe we've made it! We're pretty much ready for Cole. I'm in full-blown nesting mode... I'm working on my fifth load of laundry this morning, and it's only 11:00 am. In the last week, I've cleaned and organized the pantry, Syd's special cabinet, and the guest room cabinets. I really can't control myself.
