Today I had my 38 week check-up/non-stress test. The baby was not real active, I am sure it was just tired from a restless night, Hannah is sick and was up coughing most of the night. The doctor checked my cervix and found that I am 1 1/2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. The doctor also stripped my membranes, we are hoping to go into labor by next week. I am sure the baby will make that decision though.
Here is the development information from babycenter.com
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
