....but it's not working. Today we are at 36 weeks, which to me means nothing. But according to the baby website the baby will be full-term at the end of this week. I call FALSE ADVERTISING! If you are going to give a baby's due date, then give the full-term date, none of this over-cooking date. How ridiculous is that?? A due date is when the baby is due, not a "let's shoot for this day" kind of date. So basically I'm told that it could be any day now. ANY DAY NOW. I, on the other hand, have replied that the baby will not come until noon on the due date. So August 27 at 12pm is when baby will be born. My last day of work is the 23rd, so I have given permission to the baby to come any day after that, but not sooner. I did not hear any back-talk in reply, so I'm gonna assume that the baby is in agreement.
So there are some things to note this week. The baby is around 6lbs (according to the website) and weighs as much as a "Crenshaw melon". Seriously, I don't know who chooses these comparison foods. In case you were curious (and I know you are) some other things that weigh 6lbs are a gallon of milk, and a human's skin. Did you just picture it sitting in a pile like discarded clothing? You did now. You're welcome for the mental picture.
The baby is getting rid of its "downy covering of hair" and the waxy film that is is covered in. And guess what! It's swallowing all of it, and that's what its first bowel movement will consist of. They actually mentioned that. So gross. So, so gross. I really didn't need to know that. That would be like eating any skin that peels off from a sunburn, and licking off any sweat. Once again, you're welcome.
