36....almost 37 weeks

I know I've been slack on posting updates with everything getting so close!

Here is what Evan is going through at 36 weeks:

Your baby continues to put on weight at about 1/2 pound each week. This layer of fat will help your baby regulate his body temperature after leaving your climate-controlled womb. In fact, your baby will be 15 percent fat at birth (and you ... well that's another story). Even in the womb, your baby can listen, feel, touch and see. The only thing separating him from living in the outside world is a little thing called the birth canal. 

Other highlights this week:

• His gums are firm with ridges that look somewhat like teeth, though his actual pearly whites won't start breaking through until he's between three months and a year old.
• Your baby has definite patterns of sleep and wakefulness—opening his eyes while awake and closing them while sleeping. Your baby will become alert and turn his head toward light and sound just as a newborn would—except when you put on that Celine Dion CD. Then the baby puts his hands up, turns away and gurgles, "Oh no you didn't!"
• Your baby is now around 18 1/2 inches long and nearly 6 pounds—just about as big as a breadbox!

Yep, so she's just getting fatter and fatter!  :)

And here are some belly pics from 36 weeks....in the bare-belly pictures, I had just woken up from a nap and the textured couch cushions left imprints on my back and belly!  haha...oh well, I'll take it if it means I can get a good nap!  :

Our next doctor appointment is tomorrow.  Hopefully everything is still going great.  And we get to view our maternity pictures tonight!  I'm excited to see how they turned out.  :)

Hope to keep everyone updated with new posts and pictures!  Thanks for checking in on us!  :)
