week 36's email update:Your baby is gaining about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy hair that covered her body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath. Next week, your baby will be considered full-term. Most likely she's in a head-down position, but if she isn't, your practitioner may suggest scheduling an external cephalic version, where she'll try to turn your baby by manipulating her from the outside of your belly.
it's been a quiet week. louie has developed a severe and constant case of gas. there's not much paint left on our walls. it doesn't seem to bother him though....the silent but deadlies (sbds) are the worst. they even woke me up last night....any suggestions?
tommorrow is our weekly check up with the doctor.
