How big is Maddox? - 39 weeks

7 days to go until our due date!!! Collin and I are both getting a little antsy and are really ready for our little guy to get here. I honestly think the hardest part of this whole pregnancy thing is these last couple of weeks...all the waiting and not knowing is just so hard. it is good to know that it won't be much longer though!!

At this point Maddox is about the size (weight-wise) of a mini watermelon.


He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are shedding off as new skin forms underneath.

We are now at the point where things could get going at any time. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow morning at 10 am...hopefully we will have some kind of progress this time. Either way I will be asking about setting an induction date at this appointment. Both of our families will be coming to town at the end of this week and staying until around the 4th so Maddox definitely needs to come before they all have to leave. I'll be sure to let you all know how things go after my appointment :D.
