38 wks LMP (36 wks gestation).
The baby weighs approximately 6.80 lbs or 3083 grams and is 19.61 inches or 49.8 cm long according to pregnancy.org however, this may be plus or minus 2 pounds from the 7.9 pounds measured at last weeks ultrasound.
The baby has definitely began to drop farther towards the cervix. The baby feels really heavy.  

Interesting facts: Only five percent of babies are born on their due date.
The weight of the original fertilized egg has increase six billion times! What a concept!

If anyone is interested in putting in their guesses in our baby pool, here is the link http://www.expectnet.com/game.php with the game name as verkley2.  It is just for fun.  :)

Brian started his new job at EMC today.  That didn't really slow us down.  It just made for more hours in our day.
We all got up early and then Hadley and I took Brian to the GO train, and the rest of the day consisted of a pick up from freecycle, a trip to McMillan's Orchard, a few hours at the zoo with my sister Mandy and her family, and then dinner out with Brian to celebrate his first day.  Keg Style.  YUM!
