Crenshaw Melon Baby!!!

Wow! 36 weeks already, have about 28 days left till he's here. That's if he's right on time :) This week Trent should be around 6 pounds and still packing on the pounds at a rate of about an ounce a day. (Length: more than 18 1/2 inches, head to heel.)

He's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. At the end of this week, Trent is considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.)
