Courtesy of Baby Center:
Your baby has really plumped up. He weighs about 6.8 pounds and he's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). He has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold his hand for the first time! His organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.
Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If he's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If he's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time he's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after he's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
I reached the 38 week mark yesterday! Had a great appointment with the doctor yesterday! Everything is progressing naturally which is a good sign! She is thinking that Landon will be in the 8lb family and she doesn't foresee any problems for the delivery! All good signs! I go back on Monday and my fingers are crossed we will be meeting Landon very soon!

Oh how exciting. I am waiting for my phone call any minute. I have pictures of what I think he will look like running through my head. My thoughts are overwhelmed on thinking about seeing him for the first time. I love you all very, very much!
