38 weeks in 95 degrees

At my doctor appoiontment today, baby girl's heartbeat was 160 (great) and had the 'echo' with it which my dr said means labor is close! I'm one centimeter and 40% effaced. Braxton Hicks are everyday and I am at the point where I don't want to be in public anymore--just want to curl up on the couch in my pjs! Still working but for sure, maternity leave will start Aug 1st if not sooner =)

How baby's growing:

Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long! She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her 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 she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she'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 she'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.)
