Thirty-eight Weeks Pregnant

I have really plumped up. I weigh between 6 and 7½ pounds (boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls), and I'm nearly 20 inches long. I have a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold my hand for the first time! My organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Wondering what colour my eyes will be? You may not be able to tell straight away. If I'm born with brown eyes, they'll probably stay brown. If I'm born with grey or blue eyes, they may stay unchanged or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time I'm nine months old. That's because my irises may gain more pigment in the months after I'm born, but they won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than grey or blue eyes.)
