34 Weeks and Counting

I've officially reached 34 weeks in my pregnancy and we sure are excited for our little bundle of joy to arrive. If you can believe it, here are some of the stats for Baby Knight:

• Approximate length 16 to 18 inches, weight 4 to 5 pounds.
• Her/his arms and legs are continuing to fill out from fat accumulation.
• She/He's dimpling at his/her elbows and knees and forming creases around his/her wrists and neck.
• The percentage of fat on his/her body is 8%, compared with only 1% of his/her body weight at 20 weeks. At birth, his/her body fat will be about 15%, helping him/her to keep warm.

Dr. Katz informed me at my appointment today that the baby should be somewhere over 7 pounds and under 10 pounds. I'm cheering more toward a 7 pounder but I'm definitely hoping for healthy no matter what.
