Your baby has really plumped up. They weigh about 6.8 pounds and is over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). They have a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold their hand for the first time! Their 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 they're born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If they're born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time they're 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after they're born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

Wow! Happy last day of work! I know everyone tells you this, but really, sleeeeeep! Sleep in, take an afternoon nap and then take another.
wow, your maternity leave is a year long? CRAZY Jealous!
Yup! The USA is basically the only western country without good maternity benefits, but then again it's basically the only western country without nationalized healthcare, too!
