This weekend marks 38 weeks, which means I have two weeks left til my due date!!! I definitely feel almost 10 months pregnant, and have reached the 'I'm ready...' point in my pregnancy! It's been a really smooth, comfortable pregnancy for the most part, but over the last few weeks I've gotten significantly more uncomfortable. My hips are hurting, lower back pain, swelling in my hands, ankles, and feet, and just feeling HUGE! With only two weeks left, the end is in sight, and I get so excited to meet Avery! My hospital bag is packed, and in the car. Both car seats are in the car, and ready for Avery...come on little girl, feel free to make your appearance!
This is what BabyCenter says about her development...
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). 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.)

I thought it was so incredible that Sarah was born with grey eyes and the most they have changed is a hint of green so that when she cries her eyes are a dark olive color. I can't wait to see pics of those beautiful peepers I just know Avery is going to have. :)
