Gestational Age 36 weeks: Romaine Lettuce

Top of the morning!

Today Mom got an email that said at 36 weeks, I am supposed to be the size of a head of romaine lettuce; about 6 pounds and 18.5" long.  I am pretty close!  I weighed in at a whopping 4 pounds 12 ounces this evening, and my length was around 17" last Sunday.  It's pretty amazing that this place figured out how to grow a baby outside of mommies.  Pretty amazing and a little too Brave New World if I think about it too much.  What, you think I sit around all day and get read the Hungry Caterpillar and Cat in the Hat? I'm all about the classics.  I am well read for 45 days old.  

My supposed 36 week target. Looks healthy.


I had a busy day today!  Mommy and I hung out for a bit until Grandma got here and then she made a break for it to eat lunch with her coworkers for Stephen's going away lunch and to run a bunch of errands to prepare for me going home one day.

I hung out with Grammy Bond who held me until her arm basically fell off; only taking a single restroom break.  She told me all about my family and said I one day I would meet my Grandma Simpson and she would hold me too!  I can't wait!

Lindsey gave me a bath while Grammy took 5,000 pictures.  I thought all babies got baths, but she thought this one was extra special for some reason.  I am starting to enjoy my baths, and I get them every three days.  The trick is not getting so relaxed that I end up pooping in the tub, because then I have to get another bath that is quicker, in a small tub, and waaaaaaay less relaxing.


I don't like to be wet unless I have a warm water blanket on.

Ooooh yeah now we're talking.


My wubanub has a rival for best friend.  Grammy Bond holds me all the time.
