36 Weeks

36 weeks - I am officially 9 months pregnant!

Jack is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath.

I'm wasn't so sure what a crenshaw melon was or what looked like, but I guess this is it, according to Baby Center:



Here's a new belly picture with a comparison to my 14 week picture (yeah I look a little more tired in the second picture....):
