Week 40: Baby!!!!

Despite what Baby Center's 40 week update says about the size of the baby, this is what I say: Today your baby is the size of a BABY. A newborn that is ready for the world in every single way, and needs to get out of your belly and into your arms! There is no need to compare him to fruits and vegetables anymore– he's a full grown infant and now you must wait patiently for him to realize that it's time to make his way through the birth canal. Do you hear that baby? Let's get a move on it!

Ok fine, since I know some of you love the real updates, here ya go:
Week 40: Pumpkin baby


How your baby's growing:
It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds (a small pumpkin) and is about 20 inches long. His skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason your baby's noggin may look a little conehead-ish after birth. Rest assured — it's normal and temporary.
