Wow, I can’t believe I hadn’t done this already! I made one of these images for Ryan when I was like 2 months pregnant, lol. It just popped into my head yesterday so I finally found a website (morphthing.com), uploaded pictures of me and Steve, and waited 20 minutes for my “Morph Thing,” also known as our baby girl!

We are 100% (280 days; 40 weeks; 10 months) through. The Baby:
*Average newborns are about 20 inches long and weigh about 7.5 pounds (a small pumpkin!) *Only about 3-5% of babies are born exactly on their due dates *Arrival anytime in the next 2 WEEKS in considered normal *His growth is slowing dramatically *Amniotic fluid around him is starting to diminish and get cloudier as he sheds vernix from his skin *I put up this picture because it shows effacement and dilation.
