Something to Smile About

At 37 weeks, Baby Harlan is the size of a watermelon! 
Baby has reached full term. He likely measures around 18.9 to 20.9 inches and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds (guessing we are on the heavier side!).  He's gaining about 1/2 ounce each day.

While Harlan seems to be doing great, Mommy is certainly feeling the misery known to come at this far along.  There are plenty of contractions throughout each day, but none have been regular since last week.  Mommy is too tired to "nest" and clean the house, but she has been taking naps with Waverly and that makes it all better! 

Waverly seems to understand more and more about being a big sister soon!
Mommy found a movie for her where her favorite character, Dora, becomes a big sister.  We watch her show together and we talk about her baby brother.  Yesterday, Waverly patted my baby bump and said "cute baby"!  She was so sincere, I just had to laugh!  She's going to be a wonderful sister!
