This week Baby Sonny is roughly 6.75 pounds and is about 19 inches from head to toe. He is the size of a watermelon! Baby Sonny is preparing for life outside of the womb and is actively shedding his lanugo (downy baby hair) and vernix caseosa (white outer covering). He continues to add fat to his little frame and all of his organs should be ready for life in the outside world.
I posted the other week that I wanted to remain pregnant a little longer. I'm over that! I can't wait for Baby Sonny to arrive and meet him in person! I'm very fortunate and have had an uncomplicated and easy pregnancy thus far. I really cannot complain. However, I want the pregnancy to be over and for Baby Sonny to be here!!! It's strange because I felt that I kept counting down the weeks until I hit the 40 week mark. But Baby Sonny can literally arrive at any moment or wait to be induced at 42 weeks. I don't think he has any intention of leaving the womb any time soon...
My dad was supposed to travel to India this past Saturday for a 2 weeks business trip. A few days before he was supposed to leave, his trip got postponed. Hear that Baby Sonny? You can now arrive ANY time! No need to wait for your Opa to return back home!
Thanks again for all of your love and support during this pregnancy. It's a great feeling that Baby Sonny will be entering this world surrounded by a great family and friends.
