40 Weeks and Happy Due Date!

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. The biggest part of your baby's body is his head but  his  still-pliable skull will give it the flexibility necessary to squeeze through the birth canal. Many parents are surprised by how long and sharp their newborn's nails are from the get-go. Clipping them right away (ask a nurse for help) can prevent your baby from scratching his face.

Well, we made it to the due date today!  Yippee.  McKenna is feeling excited and anxious to meet her little one.  Dave is soooo ready to see his son!  The rest of us are taking numbers now on who gets to hold him first.  Bags and cameras are packed and are ready to go to the hospital no matter the time of day or night.

"Lights!"  "Camera!"  and......c'mon, Baby...."ACTION!"
