Pumpkin: should be between 19 and 21 inches long and weigh anywhere from 6 ¾ to 10 pounds. If you are having a boy, then he is most likely on the larger side of these ranges, because on average boys are bigger than girls, that's a relief!
Your baby’s bones have become hard, with the exception of her skull. The bones in the skull need to remain soft and pliable for delivery so that they can overlap as they pass through the birth canal. Because a newborn’s skull is designed this way, your baby’s head may have a cone appearance for the first several days of life. Your baby will actually have two soft spots, or fontanelles, on her head which allow for an easier delivery. The front fontanelle will become hard between the eighth and fifteenth month of life. The back fontanelle becomes hard between the third and fourth month.


Shawn: anxiously awaiting the arrival of his daughter any day now. Talks to her every morning trying to coax her out: "We have milk out here, it's really fun, I want to meet you, I love you."
Shawn is really funny. I'm glad he has positive energy to make the situation more enjoyable!
