Baby This Week | 37 Weeks
The Facts – Baby likely measures around 18.9 to 20.9 inches and weighs about 6.2 to 9.2 pounds. Little on is gaining about 1/2 ounce each day, this fat helps her body regulate her temperature and keep an even blood-sugar level. The brain, and the skull that houses it, continue to grow. Baby is practicing his or her breathing, but has increasingly less space to practice stretching and kicking. Little one’s intestines are also building up meconium, a greenish-black substance made of baby by-products such as dead cells, shed lanugo, and amniotic fluid. It’ll become baby’s first bowel movement, hopefully after she is out of the womb! Baby is now considered “full term,” even though your due date is three weeks away. If he or she were to be born now, his or her lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb.

Freebie Friday | Weekly Schedule Printable
As we approach one of the busiest times of the year with the school year in session and the holidays right around the corner, its important to stay organized. Although we all have our smartphones and tablets to keep track of our daily tasks, sometimes its good to still write things down. This printable is especially good for those in school (elementary, middle, high, college), because they can easily put it in their binders. I recommend using sheet protectors, so that you don’t have reprint them over and over. They can easily be found at your local office supply store, Target, Wal-Mart, or on Amazon. You can use a dry erase marker or even permanent marker on sheet protectors. If you use a permanent marker, all you need is a little alcohol to wipe clean with. Continue reading
