1 week to go

1 week more, or less than 5 days to go before I am induced (if I don't go into labor naturally). This is what my OB recommended as of Tuesday, during my latest OB appointment. She found out from my ultrasound that baby already weighs 7.7 lbs or approximately 3.3 kilos despite me still on diet and losing almost 2 kilos. We are still hoping that I could still give birth naturally.

According to babycenter:

Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
