My email told me this today: Your baby now weights about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which she'll need to regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.

What a belly! Has she "dropped" yet so you can breathe easier? And yes your email is right. I'll see 34 weekers in the NICU but besides the slow to eat thing... they're fine. Wow... you're gonna be a mommy in 6 weeks. So exciting!
Wow, you are a mommy in 6 weeks, That is so amazing. You look so pretty and I can totally see the glow.
That is a darn cute picture of you! She's almost here! Hang it there.
You look gorgeous! Let's hope she'll come at a time when she'll be healthiest.
