38 Weeks

Well... we are getting closer and closer down to the wire. The due date is just two weeks away: November 26. We hit 38 weeks today:
Erika's blood pressure has been high lately. It does not appear to be preeclampsia, which is good, but it is something that is concerning nonetheless. Please be praying for it to stay down and for Erika to be able to rest a lot, which should help it some. 

As always, here is the latest from a biological point of view (courtesy of Baby Center):
Your baby has really plumped up. He weighs about 6.8 pounds and he's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). He has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold his hand for the first time! His organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? If he's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If he's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time he's 9 months old.
