37 weeks

Hello all,

This week Baby Kumquat is said to be 6 1/3 pounds and over 19 inches long. From head to heel this is about the length of a stalk of Swiss chard. The best past is that if Baby Kumquat has hair, hopefully a bunch of red hair, it should be between 1/2 to 1 1/2 inches long.

I am including a belly picture for this week since I am down to only 18 days left until the official due date, not that I'm counting. Nothing much has been going on around here since we got the "white death" on Friday and schools have been closed ever since. I should point out that we only got 2-3 inches of snow here with freezing rain on top of it. Some areas north and west of us got up to 8 inches. It was enough for the kids to go sledding down the street for 3 days though!

Tomorrow it is expected to reach 50 degrees (the neighborhood kids have another snow day!) but since no one here seems to have a snow shovel or salt to treat the ice goodness only knows when the kids will go back to school! Oh, did I mention that the weather forecast is saying that we may get more snow on Friday/Saturday?
