Our Babies at week 38

As we approaches the D-Day, Felin and I kept telling the babies that they had done well. They are indeed blessed babies who are able to hold this long in Felin's body. God had blessed us with the babies and he will surely provide them with good health and joy. At this stage, we have faith and the delivery will be smooth and babies be born healthy. Felin will surely have enough milk supply for them so that they can absorb the best nutrients from the mother's milk. God will also provide us with the financial and psychological capability to take care of them in the near future.
Our faith is simple because we believe the babies are from him and he will not bring anything that are no good to us.

Felin's movement are getting slower over the last few days because Josiah had started to move downwards even though he is in breech position. With Felin's left calf still in pain, she is having difficulty moving around at this stage. We are just glad that it will be over in the next 2 days and the challenges ahead are now different.

So what is actually happening on the 38th week?

During the 38th week of pregnancy, the baby’s systems and functions continue to increase. These include:
  • The baby’s organ functions refine when you are 38 weeks pregnant.
  • His nervous system functions increase.
  • His brain helps him refine breathing, improve digestion, regulate his heart rate, and prepare for eating during the 38th week of pregnancy.
  • The baby might pass solid waste, called meconium, prior to delivery.
  • He has reached what will likely be his birth length.
From what I know, baby is now the size of a pumpkin...
