t-minus 17 days (and counting)

We're in Week 36 now, which means we have just over two weeks left to go. Amazing.

Professor Goldblatt is currently gaining roughly an ounce a day and now weighs in somewhere around 6 lbs, or about the size of a crenshaw melon (whether that makes her a Blood or a Crip, I'm not really sure). I'm not even gonna try to paraphrase the next part, so let's just give you the info straight from the source: "She's shedding most of the downy hair that covered her body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath." Lovely, no? It's like a prenatal spa in there, apparently.

The doctor told Overboard that the good Prof. is facing downward, which to me creates imagery of those zero-gravity boots that were so popular in the '80s. She is still squirming around in there, and we're having fun playing many a round of "there goes Mommy's belly again" every time Overboard sits down.

In the meantime, we've been speculating a bit on what Goldblatt will be like when she hits the "real world." Will she be like Kenny? Or will she be the polar opposite? Or maybe somewhere in between? No matter the results, it should be interesting.
