I think we are ready for Baby Krepps to make her debute! One important thing not marked off of our list yet is taking the "Caring for Baby Class"... seems pretty important!

At times I am sure that if I look down I will see an outline of her foot about to pop through my skin!

How your baby's growing:Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected her skin during her nine-month amniotic bath.
