37 1/2 weeks and counting down

I had my 37 week appointment today. For the past 4 weeks I have been measuring about 2 weeks above my due date (so at 34 weeks measuring 36). Well this week I went in and I was measuring 5 weeks. The midwife thought it would be a good idea to go and check things out to see why I was so big! Off to the utlrasound room I went. I got to see little"Bob" (that is what we are calling him since we haven't finalized on a name yet) and the ultrasound showed that I had a lot of amniotic fluid and that he was already measuring 8lbs 3 oz!!!! This got me a little worried since Eli was 8 lbs 4 oz full term and they had to use suction to get him out. They decided to wait another week and do another ultrasound next Monday and if he is in the 90% they will probably go ahead and induce. Guess I better get my backside in gear and get everything done this week, just in case. Oh man we grow them big!

Big babies are the best, I think, I have never had a small one.
