So, I went in for my 37 week appt. today (a few days early) and they did an ultrasound to check the baby's weight - since BIG babies run in my family. Well, it looks like I'm going to have one myself!! My baby's weight range right now is from 7 pounds 14 ounces to 8 pounds 7 ounces. Whew.... that's a BIG baby! My Dr. doesn't like to induce before 38 1/2 weeks so I go back next Friday (I'll be 38 weeks) and she'll check me to see if I'm favorable for an induction and if so it'll probably be scheduled for the following week. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. But knowing this baby could be this big is scary!! But, the baby looked perfect and has adorable chubby cheeks!!

You don't know what you are having right? Keep us posted!
I can't complain too much. I'm tired, which is normal for being 9 months pregnant and the fact that the baby has been taking all of my iron makes me even more tired. I don't sleep much at all and the heartburn is killing me (kept me up all night last night). But I've been blessed with such a wonderful pregnancy that I hate to even complain at all. I'm still working. I plan on working up until I deliver and then working at home some during my 6 weeks off. Swelling is getting worse, which I didn't think was possible. The Dr. said I'm retaining a ton of fluids. But, that will go away soon! We don't know what we're having. Most people say Boy. I'm so excited to find out. Thanks for asking!!
Oh, so exciting!!! I can't believe you're still working. I am so excited to find out what you're having, you'll have to post pics asap. Speaking of pics, I think we need one more threadstyle pic before you deliver
Wow! he (I think it is a boy as well ) is bigger than what Jola was at birth!! and I went 40 weeks..

I love chubby babies!! they are sooo cute.
I'm way excited for you I can't wait for you to have your little bundle of joy!!
oh and I worked till the day I delivered...you'll be fine...if anything it is a way to keep your sanity during these last few weeks..I got soo antsy towards the end!!
I agree with Ayo about working till the last day. I did it and it kept me busy. induction was the way I went and c-section b/c Chris was two weeks late and not going wanting to moveI was so glad to get him out, he was 9 pounds and 9oz
