Monday was... eventful. I didn't sleep at all Sunday night which my body did not like. And by not like, I mean that I got to visit the hospital. Fun fun. They gave me different drugs and said, Ok, get to 37 weeks (10 days from now) and we'll talk about getting this baby out of you. So I got my wish of getting a few days knocked off the countdown.
Today I went in for an ultrasound and was excited to hear that everything is measuring totally on schedule. They put my due
date for October 2 give/take 2 weeks and estimate the weight at 5 lbs. 14 oz., give/take 1/2 lb so he's over 5 lbs for sure which is good. Obviously we want him to be a little bigger, but it's not like he's only 2 lbs or something. I was really leary that they might say he was underdeveloped but that doesn't seem like it will be an issue. He slept like the dead though even though the lady did her damnedest to wake him -- oh, and HE's definitely a HE. We saw the scrotum and penis pretty clearly. He had his foot right to his head and we could see him sucking which was pretty cool. His head is way down and the u/s tech was surprised that my full bladder didn't push him up "apparently he doesn't mind being squished" was what she said. Anyhow, all looks good so hopefully we'll have a healthy baby boy soon.
I haven't dropped or had any impending labor signs yet but Thursday I'll have an exam to see if I'm yet progressing. I can tell you that, though baby seems pretty happy just hanging out, my body is ready to have some time off pregnancy.
And no, we haven't made any progress on a name, please don't ask :)
