37 Weeks - "Wow, he's big"

At my appointment this week the Dr. said "Wow, he's big."

Isn't that nice?




I went from measuring right at where I should to measuring a couple of weeks ahead- so I'm measuring closer to 39 than 37 according to the Doc. We're going in again this Thursday and will have an ultrasound so she can see how big he's looking. It shouldn't make much of a difference in delivery date - but we'll know more on Thursday. I've heard lots of stories about people who were told they were carrying 10lb babies but ended up having 7 or 8 lb babies- so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Other than that things are pretty boring. Ankles and fingers are swollen, indigestion arrived in full force a few weeks ago and the belly still seems to be growing. Baby room is mostly ready and we'll be putting the car seats in the car soon.

I don't think he'll be making an early appearance - my money is on a February baby. Post your predictions in the comments section!
