37 week check-up

Well, it looks like I am going to have Jacob on February 21st. The ultrasound showed that he weighs 6 lb 11 oz. His head is down like it is supposed to be, and he is doing fine. However, in another 2 weeks he will be almost 8 lbs. The doctor said that he will be getting too big for me. Apparently, my wide hips and big butt are quite deceiving. I always assumed my birth canal, etc. was as wide as the rest of me. You know what they say about assumptions! I have not started to dilate or thin yet, though. She said we can go ahead and schedule an induction for Ash Wednesday--at 4:00 in the morning!! OH MY GOD!!! I am going to have a baby in 2 weeks!! Needless to say, I have not gotten any work done today. My mind is racing and I can't seem to focus on anything for more than a couple minutes.

Yipppeeee! Isn't it exciting to actually "know" the day you will become a Mommy? I only had one day to think about it- you have 2 weeks.... I don't envy you!!!! Try and get as much sleep as possible and as selfish as it sounds, spend some good quality time with the hubby. You'll understand soon enough:) Keep us posted!
