37 weeks!

I don't know how these last few weeks can seem to take forever and the past 9 months flew by.  It doesn't seem right (or very nice).  I guess it's because we're all ready for our little boy and all we have to do is sit and wait.  If we would've been a little slower to get everything ready he would be here already, I know it. :)

Monday I had my BPP/NST.  Both went extremely well.  He scored an 8 out of 8 on the BPP (ultrasound-but I don't know exactly what the score is based on....I don't really care considering it's a perfect score, that's all that matters!) and he passed the NST before my time was even up.  He is an extremely happy and healthy baby and seems to be perfectly content where he is.  Mommy is not content though, I'm ready to have him!

I had my weekly Dr. appt yesterday.  It went well also.  I was checked and I am 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced, so perhaps he'll be here sooner than later after all!  As of last Monday (the 18th) he weighed approx 7 lbs 10 oz (give or take 14 oz).  Big boy!  I asked about being induced or having a c-section (neither of which I want-I'd rather it all happen when God wants it to) and she said that since he is still in the normal weight range there is no need to schedule anything right now.  Whew!  She noticed my fat feet and asked how my blood pressure was (then looked at my chart) and said that my blood pressure was great so no worries about the swelling....although it is extremely annoying and weird feeling.  I asked about the tingling and numbness in my right hand and she said that is normal with the swelling and carpel tunnel during pregnancy.  I'm looking forward to all of the swelling and numbness to go away when he's born!  I've gained 28 lbs total which I'm pretty happy about considering how much I eat (it seems we have a great eater on our hands already, haha :) ).  I'm excited to see what I weigh after he's born. :)  My numbers are still great (I didn't have a high number all week) so the little man is growing healthy and not because of a sugar issue.  Thankfully. :)

Maybe the next post will be the birth story of our boy!  But....I'm not counting on it. :)
