37 Weeks

As of yesterday, our little baby girl was considered Full Term!  Yay!  Her arrival is just around the corner!

I had my checkup today, and things went great.  I gained a whole pound (I know none of you really care, but I wish I would have kept track with Calin, so I'm making a point to keep track this time, sorry you have to read about it too :-) ).  Oh, and my Group B came back negative, yay!

My Dr said July gets super busy at the hospital, so he said I should schedule an induction date now just in case she decides to come more than a week late.  And considering my progress so far, or whatever, he said I could pick a day between one week before and one week after my due date if I wanted to.  Going into this visit I was not prepared to schedule an induction date, so I had no idea.  I definitely don't want to be induced, so I was going to opt for a week after my due date, but oh my, the thought of being pregnant for another whole month seems crazy!  And my mom is coming on the 8th, so I opted for the 13th, 7am.  We'll see how that goes.  He said I can always change it, but at least I'm in the books if I need it.  It's still weird to me that I scheduled it though, and hopefully she will come on her own!  

And here are some random pictures from a week ago.  One afternoon we went to a park down the street.  It was miserable!   Way too hot!!  We stayed maybe 5 min.  Jordan and I were dying!  Calin probably could have played for an hour.  Ugh, this heat is killing me!  I spent all winter indoors because it was too cold, and now we're spending all summer inside because it's too hot. Total bummer!

Calin went down the slide by himself after seeing Jordan go, but made me go down with him once I was up there.  We had to push our way down.   Not so fun.

And since I don't have an official belly shot for you all to see, here is nice flattering picture of my pregnant self. hahaha

My belly is so big and distracting I bet you barely even noticed Calin down there huh?  :)

While I was pregnant with Calin everyone always commented on how big I was.  And I was big!  But this time people keep telling me I'm small and I think that has made me almost believe it (even though I'm sure they are just talking about the rest of me, and trying to avoid the hugeness of my pregnant belly).  Or maybe it's just that with Calin, I never had a belly that stuck out like that, and this time around it's no big deal?  I keep thinking I'm smaller than I was with him, but then I look at that picture above, and compare it to this one below taken at 39 weeks (the day before I had Calin), and I'm pretty sure I'll be there in 2 weeks.

Or maybe I'm already that big and I'm just going to get bigger?  In that case, there is no way I'm letting her come too late.  4 more weeks and I'll definitely get as big as my mom was when she was prego with me . . .
