36 Weeks and counting...
I went for my 36 week check up today. After seeing my swollen feet and checking my too high blood pressure I was told to go home and go to bed! They said I can finish the 2 days of work at the end of the week, but that's it. (I'd planned to have next week as my last full week of work.) They also decided to do a little spontaneous sonogram to check in on the little guy and see how he was measuring - WELL, he's measuring alright! At the end of the sono the nurse said, "Well, he's 7 pounds 10 ounces," and I said, "Oh you mean, when I deliver that's what he should be?" and she said, "Nope, that's how much he weighs right now!" And I said..."I think I might cry." At this point he should gain a 1/2 pound per week till the end - meaning by the end he should weigh 9 pounds 10 ounces - hopefully THAT won't be the case! That being said, they told me that if I don't have him in 3 weeks they will likely induce. So I guess the countdown in on... but it may be slow going from the bed...
