36 weeks

I am almost there and boy can I feel it. The past couple of weeks have been really wearing on my body. Here is the lovely 36 week picture.


I went to the ultrasound specialist on Tuesday. The baby is already 7 lbs 9 oz... and I still have 4 weeks until my due date. I will go back and see him again in 3 weeks if I haven't delivered yet. He is pretty sure that the baby will be over 9 lbs in three weeks. He wants to monitor the size of the baby one more time... ya know for good measure... in case I wasn't already worried about birthing a ginormous baby. Today I went to my doctor for my 36 week check-up. He told me that everything looks great. He isn't worried about the baby getting too big. He says that I should think positively and it is definitely possible for me to deliver this baby. He asked if I still wanted to induce at 39 weeks. I told him that I was still unsure, but since I go back every week now I will keep him posted. I want the baby to be ready to be born. However, most days I just feel like I can't stand being pregnant anymore. I am more achy and sore by the end of the day than I was with Miriam. This week I have had a sense of feeling that the end is in sight. I am so excited to meet this baby boy. He could be here in 3 weeks. So exciting!

Miriam was trying to pose like me in the pictures.
I told her to put her hands on her hips. Cute huh?
