38 weeks and dr.'s appointment!

Your baby has really plumped up. He weighs about 6.8 pounds and he's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). he has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold his hand for the first time! His organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.
We went to the doctor today on our 2 year anniversary! I had gained one more pound for a total of 26 pounds. Yikes! His heart rate was a high 172! I think he was running laps in there! Nothing had changed dilation wise since last week, but we discussed what the plan was going to be. We will be 38 weeks on Thursday, and we go back to the doctor next Tuesday morning. If he doesn't come on his own she is going to do an ultrasound, and if he is still measuring big she is going to induce at 39 weeks. (The end of next week) She is afraid if she doesn't induce then I won't be able to have him vaginally because of the size. If he measures normal size then they are going to induce at 40 weeks if he doesn't come on his own. SO the longest it can be is 2 1/2 weeks! I am SO ready and excited. 2 1/2 weeks at the longest....
