Today was an interesting Doctor appointment. We went in for our 36 week (even though right now I'm only about 35 1/2 weeks) and we had our final ultrasound of the baby. Currently the baby already weighs 6lbs 15oz!! We have quite the lunker in there! :) This puts baby McKone in the 90th percentile! If I were to go until full term, it would almost guarantee the baby will weigh over 9lbs. Not quite the size I was when I was born! So to be cautious, they hooked me up to a monitor to measure the baby's movements and heart rate and to see if I was having any contractions. Well, apparently the contractions are coming on rather regularly (I didn't realize that pressure was contractions and not the baby moving around) and Dr. Block said, "Oh, wouldn't this be exciting if you went into labor today!" Um no! I'm not totally ready yet!!!! Umm... work, events, carseat, baby bag... still so much to do!!
We had a cervical exam done and I'm already 2 centimeters dilated. But I guess thankfully it's a firm dilation (Whatever that means). Anyways, Dr. Block said she would be surprised if I stay pregnant longer than 2 weeks! She's predicting 10 days. OMG! I can't believe this is almost here. Up until now the reality of it all hasn't totally sunk in. I could have a baby in my home 2 weeks from now. I'm excited, nervous and scared all at the same time!
Here's how I look at 35 1/2 weeks...
(Scott calls this the "Do you believe in miracles" picture)
Why I look so much larger here, I have no idea! I'm blaming it on bad angles...
