Let the Countdown Begin....

As of today baby has been growing for 37 weeks, we are heading to the doctor today for our check up and then to the hospital for some additional fetal monitoring.  We had a growth check last week and little guy is measuring in the 35%, 5 lbs. 11oz. but they said it could be +/- 1lb. so much for jumbo baby!  It is amazing how slow the IVF process for us seemed and then after that time has just flown by.  With many of my girlfriends expecting we have started to see some of the babies since May of this year and will continue to meet many little ones in the future, it makes this time in my life so special to have mommies-to-be to share it with as well as those who are already mommies and sharing their advice!

I feel as if my belly cannot grow any more and the little guy is fighting to get out with all the elbowing of my left side he is doing :)  I know it is only a matter of time until he makes his debut but I have really enjoyed my pregnancy and experienced very little issues along the journey.  It has been a blessing that we were able to have this child and it will be a miracle when he comes into the world.  We have purchased everything, washed all the clothes, sterilized all the toys, stroller, etc. the car seat is installed and we are ready to meet him.  In the mean time, i will continue to watch my feet swell everyday, enjoy staying in bed when i am not feeling 100%, and going on my own schedule.  Until then....we will be waiting!
