Week 37 is here and LOTS to tell!!

OK, so this past Tuesday we went to our Doctor for the weekly check-up and found that our lil angel is BREECH!! Dr. is very certain that he will not turn this late in the game due to his size. SO...we will continue going in for weekly check-ups on Tuesdays until Aug 11th. At that point, the Dr. has the last sonogram scheduled. If he is still breech at that time, then we will have a c-section scheduled that week, which will be 39 weeks along. So, it looks like he will probably be here in 2 weeks, unless I go into labor sooner! Needless to say, bags are packed and we are READY for our lil man to get here! I really do not care how he comes as God has given me a peace either way. I just want to hold him and know he is safe! So, pray he continues to grow strong and healthy and comes exactly how God intended...oh yeah, and maybe pray for a fast, easy and safe delivery! :)

Here is what he has been up to this week!
"Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away. Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz."
