The Update

Yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment. Things are looking fine... weight gain is up to 20 lbs. (oink, oink), blood pressure is normal, and Isaac's heartbeat was steady and strong at 134 beats per minute. There are three doctors at the practice I go to and yesterday we saw my official OB/GYN. Guess what he thinks? He thinks that if I go full-term, the baby could be 9 or 9 1/2 lbs! Holy crap! He looked over at Josh and said, "I wonder where that comes from." LOL

We are both praying that in 2-3 weeks, my body will start to progress on it's own and I can labor and deliver naturally (early is fine by me!).We visited the birthing center at the hospital next and that was a big eye opener! It just made things seem a lot more real. The birthing suites are actually quite nice and big. Josh was happy to see that they had a pull-out couch for him. I was happy to hear that I get to stay in my same room the whole time through labor, delivery, and recovery. The nurses were all very helpful and friendly... although it was a bit freaky to hear the one say, "We'll see you later this month!" as we walked out.
