36 Weeks...and counting

Had another doctor appointment today. Looks like the baby had another growth spurt. He's measuring in around 8lb 1oz (give or take a pound). His femur is long too, so it looks like he's tall. I don't have the exact measurement, but it was above 7cm and in the 90something percentile. We'll see how tall he is when we meet him!

The doc saw on my NST sheet (the monitoring I do at the hospital 2x/wk) that I was having relatively frequent contractions, and then checked to see if they were doing anything yet. I'm 3cm dilated. Next week, she'll try some methods to try to bring the onset of labor without inducing me. If my body is ready to go into labor, I should have the baby by the end of next week. If not, she'll try again the following week.

Here is today's pic of the baby. Looks pretty similar to the last one...she commented on the chubby cheeks. At least this one may favor me a bit with the Derr cheeks...Brayden has always looked just like Greg. :)
