Hopefully this will be my last blog post before I go into labor...I'm not counting on it, but hopeful. Today we had our 40 week appt, which included another ultrasound, non stress test and check up. The ultrasound went well, a quick one, we got a few new face shots. They are estimating 8lbs, 4 oz. Then it was off to the comfy recliner for the non stress test where they monitor the baby's heartbeat for a period of time. Just as I was starting to get sleepy it was off to the checkup, which went well, still 3 cm, and now 75 % effaced. The asked how I was feeling and what my opinion on inducing would be. I said, hold off until Monday and induce Monday if nothing has happened over the weekend. He said thats exactly what he was thinking...so thats the new plan. Keep your fingers crossed that something will take place before Monday.I finished up my last day at work today. It was very bittersweet. I truly love my job and my responsibilities, and it was very hard to walk away. But I was starting to get very tired and dread being there. I know everything is in good hands (Carrie's), but I'm worried she might go insane with the work load before I return. I'm just hoping she doesnt decide to hate me for having a baby!
Shannon and Kellie are venturing up from Buffalo tomorrow to hang out for the afternoon...unless I go into labor tonight...we are touching base in the morning to decide on a plan
So nothing new other then, the baby should be here any day! We will keep you all posted as soon as we have any new news, and please keep us and our new baby in your thoughts and prayers!
Love to all!
The Huge 40 Week shot

You look fantastic!!! I keep wanting to leave you a little note to let you know that I have been thinking of you, but as you can imagine....life here is just plain chaos! I am sooo excited for you, and I know that you are sooo close now! Good luck AND PLEASE do not hesitate to call/email/yell/scream if you have any questions on anything, really, we've been through most of it times 3.... and i'm usually up (I think I hear Brooklyn now!). I am sending lots of labor vibes your way, because I know that inductions can be no fun at all (and I won't share the 42 hour story with you) but please know that we are thinking of you and can not wait to meet your little one! Best wishes!
what a cool little face picture!
8lbs 4oz is a very good size... i.e. me when I was born :)
