update

We are now at 37 weeks! Fletcher has been keeping us on our toes. At 34 weeks he was breech and didn't look like he was going to budge. I convinced myself that a C-section wasn't going to be so bad after all. I liked the idea of knowing when he was coming and there being some control. At 36 weeks he flipped but the doctor wanted to make sure so I went for an ultrasound last Wednesday and sure enough he is head down and ready to go! Of course I wanted to know how big he is so the ultrasound tech did lots of measurements. I was thinking 6.5lbs or so but to my surprise, she calculated him at 8lbs 2oz. I was so shocked, I forgot to take the pictures she made for me. The doctor is going to induce me 12-28 if he isn't here before (he's going to California for new years) and babies gain like 1/2 to1 pound a week in the end. So everyone be on the lookout for me to be on the news because I had a sumo wrestler baby!! I know ultrasound weights can be off by a pound so I am hoping he isn't that big. The machine did predict my due date to be 12-13 which is today!! Sounds good to me!!

These next few pictures are of the ADORABLE bumper my mother-in-law has been working on. It came in the mail yesterday and I went nuts!!! The sides are a little long so she is going to shorten them when she gets here.(with my new sewing machine!) For now I put the long pieces in and they look GREAT!!!!
