6 Pounds 13 oz!

No no I haven't given birth yet! : )

But it is how much our "little" is weighing right now according to the fetal weight scan we had this week. I am 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant today!

All is looking great. We even saw a chubby thigh and the baby was "caressing the placenta" with his/her face as the technician put it. Too cute! I also had an internal exam and it looks like my cervix is starting to thin out which as the doctor put it, "things are starting to happen!". YOWZA!!!!! I am more excited than scared right now as I am soooooooooo looking forward to meeting this baby. He/she has literally taken over my body.

Luckily most of my weight gain (about 30 pounds) has all been in the belly area, so everything else looks the same. I haven't worn my rings or watch in a month-- my hands are swollen and my finger tips are numb. I have major heartburn still and leg pain at night, but I don't even care. I love love love this baby and I am oooozing with gratitude.

Next week is my last week of work too-- it will be wierd not going back to work, as I plan to be a full time mom, something I always wanted to do. In time though I am sure I'll end up freelance writing or something... But yes, so looking forward to raising our little and I am thankful we can do that.

Anyway, I guess now we wait and wait and wait and hopefully very soon, I will get to meet this amazing gift.

Please please G-d keep our little healthy, safe and growing strong...
