37 Week Update

We had our 37 week OB and ultrasound yesterday and we are very happy to report that baby is head down and ready for business! We are so happy that we don't have to make the decision between a version and a repeat c-section now. Baby's weight estimate was 7lbs 3 oz which is a little scary since Logan was 7lbs 6oz at 40 weeks, but ultrasound weight estimates are not that accurate and can be off up to a pound or more so we are taking that with a grain of salt. Otherwise baby measured perfectly. My blood pressure is still perfect 120/80 (with Logan at 37 weeks in was in the 140's so doing much better this time) and it looks like we might get to skip the whole high blood pressure racket this time...thank God! I am having a lot of contractions but they don't stay regular or last too long and they haven't dilated me any so far. So now we are in for the long hall. As long as both me and baby are doing good I can go up to two weeks past my due date, our goal is to let my body go into labor on it's own and show up to the hospital in active labor or with broken water. My doctor is so wonderful and he knows c-section is the very last resort and he is willing to really work with me, so we feel very good and not pressured at all. That is about it for now, I go to the doctor weekly now until I deliver....which could be any day now!
