UPDATE
I have not posted in awhile but though I would give everyone an update on what is going on. We had an ultrasound when I was 37 weeks pregnant to get a look at his size, they estimated him to be about 6lbs 14oz and my doctor said they gain about an ounce a week after 36 weeks. That means if I carry him to my due date he will be 8.5-9lbs depending how accurate the ultrasound was. I knew all along he was not going to be small I just hope the ultrasound was pretty close to accurate because I do not want to be delivering a 10lb baby!! I go back to the doctor on Monday and she is going to talk to us about if we should go ahead and induce within the next week and a half or if I just want to wait a little bit longer to see if it will happen naturally. I have been doing everything I can think of to try and start labor but nothing works. My good friend Audra has been waking up at the crack of dawn with me to walk for 2 hours before work starts everyday, I have been mowing our lawn weekly with our push mower, doing some yardwork, helping Dave work on the buildout at our building, squats, jumping jacks, last week I even went over to Audra's dad's house and I jumped on his trampoline! All of this has resulted in maybe a total of 3 braxton hicks contractions a day. The last day of school was this past Thursday and now I am even more anxious to have him so I do not have to waste a minute of my summer break without spending time with him. I will try and update with a better pregnancy picture soon.
