36 Week Dr Appt & Update

I am now at 36 weeks along! Only 4 more weeks.....Maybe!

We went in for an ultrasound and doctor appointment yesterday. Everything went well - Annabelle is healthy and everything is great. Her head and her tummy are measuring 2 weeks larger than what they should be AND she's already at 7lb 4oz. Now, I will go ahead & tell you that a normal weight for 36 weeks is 6-6.5lbs because I know all of you out there do not know that. So, she is measuring VERY big for her age.

She refused to show her face, too. She covered up with her arms the entire time. We were allowed to see her nose, her mouth, and one eye lid - but never at the same time. Couldn't see if she had hair neither. SO, that should still be a surprise when she's born. She got the hiccups, opened her eyes a few times, and showed off her cute little toes really well. I could've swore that she smiled at one time, too....BUT she could've just been moving her mouth. What we could see of her - she is gorgeous and chubby. Her cheek looked very pinchable! LOL

I go in next Wednesday for another checkup. The doctor explained that he doesn't do inducements until at least 39weeks on normal cases, but said that he would induce me earlier since she is so big as long as her lungs are developed fully. So, I guess they will check that out and if the lungs are developed, then we can schedule inducement. We may just have a baby here next weekend or something. Time will tell! Maybe the week after next.

I couldn't sleep at all last night - kept dreaming about 7lb 4oz. LOL Plus, I was in alot of pain too. I don't know what was wrong with me but I just hurt all over. The doctor couldn't believe that I was still working full time. I have so much to do before she arrives and not enough time to do it in. But, it will all work out and I'll find the time somehow!

Please keep us in your thoughts & prayers!
