Over 39 Weeks and VERY Ready!

I went to the doctor today and had no progress again. Grrrr! The doctor seemed pretty confident that I would not have him by my due date. I believe his words were "Well, it looks like I am good to go on my trip this weekend." Ugh! Then he continued to say. "Oh, what's a few more days of being pregnant?" Does he want to carry an extra 30-40 pounds around in 110 degree heat, have charlie horses, and tingling fingers, and waddle around just a few days more? Oh men! Because I was a little disappointed when we left the doctor (plus, I had only gained 1 more pound this time, whoo!,) my sweet hubby took me to get ice cream at Dairy Queen on our way home. :)

The doctor did an ultrasound to check his weight and fluid level. He said he is guessing that he weighs about 7 pounds 10 ounces right now so by next week he will weigh a little over 8 pounds. So he decided to induce us next Wednesday night and have him some time on Thursday, the 13th (sorry, Uncle Tim, but looks like Ronan is going to be a birthday stealer.) I am really not up to waiting a whole lot longer because I do not want to be birthing a 9-10 pound baby and the doctor agreed. Ouchie! :)

So since there was no progress, I guess I should just relax until then. Ryan and I will probably find some fun things to do this weekend to enjoy our last days as just the two of us. Who knows maybe I can find some more nesting to do. :)

Since I have no pictures to post of my own baby yet, here is a picture of me with baby Hunter when we went to visit them this past weekend in Waco. I was hoping Hunter would be able to bring on some labor for me, but no such luck.

Me with Hunter. A glimpse of what's to come. :)

Uncle Ryan....awww. :)
