37 Weeks

Yay...tomorrow we will be full term...37 weeks! At our doctors appointment yesterday morning the doctor said that if we went into labor he would not try to stop it, that they baby would be developed enough.

Everything checked out great. Blood pressure is good, no swelling or abnormalities. They said I did not gain anything since last time, but last time they weighed me with my 2lb. boots on and said I gained five lbs. By my calculations I gained 2-3 last time and 1-2 this time, which is 29lbs. overall. Yikes that sounds like a lot, but it is in the normal range of 25-35lbs.

We also had an ultrasound this time and confirmed that she is indeed a girl! Her heartbeat is steady between 145-150. Even though it is not completely accurate they said she is about 6. 1 lbs. Last time he said she would be about 8lbs when she was born. This time they said she would be smaller...like around 7 lbs. Basically, we will have to just wait and see when she comes out:) Tyler was 7 lbs. 13oz. and was born on his due date. We will see what this little lady decides to do! April 11th of course is guesstimate in my opinion, she could come tomorrow or five weeks from now. We are in that weird waiting period and it is a roller coaster...one day I feel good and ready and the next exhausted, like that day can not come soon enough. It is definitely harder this time around with a toddler that is a ball of energy. I try to wear him out everyday before he wears me out. He usually wins:)

He is so active! He loves riding his plasma car and balance bike, playing soccer and basketball, throwing a tennis ball, and jumping off things. His most recent accomplishment is that he went poopoo on the potty:) We are not pushing him to potty train, just letting him tell us when he is ready. He has made some progress. He will go peepee in the potty whenever we ask him too. He is very independent and does not want to be told what to do, so we are not pushing it. I am sure this attribute will be a great part of his character someday! In regard to his communication he loves to say, "Sure" in response to a question.
