He is HOW big?!?!

Today we are 39 Weeks + 6 Days Pregnant ~ Only 1 Day to Go! (8 days till the original EDD)

Morning Surprise:
I got a phone call around 1130A from Erik. He rushed through NJ to be able to stop by before I left for the Doctors. So I got about 15 min or so with him :) Made my day!

Baby Update:
I went in to the Doctors today (145P appointment). I was there early (as always). The walk from the parking-lot was nice, the ride on the slightly crowded elevator up to Radiology on the 2nd floor not so much. First words out of the U/S Tech's mouth "you're almost done.. why are you here?". I explained to her that the Doctors were concerned about baby's size. She tells me to lay down on the table etc. Does the exam without a word to me, points out nothing, prints out no pictures. I even asked for a picture she just said that I wouldn't be able to make anything out at this point anyway and left to speak to the supervising Doctor. I was fairly disappointed. She comes back in, hands me gauze to clean the gel gunk off with and says "Okay, have a nice day".
WHAT?! I ask her what are the results. She tells me "OH measuring 40 weeks". I just looked at her for a minuet and then said "yeah but what was his size, his weight?". I swear it was like I was torturing the woman! Finally she informs me that the baby's current estimated weight is 8lbs 15oz.

HE IS HOW BIG?!?! Nearly 9lbs!!!!!

I'm so scared that if Joshua doesn't come on his own really soon they are either going to Induce me (preferable) or force me into a C-section. :(

Baby is still not moving much. In fact I havn't noticed him move in a while at all. I feel like freaking out. I told Erik; he said If something was wrong I'm sure the U/S tech would have seen it. He told me Don't worry baby everything is FINE. I'm not so sure... but if I go into L&D and tell them "oh I have decreased fetal movement" they will probably send me back up for another U/S!! Or just laugh me out the door :(

Our Due date is TOMORROW and so far no baby. I am having a lot of BH contractions (tummy gets really tight & hard like a rock) and pains of various types (in front, in back, down below etc). But nothing more painful or more often or more regular than I've had ALL MONTH! :(



Evening:
We went for a walk as a family (all 5 of us: Mom, Dad, Me, Steph & Mimi). We got barely 3 blocks away before Steph did something stupid. There was a ball in the middle of the street and she decided she HAD to kick it. This led to an impromptu game of soccer between Dad, Steph & Mimi that had me & Mom gasping for air between laughs. Funny Stuff. The ball is kicked onto someones lawn and we start walking again. Not 5 feet later... Mimi walks up to Mom and shows her a handfull of something. Mom goes "why do you have popcorn?!" and hits her hand. Low & Behold it wasn't popcorn; a handful of little plastic babies (from the baby shower I might add) goes flying into the street. We laughed our asses off the entire way home. Dad surprised us with Chocolate Eclair Ice-creams :) Now that is a man who knows how to put a pregnant lady in a good mood LOL!!!!!!
