37 Week Prenatal Checkup

Today, I am *officially* 37 weeks pregnant, which means that Lex is a full term baby!

I visited my doctor this morning, and she confirmed my belief that Lex is now head down and engaged in my pelvis.

She suggested that I make an appointment to see her in the office next Thursday, just in case, but she doesn't think I'll make it that long. She thinks that Lex will be born within a week, but probably not this weekend.

She also guessed that he will be between 7 lbs and 7 lbs 2 oz at birth, which is slightly smaller than Connor was. Connor was 7 lbs 8.5 oz at birth.

I can't wait to see what he looks like! I keep imagining him as looking just like Connor, but he will probably look at least a little different.

I just told J this morning that I have the feeling he'll be making his arrival next week--gosh, he could easily be sharing a bday with my little one 9/22:)

You'll be amazed when he's born--I remember when my second came along,when I first looked at her, thinking, "oh, she looks EXACTLY like her sis"--of course she doesn't and never did:) she didn't even have hair:)

My best to you for a quick and comfortable delivery--and healthy mom and baby!!! Enjoy and cherish the moments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
