Update

So I had my 36 week appointment today! Whoo hooo! It's such a great countdown, these weekly appointments! And I had a really great appointment, I loved the Dr I met with (they are rotating me through so I can at least meet them in case they are on call when I deliver). So I go in and it turns out that I am not necessarily measuring BIG, but just farther along. They measured me and I'm measuring like I'm 38 weeks instead of 36. But the dr says the baby is measuring around 6 1/2 maybe 7 lbs at the top end, which means if I still go full term she still won't be much bigger than Kai was, at 8lb 13oz. She also said they wouldn't induce me any earlier than 39 weeks anyway, so there's no point at this point in getting an ultrasound. Which was actually really good news because the less I have to pay for the better! So I'm really pleased, she said I'm effaced about 40-50% and dilated to barely a 1. So it's all good news!! I have actually been feeling a little better the past few days, I think Christmas was just a lot and was making me feel worse than I actually do! So the past week of rest has been good for me and I'm doing good! Getting excited about having a little girl....freaking out about having a baby again!

You'll do great! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see her- wonder what she'll look like, how much hair she'll have, all that good stuff! Woohoo! And girls are THE BEST! I know from experience :)
