Baby Ota is getting big!

Had my 36 week appointment today and my doc did another ultrasound.

Baby Ota is already over 7lbs!!! Oh my goodness. But he is healthy and very active according to the doctor. His head is 33cm so if he gets to 35 or bigger then it will have to be a c-section. Hopefully though my doctor is going to watch him closely and if he gets too close (how much closer could he get than 2 cm?!) she will induce after 38 weeks.

We could be looking at a Thanksgiving baby, but technically we're still approximately 4 weeks away from the official due date - December 8th.

My doc said, "well, this baby certainly isn't starving..."

Swelling continues so she's watching that too but otherwise things are looking good.

Stay tuned!

5 weeks to go!

Not much to report - just that we're 5 weeks away from Baby Ota's due date. I'm definitely ready and getting more excited every day. I only have two more days at work and then I will get to spend the last month relaxing and preparing as much as I can.

so let the countdown begin!
