Still Pregnant!!
Well I am still pregnant and I am in my 38Th week this week. We went to the doctor this morning and there hasn't been much change from last weeks visit. Still dilated to a 1 but Emery has dropped so that is good news. We go back to the doctor on Monday, Dec 28Th to check me again and see if she will induce me that week sometime. I am trying to stay optimistic but it is getting harder, I just cant imagine being pregnant for two more weeks or possibly more, I am ready for her to be here. I am ready to see her and hold her and kiss her! I am also ready to not be swollen like a balloon but I know that she is worth it and she has to come out eventually! Please pray that Emery makes her grand entrance soon:) For her mommy's sake!!!

37 Weeks and Doc Update
"Now baby weighs almost 6.5 pounds and her total length is about 21 inches long. But she hasn't stopped growing yet; she'll continue to develop about a half ounce of fat a day. Still, overall growth does slow from here on out. That's fortunate since there is very little available space left in the womb.
Here are a few final developments taking place in week 37:
Immune system. It continues to strengthen and will continue to get stronger after birth yet will not be completely functional until early adulthood.
Dexterity. Your baby can now grasp with her fingers as dexterity improves."
I went to the doctor this morning and every thing still looks good. My Strep B test came back negative so that is great news. I am 75% effaced and dilated to a 1. She was very surprised I had thinned out so much from last time. Emery still hasn't dropped yet, but that can happen at anytime including right before she comes, so there is nothing to worry about. My next appointment is Dec 21st at 10:00, hopefully we will have a lot more progress by than:) Please pray that we do!!

Nothing really happening yet!
I went to the doctor today for my weekly visits. From here on out she will be checking me to see if I am making any progress. She checked me and I am thinning out but I am not dilated yet. She said that we will talk about being induced in my 39Th week as long as I have thinned out all the way. I go back to the doctor to repeat all of this on Monday, Dec 14Th! She is measuring Emery to weight 6 lbs this week. She is growing!

36 Weeks
"Your baby now weighs around 6 pounds and is 20.7 inches long.
Your baby works hard to accumulate all the fat she can in preparation for delivery. Her body grows rounder every day, since about 15% of her total weight is now made up of fat. Once she’s born this fat layer will help her maintain her body temperature and give her a reliable energy source.
Developments this week:
Organs. Development of major organs, such as the kidneys and liver, is complete.
Lungs. Some fine-tuning, such as the final development of the lungs, still takes place inside the womb.
Head. Your baby's head is round, but by the time she makes it through the birth canal it may be temporarily misshapen as powerful contractions compress the soft bones of the skull. Her head shape will return to normal within a few days."

Doc Update
We went to the doctor on Wednesday and everything looked good. She measured Miss Emery and she is weighing in at 51/2 pounds, or at least that is what she is guessing. She told me that I am on track to have an 8 pound baby, but I am praying that she isn't going to weigh that much, but we will see. As long as she is healthy, it really doesn't matter. Casey came with me and he got his Swine Flu shot, so we are both vaccinated. I am hoping that we don't have sick visitors to the hospital when she finally gets here! I go back to the doc Tuesday, December 8Th for my 36 week visit. She is supposed to check to see if I am having any activity, so I will keep you guys (all 3 of you) posted! Haha!
