Waiting for Baby

Waiting out the last couple of weeks is really challenging. I'm full of mixed emotion, mostly that I want this baby out but I'm nervous about how painful it will be do that and what will life be like once it is out. I hear the first 6 weeks are the hardest to get through and that sounds like a long time but we'll make it through. For now, I've just hit week 39 and we have 6 days to have a baby otherwise I'm scheduled to be induced on our due date (4/10) because my doctor doesn't want the baby to get much bigger. If you watch this video you'll hear the doctor say his estimate for our baby's current weight is 7 and 3/4 lbs - which is 7 lbs and 12 oz. A baby grows a 1/2 lb each week so it will be over 8lbs on 4/10. Big baby! Or just healthy baby, which is all I've ever wanted. Keep you posted...fingers crossed here!
