Just wanted to give you ladies a quick update, might be my last before the baby gets here (I'm hoping!). I'm in my 37th week, the baby is head down and in position, so really we're just waiting for him or her to decide it's go time! My Mom is on vacation in Texas until Tuesday taking some ''me time'' before the baby comes and she will be around during the day to help me out around the house when Marc is at work. I've been told to keep this baby in until at least then (this is her first grandchild and she doesn't want to miss anything!) so anytime after Tuesday, I'm so ready to meet this baby! My GD has gotten better over the past few weeks and my doc said that's a sign the placenta is getting tired and almost done doing its job since it's releasing less hormones resisiting the insulin, so that is a sign that the baby might be ready to come early! YAY! I hope she's right because if not, I will be induced on April 7th and I'm really trying to avoid an induction. She said the week before she will try stripping my membranes to help my waters break by themselves to try to bring on labor without meds, so we'll have a week after that to wait it out and see if anything happens before they try inducing me. At this point, I'm preparing for the worst just in case, but obviously I'm also hoping for the best. As long as the end result is a happy and healthy mommy and baby, we'll make due with whatever situation we are faced with when the time comes.

I'm still getting ultrasounds done every week to check my fluid levels and everything looks great everytime...I just can't wait any longer to finally meet him/her! I'm getting sick of being so huge and not being able to bend over, sleep, etc. anymore (even though I swore when TTC I'd never complain if I could just get pregnant...I still do once in a while, until I remind myself how blessed I really am).

Here's the last pic I took this past wed at 36 weeks...I hope the baby doesn't plan to put on a lot more weight because I think I might blow up soon...or at least that's how it feels!

Take care ladies! I still stalk you gals all the time and I'm still praying you each get your little miracles...and soon!
