36 1/2 Week Appointment

So, it looks like Brad and I are still right on target for Christmas Day. I am not dilating yet (doc says nearly there) but Jaxson is head down for sure. She ultrasounded him today and he was very proud of his bottom and his foot. He stuck both of them out at the doctor just for good measure. =) Everything is looking great....my blood pressure is still down and my weight gain is right on target for the recommended average. I have been retaining a little extra fluid but the doctor said that is normal at this point. I finally took off my wedding rings. Now I look like a knocked up 15 year old...great. =) Brad and I are getting excited. The doctor took a guess at his weight and she is predicting in the mid 7 pound range. She said that my stomach is small but that he is all baby and just has no where to go which is why he sticks out so far. We are scheduled for Lamaze this coming weekend...maybe I will let Brad bring his Nintendo DS to keep him entertained for 5 hours....who am I kidding??
