Update on the baby front

With just under two weeks until EDD (Expected Date of Delivery), thought some of you might want an update.

I had an appt earlier today and not surprisingly, she's still measuring big. Her head is measuring the size of a 42 weeker (she's only 38 weeks and 1 day)...yikes! Then, as the doctor was measuring her femur he said, "She's got some LONG legs...wonder where she gets that?!?!" Like mother, like daugther :) Baby girl G, you'll appreciate those long legs as you get older.

Tomorrow we go for a growth scan to see just how big she really is. Unless she's already a monstrous size, the plan is to let her come when she's ready (and neither my dr nor my mom think that will be happening anytime before October 8th). So in the meantime, I'm bringing home some of the bacon and using the last few weeks to get ready. I'm making plans with friends, walking lots and of course climbing countless stairs (who needs a stairmaster when you've got a 5th floor walk-up and a daily subway commute that involves lots of stairs that you pretty much have to run up to keep from getting trampled in the rush hour crowds?)

I'll post a 38 week picture tonight and hopefully an ultrasound picture tomorrow.
