9 Months

How is it December? 36 weeks has officially arrived, which means I'll be going to the doctor every week until delivery. At yesterday's appointment she told me I am 50% effaced and the head is in position -3: exactly the same as I was with Grace at this point of my first pregnancy. Most of my measurements are the same, too, actually - except this baby is bigger than Grace was at 36 weeks as you can see. We'll learn even more next Monday at my 37 week sonogram. Speaking of sonos, Dr. Michel always takes a quick look at the baby because she and I are both amazed every time at how much this kid looks like Grace. Today we concluded that the kids, though two years apart, will look like twins. The resemblence - at least in profile, esp the nose - is incredible. Lastly Dr. Michel made her delivery prediction: I will not be early, unless I have a whopper of a contraction in the next few weeks. I'll be close to my due date and might even make it to January. We're psyched. The more time, the more sleep, the mo' better.
