36 Week Appointment

We had our last sonogram on Monday. The baby is around 6 lbs 3 oz. Measurements were a little small (measuring just a couple of days behind the due date) which is not concerning at this stage. However the weight was in the 60th percentile. So it seems we have a small but solid baby on the way. The doctor is guessing the baby will be around 8 pounds at birth. Nothing is happening yet but I will be having weekly check-ups from this point forward. The doctor told me that neither cervix was dilated which is interesting. She thinks there is a chance that both of them may dilate even though one of them does not serve a purpose in this pregnancy. It has to do with the hormones. The baby is still in a head-down position which is the correct position for birth. He/she has changed from facing my left side to facing my right side. Generally the best position for birth is to face my back so we'll see if the baby decides to cooperate when the time comes. Not much else is going on at the moment. We still need to pack our hospital bags, order a glider, and clean up a few things but it sounds like there is sufficient time to get that all done. Still no boy name but I guess we will decide that at the hospital if we need to.
