I was 38 weeks on Saturday, so officially I don't have any longer than, oh...four weeks left in this pregnancy :-) I assume the doctors will not let me go any longer than 2 weeks past my due date!
Here is how things are going: I have definitely hit the 'end of pregnancy' stage. Baxter has dropped down some, and is making his mommy rather achy and sore. I have some nights where I sleep marvelously (usually thanks to Benadryl!) and others where I cannot get comfortable at all. My weight gain is still minimal, and my belly is measuring "small" again. However, an ultrasound from last week estimates B's size to be 6 lbs, 14 oz, so there is nothing wrong with him! My blood pressure is still beautiful--today it was 120/70ish, B's heartbeat is good, and I have slowly started the dilation/effacement process. It could be tomorrow...it could be three weeks!
To help build anticipation, I have created a little online game/poll that allows you to guess the baby's gender, weight, length and birthday. You automatically get some points for knowing the gender! Please follow the link below and play along, and once Baxter arrives, I will post who was the closest. Sorry, you cannot place actual bets on my baby:-)

i think you (not that you really have any control) should keep a theme with having children on the 21...that is why it got my vote..plus it is sooner! I can't wait to meet the little guy.
