Baby Update
Today I'm 39 weeks and still no baby :-( Last week we found out they think he's pretty small (possibly 5 1/2 lbs)..which would put him less than the 10th percentile when born. We'll see how big he is when he's born..so we got to have another ultrasound and until then we have to go in for non-stress tests to monitor the baby every few days. If he's not born by the 18th (he's due the 19th) they will induce me as my MD doesn't want me going over my due date since he's so small. I know it seems like they should leave him in as long as possible, but if he has interuterine growth failure he may not be getting what he needs from the placenta. So far he still looks really healthy so thats the main priority. Other than that we're getting settled at my parents house for now. I'm still looking for my camera cord to get new pictures uploaded! Hopefully it'll surface soon or I'll buy a new one.

Good luck Kristen! I know how you're feeling. I have my ultrasound tomorrow to check the placenta too, hopefully it's fine because I don't want to be induced and last week she was 5lbs 13oz, so I think she's probably bigger now. We'll see. I'll be thinking about you next week, maybe he'll make an early appearance. I thought this 2nd child thing was supposed to be faster!
will continue checking to see baby's progress. So glad you made it safe - and will pray for a healthy baby boy to make his appearance soon. melissa
