It's been a while

So we are currently at 37 weeks. Sprout could come any day now. We still haven't decided on a name yet. Despite our attempts at settling this matter, the list we have continues to grow. I think that when we see him we will have a better idea of what we will call him.

My belly button has finally popped about a week ago. I am just waiting for it to activate. We have had the 20 week ultrasound, which showed a 2 vessel umbilical cord, then an ultrasound in Nevada at Burning Man where he was Frank Breech. We found this amusing to no end. His little feet were over his head, and he was very active.

Since the anatomy scan ultrasound at 20 weeks showed a 2 vessel cord, my doctor ordered another scan at 32-34 weeks. We did it at 33 weeks and she said everything still looks great. Amniotic fluid is fine, and his size was about 5lbs. 1oz (I hear these estimations can be off by more than a pound.)

I am currently in the weekly office visit stage, where the monotony just makes me anxious. I have been progressing as I should. It seems my body actually knows what to do. It's always a relief to hear that things are going well. I am, as my Dr. said at the appointment,"1 Cm dilated and thinned." I was assured this is appropriate progress, and she is optimistic that I won't make it past my due date. Now it is just a waiting game. Tick Tick Tick.
