I am 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant

I thought you all might like to know the exact count of my pregnancy. And, of course, the fact that I am indeed still pregnant.

So, another week has gone by and Baby continues to grow at his gargantuan pace. Some people stop gaining weight at this point in their pregnancy. Nope, not me. I really want to see how far my stomach skin can stretch, and just how many shirts I cannot wear. Pretty soon I will have 3 things I can wear to work, and I will just have to rotate them like a uniform. Oh well.

However, on a positive note, I have found that I am very lucky when I am pregnant. I really wish I would have figured this out earlier, and I would have done more gambling. I ended up making $98 in my office's NCAA bracket pool this time. Last pregnancy, I won 2 raffles at work. It is very odd. Maybe it is just my kids that are lucky.

I am not feeling like I will go into labor anytime soon, but my doctor said that if I am still pregnant by 39 weeks, we can schedule an induction for around my due date. I didn't really want to be induced, but I am very afraid at the size of this child at 41 weeks. I imagine he will be well over 9 lbs by then, but I guess we don't really know. I just see the fear in my doctor's eyes when she looks at me.

So, in the meantime I will try to induce him on my own, starting around 38 weeks. You know, the pineapple, raspberry tea, running stairs, etc. etc. We aren't going to Jake's parents for Easter this year in case I go into labor, so my parents are coming to visit. Maybe I can ask the Easter Bunny to bring me a baby.
