Baby Update--36 weeks

Update #5,000,000 :)

Baby's weight: 7 lb. 8 oz.--he is above the 97th percentile in all of his measurements!
Baby's heartbeat: 150s
Mommy's weight gain: 9 lbs.
Mommy's blood pressure: 100/80

Everything looked great yesterday. We had another ultrasound, which is #5 for anyone who's counting, and a biophysical profile (it's like the ultrasound version of the APGAR score that babies get when they're born). It was so crazy, because I could actually see him imitating breathing motions on the screen. The sonographer said sometimes they have to wait 30 minutes or more to see them "breathing," and Ethan had done so in fewer than five minutes.

The doctor said she thinks I may go into labor early, possibly within the next 2-3 weeks. I hope Ethan makes it at least another two weeks just so his lungs are better developed.

And here are some pictures of the finished nursery. Enjoy!

This is Ethan's diaper bag. Very macho, huh? I registered for it just for Dan. :)
