3 weeks left...

well, we got another ultrasound for estimated weight today - 7 lbs and the ultrasound tech said that they normally overestimate by about a half pound, so she's really more like 6.5-7 lbs - so i'm totally ok with that b/c i've been scared of having a big baby b/c nick's side of the family has gigantic babies. she's got a full head of hair too, which they could see in the ultrasound, that was awesome. i'm still not dilated at all, but dr. stack said that next visit we can go on and schedule the induction and just hope i go on my own before then - i'm not waiting past my due date, not with this swelling. this whole time i've been pregnant and swollen people have asked me if my feet/ankles/legs/etc hurt and they haven't... until now - the past week or so i've been hurting constantly in my legs from the knees down. so it's good that it's right at the end of the pregnancy, i can handle it - but i'm not handling it any longer than i have to - so if little poo hasn't shown her cute self by march 9, then i'm getting induced. and if i'm induced, then i will probably (but not definately) just get an epidural b/c i've heard the contractions are much worse when induced. we'll see though.
