We had another doctors appointment this afternoon (currently at 35 weeks and 2 days). They finally did an ultrasound (it seems like we have been waiting forever) and he is currently at 6 lbs 2 ounces, she thinks that he will be 8 lbs when I deliver. His body measurements were in the 58 percentile and his head was measuring in the 98 percentile. Basically everything is measuring where she would like it to be at this time but he has a big head. Which came as no surprise to us considering big heads run in the family. Other than that I am still dilated to a 1+ (or however they say it) and 70% effaced.
She also gave me the ok that I can go back to work. So tomorrow work begins -not sure how I feel about it at this point considering we have been running around town all day and I am completely exhausted but we'll hope for the best (although the 3 hours of sleep I was able to get last night I am sure did not help). Oh and I have decided that since they tell you to count how many times you feel them move in an hour it would be easier for me to count how many times he is not moving because he is constantly moving -thus making it very easy for me to sleep (sense the sarcasm). But hey, at least I know that he is there!

YEA!!! I am so glad that you know more now about what is going on, and you're not going to give birth to a 15 lb. baby:-) Work will make things go so much faster, I can't believe how close you are getting. You look awesome, how do you do it without swollen face, anything? Can't wait to see this little big headed guy. (Thomas' head has always been in the 80 + percentile. It gives us freedom to quote from "So I Married An Axe Murderer" more.)
