Camino Real

Now my pregnancy is considered full term.  What awaits ahead is the ticking clock in the coming 3 weeks before my due day on Sept 21.

Did not gain any weight during the past 2 weeks.  Partially because my stomach is pressed by the enlarging uterus, and partially becuase PP has not been around and my appetite is lost somehow.

I guess my weight gain will probably stay at 25 pounds in total.  My OB said it is normal for the weight gain to slow down or even drop after 36 weeks, so there is no need to worry.  He estimated that the baby will be around 7 pounds upon delivery.  I asked him if my husband's being a big baby at 9 pounds is an factor?  To this the doc replied that the weight of the baby has much more to do with the size of the mother rather than of the father.

At the end of my routine check he said, "You will have an easy delivery!"

Wonderful to hear it!
