Baby Colleen happy, but still inside

I had an ultrasound, a non-stress test and a doctor visit today. The ultrasound showed Colleen happily playing with her feet and curled up with her head down. They estimated she weighs 8 pounds! Yikes! Other than that, everything looked good.
The non-stress test consisted of me being hooked up to a monitor which measured her heartbeat and my contractions. She had tons of movements in the 20 minute period (all they need is two and she had more than 20!) and I had no contractions.
After meeting with the doctor, we set up a date for inducing - Wednesday at 7am. So unless I go into labor before then which my nurse said she didn't think would happen or the hospital is too crowded with natural births, I will hopefully deliver Colleen on the 30th.

Due day!


Today is baby Colleen's due date and so far, she hasn't decided to come out.  We're keeping our fingers crossed, but I go to the doctor tomorrow and we'll see about inducing then.  In the meantime, here are a few pictures of me when pregnant.
