I am 37 weeks today! YEAH!!! That means less than 3 weeks to go! Today when I weighed at the doctor's office I had gained 1 pound since last week. I am up to 151 pounds now. I am happy with that weight...especially since Clint is taking me for icecream whenever I want!!! I'm taking all I can get right now since I know I don't have much longer to take advantage of this. :) My stomach measured 38 sonometers (???). I asked the doctor if this was the normal size, and he said that it is normally 34-35 at this point. So that is why he thinks Summer is a big baby. I am 1.5 centimeters dilated and 30% effaced. So, that is better than last week. He also said the baby has dropped a little (-2 vertex ???). I go back next Tuesday, and at that time he will know if/when he will induce me. He said he is on call next weekend, so it will probably be then. That means I may be having Summer on May 6 or 7. I would prefer not to have her on May 5 since that is a holiday -- Cinco de Mayo. She will probably choose that day to come though since I have said that. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
I washed my car today hoping that might bring on labor, but so far I'm not having any contractions...at least I don't think I am. I'm still not sure what they feel like. Sometimes I have pain in my abdomen, but I'm never sure if it is Braxton-Hicks or just a pulled muscle. I would say it is more than likely Braxton-Hicks because I haven't been overdoing it with exercising (at least not in my opinion). Well, I guess that is about it. If I get induced, only about 10 days to go.........

Wow! You must be so excited! I wish I had an exact date to look forward to. It seems like it would be easier to get through that way. Well, good luck and let us know if something happens.
