Well here is Baby Wallace. This will probably be our last ultrasound. My doctor gave me two choices: 1--stick with the original plan, be induced on the 17th and have an ultrasound and non-stress test or 2--get induced on the 14th. So we're thinking of having the baby in seven days on the 14th! The baby measured 6lbs. 11 oz. yesterday. His or her score was perfect. My cervix seems to be ready so the countdown is really on and this is our last weekend just the two of us. Please keep us in your prayers.
Dates and numbers:
There are 28 days until my due date on January 06, 2008.
I am 252 days pregnant.
I am 8.3 months pregnant.
I am in my 9th month of pregnancy. (huh?)
My 1st trimester: March 31, 2007 to June 29, 2007. (0 - 12 weeks)
My 2nd trimester: June 30, 2007 to October 12, 2007. (13 - 27 weeks)
My 3rd trimester: October 13, 2007 to January 05, 2008. (28 - 40 weeks)
By this week of pregnancy my baby's crown-to-rump length reaches about 13.5 inches and the total length is approximately 20.7 inches. My baby weighs about 6 pounds now. The top of my uterus has moved further up under my ribs and is about 5.5 inches above my bellybutton. My uterus has grown a lot in the past few weeks as my baby has gained weight. I may have gained about 30 pounds by now and it is common for my weight to stay about the same from this point onwards.There are 28 days until my due date on January 06, 2008.

Almost full-grown baby at about 36 weeks pregnancy. Because the top of the uterus is high as it will be, breathing may be getting very uncomfortable at times. I might notice jabbing pains from my baby's kicks. However, within the next few weeks, my baby will drop into the birth canal and this will make breathing easier again. Most doctors like to see their patients weekly from now on to check for labour progression. (One more weeks!)
My baby's face has filled out significantly and looks smooth and plump. Because my baby has powerful sucking muscles and has had layers of fat forming for quite some time now, the cheeks have filled out like a newborn's. My baby's skull is firm, but not hard. Every baby's head has the ability to give slightly so that there is room for him/her to fit down the birth canal during delivery. Some babies are born with cone shaped heads from the pressure of delivery, but this will go away after delivery. The amount of amniotic fluid is at its maximum amount now and ymy baby may not be moving as much as s/he had been. The placenta is now one-sixth of the fetal weight.

Wow, that's coming up soon! How exciting!
LOL--Linaya was only 6lbs 11 oz at 41 weeks!
Yay! The 14th sounds good to me, too! :)
Are they giving you/baby??? steroids for the lungs? (or how does that work?)
This next week will seem to take forever, but when it is over it will seem like it has gone by in a blink of the eyes.
I am a bit surprised that you will go in 3 days earlier. But I guess it doesn't make much differences.
Of course we want a call from you, or John or Angela or Brian or your mom or whoever is able to make a call.
Now, from the 14th to the 16th we are in Leipzig. Andrew will give you the phone number.
After the 16th we will be in Chemnitz, of course there is another phone number. And there is also a cell phone number. ;)
I am sure someone will call us at some time. And if not, we will give you a call on Christmas. That is the 25th for you of course. *g*
yehaw from the Texans! We'll be there in a jiffy. I am so excited.
