37 week dr appointment

At my dr's appointment today, the dr said I hadn't made any changes from last week (still about 1 to 1 1/2 cm dialated and 50% effaced), but that everything looked good. 

Then we got to have another sonogram.  We haven't had one since 20 weeks, so this was very exciting.  The baby actually looks like a baby now, not an alien!  We got to see Baby Lake sucking and moving all around.  The ultrasound tech called our baby crazy!  We got to see the spine, femur, head, and belly, among other things.  Crazy to think in a few weeks we will be holding that baby in our arms!  Measurements estimated the due date all over the place, but she did say the baby was approximately 7 lbs 6 oz (give or take a pound) which is at the 69th percentile.  The baby had a heart rate of 140 bpm which she said was awesome and the amniotic fluid level was wonderful.  She said the baby was head down with it's body on the right side of my stomach and it's arms and legs on the left.    Everything is looking good for a healthy baby, which is what we continue to pray for.
