38 Weeks (sigh)

Again I put it off because I had some glimmer of hope that I'd have mister Porter and no one would care at all that I slacked because I'd have cute baby pictures up... well i was wrong but oh well never fear I will be resiliant after I complain just a tiny bit :) 
So I just got back from the doctor's and I was so excited to go I was convinced that I would right away go into labor and i'd be super far along and whoosh the baby would just jump at the opportunity to come into my arms. I'm still almost exactly the same as I was 2-3 weeks ago... boo. Still the same amount of dilation and effacement. She stripped my membranes and guess what?! nothing ;) 
oh well 
Drew and I were able to go to bear lake on tuesday which was soooo much fun! I love bear lake with my whole extended family and while 1 day wasn't near enough time to do everything I wanted to, I'm ok with it because It was a good day, and I did get to see almost everyone I wanted to. Although I tried to pass out thank you cards and It completely failed because people kept not being there or leaving right before I went to find them. blegh. 

So this is going to be a short one because besides that nothing has happened. 
I"m weighing in at 143 ish and wouldn't you know it I asked my doctor for an estimate of how big she thinks Porter is... guess what.....
she said high sevens or low eights... HUGE I mean seriously... I don't really want to have a giant baby. it's not in my desires. but i'll love him the same... after he's out. 

So the length is about the same at around 20 inches and like i said .... baby's gettin bigger (they say he's like a leek but then again that's when they're saying he's 6.8 lbs... i'll put up the picture anyways to hold up tradition)
Basically nothing is changing besides the fact that his body is ready to come in the world and he's breathing that fluid lots and lots so he's pretty prepared. Personally Porter gets the hiccups at least once a day :) 
it's cute. 
besides that as you can imagine he's just cramped as ever so every movement is hard but it doesn't mean he stops trying :)
here's a leek
