About 2 weeks (or less) to go!

Wow, just two weeks left until my due date (the doctor is still going with Dec. 18, though all three sonograms have said Dec. 24-25). And only three weeks until Christmas!

My uterus has been measuring large since the end of November, but I have no other signs of a large baby or gestational diabetes; my weight is on track (actually, a little under, which is good), and my last sonogram was normal. I don't have excess fluid, either. Not sure what's going on, but if I am still measuring big like this at my next appointment, the doctor may decide to induce me pretty soon. He doesn't want the baby to be so big that I have to have a C-section, especially because of the vertical scar I already have on my abdomen--another incision might cause it to tear, or it could cause complications later. I have an appointment this Wednesday, so I guess we'll see what he says then.

Meanwhile, I'm finishing up Christmas gifts and sorting through baby clothes! :-)
