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! :-)

The Purpose of This Blog

1. To have a place to organize, sort, and share my random thoughts. 

2. To offer the following:

• bits of wisdom gleaned from others or learned through experience;
• opinions and information about various topics that interest me;
• recipes, tips, tricks, and interesting experiences (and experiments) in the kitchen.
• entertainment enough to hopefully make someone smile every now and again.

3. To record significant and (seemingly) insignificant events in my life. 

4. To satisfy my own need to express my feelings through writing.
