Hi Cara,
You look absolutely adorable prego. I remember those days of not being able to bend over. I used to pick up stuff with my toes!
Grant's room is precious and I know you can hardly wait to hold him.

You really do! The room is just adorable too. LOVE the name Grant. He's going to be soooooo adorable!
I went into preterm labor 5 weeks before my due date with my first guy and they told me he was 5lbs then. The stinker ended up coming late (cause they stopped my contractions with meds)and he ended up being 8lbs 2 oz so I can relate with the fear of Grant being big! He probably will be big so be prepared. However, just a note, I'm 5 foot tall 90lbs soaking wet and hubby is 5feet 8 and 130lbs and we still had a big baby. I was only 6lbs when I was born and he was only 7. God only knows how we produced our big babies! I think it's those darn prenatal vitamins. They make babies grow so big!!!!
Good luck girl! I'm so glad you shared the pics with us. Sounds like you are organized with everything so when you do go into labor you'll be fine! Keep us posted!!!

Grant is my brother's name...my only brother who I love to peices! Here he is  With a beer mustache...
I practically raised him, and it only fits to name my baby after him! His middle name will be Michael - which is Justin's middle name!
Isn't it crazy how different babies can be?? They say that they usually take after their mother's weight at birth - but obviously not all the time!
I'm ready and definately prepared Just finished my birth plan! Yay!

It is definately hard to bend over! And get up when you're lying down....and climb a ton of stairs....etc But it's worth it.

It's so nice to hear because I don't feel like I look great, that's for sure!
I mainly don't want to be induced with pitocin...I have researched it so much and just don't want to go that way unless I have to. I feel like he should be born on his birthday and not when the doctor decides.... but of course, when there is a problem it has to be done. So there's not much I can do but wait and see! (and try my own induction methods!)

The doctor doesn't know how big he'll be I mean...their measurements can be off by 20% also....so you really never know. Even if they were off by 20% in this case though - that's less than a pound, and he'd still be a pretty big baby for this stage! I'd be fine with a 9 pound baby, but don't want to go into double digits!

I remember the doctor telling me that they normally gain 1/2 lb. a week during the last month. Sounds like this baby is doing his growing early!
