I've emerged from under the annual pile-up that is Youth Sunday. It went amazingly well, despite the fact that the kid who was to sing lead on 3 of 4 songs in the youth praise band decided not to show on Saturday for rehearsal. After 3 hours of rearranging, we managed to find some solutions to get the music to work. Oy. They were incredible. The 3 ladies who delivered the sermon were fantastic, too. I'm so glad it was a service they could be proud of.
Today was my 37 week OB appointment... I'm pretty sure it was the different scale I was weighed on 2 weeks ago that gave such a skewed measurement, because today I was weighed on the scale from most of my visits, and it showed a 2.5 pound LOSS. So there. Total weight gain is about 9 lbs. My blood pressure was good, 120/76. Bertha's heartrate was great, too. And guess what? I'm 2 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced. Although that probably doesn't mean impending labor since I was at least that with Henry for over 2 weeks. My favorite OB, who's 34 weeks pregnant herself, couldn't figure out Bertha's position, so she brought me to the ultrasound room for a very quick peek to double-check that she's head down, and she is. Thank heavens. I think she's going to be loooong, given the way her legs are pushing on me.
So, it's time for you all to share your predictions... Leave your guess for birthday, time, weight, length, and any last guesses at her name (SHUT UP, KATHERINE AND GODMOTHER A) in the comments. The winner will get an awesome prize, for real. And here I am, in a crummy picture, at 37-esque weeks:
