Baby Update

It has been a pretty busy week for me. On Monday I went in for my third ultrasound and a non-stress test. It was amazing to see how big the baby has gotten. The reason I had to go in for another ultrasound is because my doctor thinks he is getting to big. Well after the ultrasound tech got all her measurements she told me that he is already 7lbs. 8oz and in the 73 percentile. I still have a little over two weeks until my due date and he is already a little over 7lbs. I really hope he decides to come soon. After the ultrasound I went for a non-stress test. This was the first time I have ever had to get one and honestly I have no idea why I needed one. His heartbeat was great and he was moving and kicking the whole time. After the test was over I was told I had to come back and get the same test done every Monday and Thursday until the baby was born. Honestly I thought the test was pointless, but I want a healthy baby so I will do whatever they tell me to do. On Wednesday I went to my normal doctor appointment. I was really hoping that this time he would tell me that I have at least dilated a little bit. I was a little surprised when he told me that I am already 2 and half cm dilated because last week I hadn't even been dilated. I am really hoping to go into labor sometime this weekend, but the doctor expects to see me again on Wednesday. Yesterday after my doctor appointment I had a lot of strong contractions, but they were still too far apart. Today I went in for another non-stress test. This time the baby was asleep through most of it and really didn't want to be bothered. The nurse tried moving my belly to get him to move or kick, but it didn't help much he wanted to sleep. So she got this thing that vibrates and makes a buzzing sound to wake up the baby. It was pretty funny cause once she put it on my belly he was all over the place, but within a few mins. he was back asleep so they had to do it again. The test was about 25 mins. long and just when were about done that when he finally decided to kick and move. After my test I had more contractions, but by this afternoon I haven't really had any. Everybody keeps telling me to be patient because once he comes everything is going to change. Honestly I don't know care how much things change I am just sick of being pregnant and want to hold him already.
