Great News!

I can't believe I've let so much time pass since my last update! I've had lots of good news since my last post and failed to share it with everyone. First of all, we found out that the cysts on the baby's brain were never there to begin with. A normal part of the brain was misdiagnosed by the sonographer as being choroid plexus cysts. We were so relieved! Also, we just found out today that the baby finally flipped and is positioned perfectly for birth! We were starting to worry that the doctor would have to manually flip him.

Today I am 37 weeks and 4 days, meaning that I just have a little over 2 weeks until my due date! A combination of excitement to meet out baby and becoming more and more uncomfortable is making me ready to give birth beyond belief! I suppose it could happen any day now at this point, but I have a feeling that I will make it all the way to my due date of July 9th. My doctor will allow elective induction, so I'm thinking that I will decide to induce labor on or around my due date if I haven't gone into labor by then.

We had an ultrasound today to see the position of the baby, so we got a new picture. Also, the sonographer estimated that baby Porter weighs around 6 lbs, 6 oz. That means that he will be a little over 7 lbs when born. I'm very excited that he will be well within the range of normal, but on the small side! Here's today's picture... doesn't he look a little angry? I think he's ready to get out of there!
