3 weeks left

I'm officially "term" now, meaning if the baby was born today (37 weeks) he'd have a 99% chance of surviving. I like that number. My doctor appointment yesterday went well. Although I almost panicked when my doctor couldn't find the heartbeat. Apparently the little guy had shifted and we were trying to listen to his shoulder. No heart in there. Baby's head is still down and the heartbeat sounded good. 

Two people at my work commented that they thought I had dropped this week. This had me a bit concerned because I really want to make it September before I have my baby. Turns out I have dropped a tiny bit, nothing to get excited about though. I'm not dilated at all at this point. 

This was also the first week in a REALLY long time that my weight stayed the same. I know some of you are thinking that is weird, but at this point in the pregnancy the baby is gaining about an ounce a day and at the same time I'm losing some amniotic fluid so it evens out. 

Well, that is all I have for now. I need to wash some more baby clothes and finish packing my hospital bag.
