That just says it all.....it's the baby's estimated weight right now. The due date is still just over a week away! I can't believe that! He is going to be big! I hope that it isn't too tough a labor for Ruby. Man, I really can't believe this news that we got at our weekly doctor visit. I mean, I would have never thought that he would be this big a baby. Ruby is still a pretty high canidate for a C-Section though. They are going to let us give it a shot naturally at first, but if the labor is going to be a tough one, then they will switch to the C-Section. I am sure that they can change to that at the drop of a hat. Still, the doctor wants us to do what we can to get this labor started soon. If the baby comes on his expected due date, it can easily gain another half pound! We don't want that for Ruby, so you can definitely see the doctor's point, right?!

It's weird to think that this life changing experience can go down any day now, and at any time now. We are just playing the waiting game, but this is going to be some kind of experience, that is for sure. I have said all along, and even more so recently, this is probably the most nervous that I have been throughout this pregnancy. I mean, just not knowing exactly when he is going to make his way into this world. It just that it is so unexpected. I would hate to be stuck in traffic, or worse yet...at work (yuck!)....man, can you imagine the drive home from work, knowing that it is time?! I am sure that it won't be the longest drive I have ever endured, right!? LOL! Well...only time will tell.

I don't really know if I realize the change ahead for me. I mean, I do....but do I really?! I have no real basis on what is going to happen, you know?! One can't really prepare for something like this...I mean, REALLY prepare for this...can you??! In my mind, you can't. You can't really know what to expect until you are in the situation. At least, that is just my perpective on things. It's a little surreal. I dont' know if that is the right word for me to use or not, but it's just weird knowing that this is just around the corner. Not it a bad way either, just different. I guess that it is kind of hard to put into words. Well, getting tired and I know that Ruby is too...gotta to, can't wait to see what the next "blog" will bring news of.....
