Thank you! Well the ultrasound went well. She's healthy, she's practicing breathing (they saw her chest rising and falling) and the doctor there thinks 37 weeks will be "good enough". I will really have to adjust to the idea of having her in 7 weeks instead of 10, but we'll see what my regular doctors say about it. I'm 30 weeks and they are guessing she is 4 pounds 2 ounces. They gain about 1/2 a pound a week during the last month, so she might end up bigger than my boys. Hopefully not. I don't want to be induced, so hopefully I will be already dilated like I was with my last one and contracting like crazy. Then I think breaking my water might work. With my 3rd son, I was 3cm the last month and contracting all day. When they were going to induce me, they said I was already contracting, so let's just break my water. The idea of having her at 37 weeks is appealing though because that would be the week before school starts and it might make getting my kids back on schedule a little easier that way, plus they'll get lots of initial time with their sister.
