37 weeks- full term here I come!

"Your baby is officially baked this week! That means you could literally give birth at any given moment. A terrifying, exciting and overwhelming concept, all rolled into one.  If you were to go into labor today, all systems would be a go. At this point babies vary in size, but the average length is between 19 and 20 inches and most babies weigh approximately 6 pounds. "


Wow! time flies by when you're (sort of) having fun. Can you believe that our little girl could decide to make her grand debut any day now? i had a check-up today and the dr. "checked" me. I wasnt expecting anything, but she said i'm about 1 cm dilated. Ok, to many of you this is nothing, and I also know that you can be 1, 2, 3 even 4 cm dilated for weeks before going into labor. I am not planning on this little girl coming in the next week or two. But with Jackson I didnt dilate one itty-bitty bit. On my induction day at 41 weeks, i was still closed up tight. So this is just giving me hope that maybe i can go into labor on my own this time.

Anyone got any guesses of what day she'll actually arrive? How big she'll be? etc?

I had a dream the other night that i had a boy ( i am terrified of this- not because i wouldnt love him, but everything we have is pink now!), but anyway, he was 6lbs 10 oz. Just saying. I'd love to hear some guesses.
