Aubrey Elizabeth Bunner: Week 38 Update

First let me say Aubrey did not make an entrance on Saturday for Jamie's birthday as he had hoped! But, we went to the doctor yesterday and I have dilated just a smidge more....I am 1 1/2 cm now. The doctor performed a procedure called "sweeping the membranes" that can sometimes put women into labor. I have had much harder contractions overnight, but not anything regular. Aubrey's heart rate was in the 130's and she was very active! Now that I am off from work I will have to walk alot to see if I can get things going! If little Miss Aubrey is not here by next week the doctor is scheduling an induction for Tues. or Wednesday....!!! Yeah! WoooHooo! Very exciting stuff! Will let you know.... So now it's the hurry up and wait game!

A BIG THANK YOU to Jamie's coworkers who got together and had a suprise shower for him last week! They gave us some wonderful gifts! It was such a nice suprise! I have included some pics below.

Here's what's going on this week: Aubrey has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. Wondering what color her eyes will be? If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. I have brown and Jamie has Hazel so who knows......
