It's just about time to leave for the hospital. Inducing starts this evening at 8. Writing blog entries takes a while so I'm planning on providing updates mainly through FriendFeed and Twitter. I am on both of those services as "bryanlabutta". You can use the links below to go directly to my profile on each.

He's Not Born Yet, But He Sure Is Photogenic
Well, today is our due date. 40 weeks. 280 days. Alas, still no baby. But we did get to spend some quality time in the hospital today where they did an ultrasound to check the level of amniotic fluid (it's at 10.9, which is apparently good) and they did a stress test to make sure the baby's heartbeat is OK (it is supposed to be between 110 and 160. He was right around 135-140, which is perfect).
The best part of the day, though, was the ultrasound. Our ultrasound nurse was awesome and took some great pics of the baby including some 3D pics, which she wasn't even supposed to take! I've posted the three best pics below. He sure looks like he is ready to go!
He's looking right into the camera!
His Alfred Hitchcock pose
An awesome shot of his face!

Yes, I Still Have a Smile on My Face
39 Weeks! Wow. The hubby and I just went back through our photo album to see how much I've grown since The Bump first appeared back around 14 weeks or so. I remember thinking that I was so big back then! I loved to wear cute tops and dresses to show off The Bump, not realizing that no one could probably tell I was even pregnant - I was unfortunate enough to look like I just ate too much Italian for dinner. Now, those same cute tops are barely covering my lower belly and you can't mistake The Bump for anything other than what it is!
The doctor told us at 38 weeks that The Bump contained a 7.5 pounder, so we are expecting a big little guy. Still, I'm feeling very comfortable and have been able to stay somewhat active. Which is a good thing since I am nowhere close to giving birth; in fact, the doctor already scheduled my induction for a week from Monday. It's nice to know that at the latest, we'll get to meet our little guy in 10 days!
