5 Weeks and Counting

Well I've been telling people for a while now that I'm due next month but in all truthfulness I wonder if maybe I will be permanently pregnant. My official due date is April 19th but I really don't plan on going that long. I will do everything in my power to have Ian on or BEFORE April 16th. I don't know what my hurry is we don't even have the crib set up and it's not like I'll be sleeping better once he gets here either. I think part of it has to do with the fact that both of the other boys were each early and have set my expectations that I won't have to carry this baby to my due date. I am measuring 37 cms and since you are supposedly supposed to measure cms equal to the week you are pregnant(I was 34.5 weeks at the time) my health care provider is concerned that I may be having a huge baby. Seriously I don't want a huge baby, big healthy babies are great but he doesn't need to be huge. I think anywhere in the 7lbs range would be idea that way he could fit in the newborn sizes just for a few days at least. We'll just have to wait and see. Your guess could be better than mine so don't forget to participate in the poll.
The following two pics show me first 4 months ago in Mid November and the second shows me this morning before church. As you can tell my belly has grown "just a little".

You look super cute in your prego pics. I think he will be born April 12th (Alivia's bday is May 12th) and be 9 lbs. 4 oz. and 21 inches long. So that's my guess.

I think you look radiant Meg and not too huge at all. I'm so excited for you, I know those last few weeks are the hardest, but they are also the best, the anticipation of meeting the baby is such a thrill. I can't wait for you to hold him in your arms!
