37 WEEKS...FULL TERM!

I have made it to 37 weeks, yay!!  However, this does not mean I am ready to go into labor.  At this point, knowing I am going to have a c section I would just prefer to avoid the pain of all of those contractions all together.  I am sorry Holland and Tracy I know you cannot stand it and I ready for these babies to be here, but I am hoping we can hold out until Wednesday and avoid all of the caos.  And know that Dr. Kouri is going to be the one to do the very scary surgery.  (I know it is not really scary, but the unknown is scary to me.)  Below is what Baby Center says about 37 weeks:

"Your baby is now considered "full term," even though your due date is three weeks away. If you go into labor now, his lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb. (Some babies need a bit more time, though. So if you're planning to have a repeat c-section, for example, your practitioner will schedule it for no earlier than 39 weeks unless there's a medical reason to intervene earlier.)


Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long."
