Read the below post "SGA" if you haven't done so yet... (wrote it this morning.)
I received a call from my doctor shortly after blogging this morning... she went through the verbal results she had received from the other doctor (ultrasound measurements) and said that the baby had actually lost a bit of weight since the last measurements we did - and was in fact below the 10th percentile. She told me that if my body was ready, she wanted to take the baby on MONDAY... if things aren't quite ready, she might wait 1-2 more days. But she said I am not to go back to work anymore, get some rest this weekend and prepare for a baby next week.
So... WOW. This changed our weekend plans a bit - we are both just trying to prepare mentally for what is about to happen - we could have a new baby this Monday. So my parents are going to head over tomorrow (at least it made that part of the logistics go easier: to be able to plan their 5 1/2 hour trip over here.)
So now we are just trying to get all the little things wrapped up and ready.
Will keep you posted...
FYI, here is a chart for averages (green line is 10th precentile...) I am at 37 weeks today.
Jill, Steph and I are sending good thoughts and prayers your way!

Wow! You sure know how to wait a long time for babies and then all of a sudden have them!! At least this time doesn't involve sitting in an airport all night! Praying it goes well for you!
