It's Not Delhi Belly, Weeks 36 - 38

The waiting game has officially begun. To be honest, I think both Lindsay and I thought that Little Luth would have made an appearance by now, but we find ourselves just waiting. We've been on a one to two times per week diet of doctors visits. We're both really happy with the practice we selected; however, one of the "down" sides is that as we see various doctors at various points, they each seem to have slightly different approaches. Just before 36 weeks we had an ultrasound that pointed toward the baby being ahead of schedule from a size perspective (it was measuring as if it were 39 weeks). Based on those measurements the doctor emphatically stated, that one way or the other, the baby would arrive before the due date.

The planner and professional in Lindsay instantly started peppering the doctor with questions (all of which were permutations that asked the much more direct question, "when is this baby arriving?" She's done this with each of the doctors we've seen since. On Friday, the doctor (who was on the more conservative spectrum) said, "The only prediction I'm going to give you is the due date, and I can confidently say I'm correct 5% of the time."

And so we wait.

And so we continue to take weekly photographs of the always lovely and beautiful (and increasingly more pregnant) Lindsay Luth.
