Just a quick check in...
Feeling massively huge, but that aside everything is going really well. Kat moves really vigorously almost all day long, and you can actually see my whole belly jump sometimes when she really gets going (quite the entertainment in our house right now! LOL)
According to the last appointment she's only measuring a little bit big, but they are planning to induce me at least 1 week early, if not more depending on how she's doing and how I'm holding up. As good as that might sound, we really want to try to keep her in there as long as possible so her lungs develop as much as they can before her world debut. My mom is thrilled that they'll be inducing me, because that means she knows when the baby is coming and can be here for the birth. (She was really upset that she was going to miss out on that, being so far away)
It basically means for her what it means for Tim's folks, come hang out with me all you want during the waiting period, but when the labor starts getting serious- to the waiting room with you! I worry so much about other people (what they're doing, if they're okay, grossed out, whatever) that if I had a bunch of extra family members in there, I'd have trouble focusing (or feel guilty for ignoring them). It's easier for me that way, and luckily no one minds. Tim will be in there with me, of course. But I've requested no interns, students, or curious unnecessary staff either. One of those things I'm really firm about, I'm a private person- and as much as this is an anticipated moment, I'd like to keep it just between Tim and I as much as possible.
That also means no cameras during the interesting parts... so there will be no video shot of "The Birth of Kat" though Tim's dad said he may take some before and after footage, which I don't mind at all. I have always maintained a strict policy to keep my lady bits off film in any form, and I consider this falling under that particular rule! Luckily, again, everyone involved thinks this is great, so I haven't had to yell at any aspiring directors like some of my other pregnant friends! Perhaps they're all just going along with whatever I say because they fear the pregzilla beast... hmmm.... either way, I'm getting my way with no fuss at all! :o)

I remember every twinch that might be water breaking or too steady contractions would send me into fits of extreme stress, until that magical moment of 37 weeks, then I prayed for them!!!! :) All is well!!
