Here's what's going on this week with Whisler Baby Boy 2009: 

Baby Stats:

Size: 21 inches
Weight: 7½ -8 pounds

Baby Developments:

Ok, so we are more than ready, but apparently our little man isn't quite done enjoying the comfy digs Laura's provided him.  The good news is, in general, babies who are born "late" (in the "fourth trimester") weigh more, appear more alert and have more hair than babies born earlier. Some even come out singing. Well, not really, but we wouldn't be surprised.

Our future sumo wrestler now probably weighs between 7½ and 8 pounds and measures about 21 inches long. So not only is the baby late, but he keeps getting bigger, making delivery more challenging, er, I mean exciting.

What We're Doing:

We have our final OB apointment on Monday.  Unless he decides to get moving on his own, we will induce labor on Thursday.  Our parents will both be there as well as numerous friends and coworkers.  We are so thankful for all the support, family and friendships represented.  Facebook will probably be the primary place for status updates, but I will announce his arrival on the blog and include pictures & video.

Here is the last pregnant picture:
