Wasn't my due date October 25th?

Week 40...October 25th was our due date and it has officially come and gone with no baby to be seen. We've received so many phone calls from people checking in on us and Baby Blu (thank you for thinking of us!), so I thought I would post a quick update.

We have no baby action so far! We went to the doctor on Tuesday and Baby Blu still isn't making his preparations to join us. So...yesterday we went and had a BioPhysical Profile done of him. It is done via ultrasound and is commonly done when you are past your due date. The doctor just wants to check that the baby is happy to stay where he is for a few more days. The baby is given a score based on things they do during the ultrasound; movements, breathing, etc. He scored a perfect 8/8 (we are so proud already!) and is looking really good. They confirmed he is in position for birth (this is a good thing as there had been speculation he might be breech for a short time) and they also reconfirmed his sex (boy/blue/baseball themed room can stay!). Based on his measurements right now they estimate him to be about 8lb, but that can vary within a 1/2 lb either way. I'll venture to guess he's going to be on the bigger side of that, no Fromhold/Blubaum is small! Another funny, for those of you that know Shawn, you know we like to laugh about the size of his lips. Well...turns out baby is definitely Shawn's son! During the ultrasound baby was puckering up his lips, playing with his tongue and showing off his lips...big, just like daddy's! So funny!

We got new video from his ultrasound and also some new pics (which I'll post later today once I get them scanned).

So...the update is baby is happy right now. We go back to the doctor on Monday and if I'm still not making progress we'll talk about my induction date (most likely 11/1).

My family arrives today and I know they are just as anxious for baby to arrive as we are. We will hope the next post on the blog is all about Baby Blu's arrival!!
