Could this have been the last Doctor visit?

We went in for our last ultrasound and our weekly Dr checkup this afternoon. All is well and the baby is measuring ~9 lbs 5oz. The baby continues to be very active, and we even saw it moving during the ultrasound. We got some great glimpses of the face, nose, ears, and hands. Still no answer on the gender-we've waited this long so what's another week or so!

Our Dr is on call on Friday and encouraged us to call in the morning if Amy is having any contractions. The schedule at Piedmont is full for planned c-sections so we're hoping that Amy will show enough signs that we'll be able to go in and have the baby delivered. They won't turn us away if there are some contractions and our Dr will be there to deliver. Otherwise we wait for real labor to start (and have another Dr in the practice deliver) or until the 31st for a planned c-section with our Dr. Based on the baby's position - head is down but still very high-our Dr isn't convinced that Amy will even go into labor before the 31st! So tomorrow we're off to Scalinis a local Italian restaurant that promises to send full term pregnant women into labor with a serving of their eggplant parmesan. Wish us luck!
