chocolate cake in a cup, and a baby coming up

First of all for the chocolate cake in a cup:
They taught us how to do this last night at Enrichment Meeting. It works best in a wide mug that will hold about 12 - 16 oz.
4 T. flour
4T. sugar
2 T. baking cocoa
1 egg
3 T milk
3 T oil
a few drops of vanilla
handful of chocolate chips
Directions:
Spray cup with pam. Add dry ingredients to mug mix well. Add egg mix thoroughly. Pour milk and oil and mix well. Set mug in microwave and cook for 2.5 minutes. Cake will rise over the top of mug so watch carefully and don't over do it. It's delicious chocolate cake from scratch in less than 5 minutes!

Baby on the way:
So I went for another ultrasound today (I have them every two weeks). The baby's kidney's at the last ultrasound were 20mm (right) and 25 (mm) left. Today only two weeks later they were 37mm (right) and 42(mm) left. The good news was that the amniotic fluid levels were normal, which means they kidneys are functioning. I couldn't believe they had grown so much in so little time! The doctor that was in the maternal fetal medicine area today said that she was worried with how fast the kidney's had grown in the last two weeks, she left and spoke with some other doctors. When she returned she said it looks like we need to deliver you at 36 weeks (1 1/2 weeks away) or at the very latest 37 weeks. I would like to make it to 36 weeks, but we'll have to see what will be best for our little Joshua. Most of all I really don't want to have a c-section. So I hope that when I'm induced things go smoothly.
