Time is flying by so fast. It is even getting hard to keep up with these weekly posts. But I know how special and important they are. I cannot wait until you are older when we can go through the book of all of this and look back. By then you will be playing sports and having friends. Talking and Walking. I cannot imagine.
This week was a bit stressful for us. We had your regular doctor appointment and unfortunately your Mom’s blood pressure is back up AND you are now measuring 4cm over instead of 3cm. I think you are just going to be one massive baby but the doctors say you feel normal size. But just to be safe they sent us for some more tests. We went for an ultra sound, which I was pretty nervous for and went alone to this one. It went great, other than your Mom being a clumsy girl lately. I some how managed to trip up, yes up, some cement stairs on the way into the office. I cut up my hands and leg a bit but all I cared about was that you were okay. I felt like I was on a t.v show. I was all alone, 35 weeks pregnant, in a parking garage. I could have cried. But I wiped myself off and kept going. I thought for sure my blood pressure was going to to sky rocket now, BUT it all looked great. Not high at all. I must have been stressing about something the day before. So we headed in for our ultra sound. Any chance to see you again is a bonus to me but I was still nervous for what they had to say. Everything was looking great. Your head isn’t huge yet like your Dad and you are perfectly healthy. And then…I got dizzy. What is up today? It was just not my day. Apparently when I lay on my back for long periods of time, this pregnant, you end up laying on one of my important veins that can cause me to feel sick and dizzy. Thank goodness we had a great tech that rolled me over and made me feel instantly better, so we carried on. I got to see your little face again, oh and of course made sure you were still a boy and you weren’t shy so YES you are still a boy (hahah). But guess what? We thought you had Dad’s little little lips….NOPE you have my full round lips. They looked adorable even the tech was gushing over them. You look pretty cozy and happy and absolutely adorable in there. Sorry but you need to come out soon.
So we headed into the doctors office, where of course I got nervous again. He came in with a big smile on his face to tell me everything is absolutely great. Other than the fact that we are all pretty sure you are going to make your appearance a little early, it all looked awesome. I am measuring 40 weeks when I’m only 35. You weigh between 6-7 pounds and your heartbeat was 140bmp. Everything was so great. I couldn’t have been happier.
That’s all the excitement we had. A normal day for us consists of
Breathing, Waddling, Crying (over everything), Shopping, Organizing, Sleeping, and playing together. We are busy together that is for sure. I am getting more and more uncomfortable and more and more big with every day. I honestly did not think I could get any bigger. Every morning I get u I throw off the blankets and expect my belly to just be gone or smaller or something. Nope, it is always still there and even bigger. I wonder how big I will be by the end. Although after the doctor appointment, he said any day you could come so maybe the end is more near than we think.
We shall see!!!
