Belly Pics

{September 13th}

I've been horrible about documenting this pregnancy but I've at least kept up with progressing belly pics.

I had a pretty uneventful 2nd trimester and 3rd as well, for the most part.

Baby boy has been super active and gets hiccups often.

I've really enjoyed my new OB and we are very ready to meet this new babe!

I am currently 38 weeks and sooo done being pregnant!

I think things really started going downhill around 36 weeks and now its getting worse by the day, ha!

I am just so big and all my muscles and ligaments are really achey.  My feet and hands are swollen now and I can only wear about 4 things.  Even most of my maternity shirts are starting to get to small.

At my 36 week appointment they did an ultrasound to guess baby's size and check his position.  

Good news is that he is head down.  Bad news is that he was measuring 8 lb 4 oz at 36 weeks!

Since I only passed my 28 week glucose test by 1 point, he mentioned that he wanted me to do the 3 hr glucose test and he was suspicious of gestational diabetes.  Luckily they decided it wasn't worth it since I was already so far along and it wouldn't change much at this point.

Plus, I had to remind him that I just make big babies and this wasn't totally out of the norm.

I know ultrasound measurements can be off, so now we are really curious on how big he will be!

Our guess is close to 9 lbs!

I was measuring 2 cm dilated at my 37 week appointment and thought for sure he'd come last week, but nope!

Luckily my mom got into town and has been a HUGE help with the boys and with cooking and cleaning.

Especially since I also caught the boys' head cold they got from starting school.

I went in for my 38 week appt. this morning and was measuring 4 cm dilated so I'm really hoping any day now!

I have contractions off and on all day long but knowing my luck, he's feeling cozy and wants to stay put.

I have an induction scheduled for Monday the 19th (39 weeks) so if nothing else, at least I only have 1 more week.

Hurry up little man!!!!
