3-17 D-Day appt

STILL 1 cm dilated...and our little one has not been as active as he has been, so we had a non-stress test done to make sure everything was OK. I was admitted to labor and delivery (!) and was wired to a contraction monitor and a heartbeat thing for me and him. We got to listen to his heartbeat for about 30 minutes and of course, because something was sitting on him, he moved around like normal! And to ice the cake, we got to SEE him, they did an ultrasound to check his fluid and he is perfect! He is nice and big and beautiful and it is such a relief to see and hear him doing so well. So, everything is great. We are so thankful that it all checked out okay. We couldn't be happier.

In case you hadn't heard, I am being induced on 3-23, Tuesday night. Let's hope it doesn't get to this, but if it does, at least there is an end in sight! Yeah for making it to 40+ weeks pregnant!

Clock's on the field

Still no further progress but it looks like she's dropped since earlier this morning. We're anxiously waiting and as ready as we can be. We can't wait to meet him.

aunt pippy

Hello everyone...just a note that Angela, AKA Aunt Pippy, made it here safely on Friday. After driving as fast as the speed of sound, she beat the Nor'easter that has been making our weekend super soggy. The little one is moving around quite a bit, but he is still making no movement to exit me. We are patiently waiting...if not going a wee bit crazy! I never thought I would be pregnant for this long!!!

3-10 appt

Still 1 cm dilated....while I am making no progress, our little sweetheart is packing on the pounds! The doctor thinks he is now 8-8.5 lbs!!! The bigger he gets the more freaked out I am getting about getting him out of me. Aunt Pippy is driving tomorrow to visit for a little while....be safe sister, there is a Nor'easter a brewin'!

wednesday appt

Our baby boy's head is still down, I don't think he could turn around at this point, and he is about 7-7.5 lbs. I am 70% effaced and 1cm dilated! We are getting there, slowly but surely. He has also moved down so I am not carrying him so high anymore. Only 2 more weeks to go!

belly shot

I thought that since nothing new was going on I would add some photos that we had taken in the past few weeks...here is me, around 36.5 weeks.

crib

Here is a photo of his crib and bedding....we LOVE his bedding!!! His crib is all ready to go! And yes, that is a COLTS mobile, from Aunt Pippy and Uncle Craig-a-leg.
