I need to get better at keeping this blog updated... I know it hasn't been that long but I want to document this pregnancy and it is going to be over before I know it and haven't been very good about weekly updates like I wanted! And I have REALLY been slacking on belly pictures, I can't remember the last time I took one! It is really funny all the different remarks you get from people when you are pregnant... Its like everyone has something to say and some of them you wonder if they really understand that you are hormonal and some of the stuff they say rubs you the wrong way?? I had one guy I work with come up and tell me how fat I am getting and how he feels SO sorry for me because I look completely miserable!! Really??? I mean, I know I am pregnant so I am gaining some weight but FAT?? And I actually feel REALLY good or at least I thought I did, maybe I don't look how I feel? Haha. Besides being tired, I am actually really enjoying this... People keep asking me if I am ready for it to be over with and I have very mixed emotions about that. Part of me loves having this little guy kicking and flipping and whatever else he is doing in there and the other part of me can't wait to hold him in my arms and watch him grow. Its a bittersweet feeling because I am so excited to meet him but love being pregnant and this will probably be the last time I experience this so I want to cherish every last second of it - BUT after my ultrasound yesterday a bigger part of me is hoping he comes a few weeks early... I will explain more later on that. :)
We are getting ready for our annual family reunion at my dad's cabin this weekend - love this time of year! A whole weekend filled with good food, family, and getting away! The cabin is only 5 min from town but it feels like a completely different world when you are there. I am working half day and then running to Harley Davidson with the hubby to get my dad a Father's Day present. Then we will head out to the cabin.
Yesterday I had my 34 week appt and they did an ultrasound for a growth scan since the last one they did the baby was measuring big.... I was hoping I would go in this time and they would tell me the great news that he had slowed down..... No such luck! Aly - my favorite u/s tech was running over my belly initially showing us that the head was down, then went along the spine to show where he curled up, over his cute little butt (by the way its def a boy! :)) to his cute little toes that were pressed up against his forehead. Poor little guy looked so cramped in there!! Haha. Then she started measuring - to find the baby's weight they measure the head, waist, & top leg bone - and she starts laughing.... I look up at the screen and in the corner it says the wk/day that corresponds with the measurement - she is measuring the head and it says 38w4d....... NOT a good sign!! So then she goes to the belly and leg and flips to another screen that tells what the weight estimate is.....Are you ready for this??? I wasn't!! 5lb14oz! She remeasured the waist and got 5lb9oz better but not really... I have 6 weeks left. Can you say total panic mode??? That was me! I read on my baby bump app on my phone the baby should weigh 4.25lb right now! And will gain 1/2 lb each week the next 4 weeks. Aly tried to get some cute pics of the baby for me but he was so crammed in there and had feet and hands over his face so she couldn't get any really good ones. She did see LOTS of hair! And a chubby cheek...
So, as I am sitting here trying to hold back my tears from absolute panic I sit and wait for the doctor to come in... Have I mentioned, I totally LOVE my doctor! She is so sweet! She is totally not concerned with the size the ultrasound is showing. She said the head is the only thing measuring big and since the u/s measurements are taking 3 2d measurements and computing them into a 3d measurement they aren't competely accurate. And he could just have a slightly bigger head and that can throw it all off. She doesn't think this baby will be much bigger than Jayden was - I was hoping for a little smaller but as long as he is healthy.... She is going to do another u/s at 38 weeks to see where we are at on size, part of me is hoping I dont make it to that u/s.... Haha.
