12 days to go! 37 Weeks!

Only a little while longer and I will be finished with these posts!! Bare with me!!!


37 Weeks!
(It was actually nice out yesterday!)

Here I am in all my knocked up glory!
*How far along?: 37 weeks!

*Total weight gain?: 21 lbs

*How big is baby?: 6-7 pounds maybe?

*Sex: BOY!

*Maternity clothes: yep! Unless its sweat pants, then the old ones work just fine!

*Stretch marks: Nope!

*Sleep: whats that?

*Best moment this week: Talking about induction with my Dr. More about that later...

*Movement: I think he is trying to bust out of my belly Reneesme style like in Breaking Dawn

*Food cravings: Cherry Coke

*Labor signs: soft and dilated (Thought about entering a "thats what she said" joke here, just not so sure about it!)

*Belly button in or out: out and still using the bandaid to disguise it!

*What I miss: moving without piercing cramps, my old jeans, being comfortable, working out (its just not in the cards these days)

*What I'm looking forward to: My possible induction!

So for those that are going to ask questions about getting induced, here is the lowdown.

I had an appt on Monday and my Dr was once again pleasantly surprised at my early progression for this being my first pregnancy. We talked about when Keating could possibly make his appearance, and he said he didnt think I would be making it until my due date of Feb 22. He guessed I would at least make it until next week if I took it easy.

I hopped off of the table, ditched the nasty paper gown and was on my way out of the door when he called me into his office. He said "You know, Ive been thinking and how do you feel about inducing on the 17th?"
I picked my jaw up off of the floor and asked him why he would want to induce.
He said that since I had already progressed a good bit, that induction would be a nice way to schedule the birth IF I hadnt had him on my own by then.

We decided that I would come in again on the 8th to check the progress and make the decision of whether to wait it out or whether to put it on the calendar.

Either way.... I will have a baby by Feb 17th! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So much to do, so little time!

  13. Holy crap that is so soon! I hope he comes before you have to get induced though (but after the 8th of course haha)... I've heard contractions are 20 times worse than letting nature take its course!
