This morning I had my 35 week check up. And since my mom and dad are in town, I invited my mom to come with me. It wasn’t one of those ‘big’ appointments but I still liked having her with me. Things are going good so far – I’m at 35 weeks but still measuring 33 weeks…which honestly I’m a bit okay with…AS LONG AS HE’S HEALTHY!!! At the last ultrasound they made an estimated guess on his birth weight if he was going to go full term… 8 lbs 8 oz. Ouch…that number just hurts, but I know it’s really not THAT big. I mean, I was 10 lbs 8 oz. – BIG BIG. But, if he’s measuring a little small…and is healthy…then that’s okay with me.
Dr Young asked if I wanted to schedule an induction date – I really don’t think I need one but I figured why not – especially since Dr Young says that it’s best to schedule it early so the dates don’t fill up. SO, TO BE NICE TO MY HUBBY – I scheduled it for 2 (Yes, only TWO) days before my due date to shoot for Steve’s wish of an 8/9/10 birthday. (You’re welcome sweetie!) I sure hope I go before then but just in case, I’ll help Steve get his wish. LOL Love you sweetie!! (Dr Young doesn’t think I’ll make it to the induction date…I sure hope he’s right!!!!)
On another note – Pat & Alec (Steve’s parents) found us a dresser – Alec is going to reinforce the insides of the drawers but other than that it looks pretty good. So I’m excited to get it home and put the baby’s clothes away. Now we just need to finish the room – getting the office stuff sorted, getting the crib up, the dresser and clothes put away, etc.
Next – I need to pack a hospital bag (yep – still haven’t done it yet), buy diapers and wipes, etc.
