The End is in Sight....

Well the Doctors appointment this morning was interesting to say the least. No change of course still 1cm 70% effaced. However we are inducing Tuesday morning. I will go in on Monday to start the whole process. So we definitely will have Jacob here by Tuesday afternoon or sooner. We are very excited. Daniel got a new camera today so we will have plenty of pictures to post when he gets here.

39 Week U/S Photos

So here are the pictures that they gave us on Friday. I know he looks smushy but that is because he doesn't have anymore room and is pushed up against my belly. I am hoping that he will come out soon. I am starting to get a little impatient. I will let you all know as soon as something changes though I promise.

39 Week Appointment

So I am at 39 weeks exactly today and I had a Dr. app. Needless to say it wasn't great. I have made no additional progress. I seem to have stalled at 1cm and 70% effacement. The Dr. did say however that he won't let me go that much longer. If Jacob isn't here by my due date (next Friday) then we can start talking about inductions. The good thing about my app today is that we got an ultrasound. He looks so much like Daniel its scary. They could be the same baby. Jacob is measuring 7lbs 12 ozs, which is why the Dr. won't let me go to far over. He is worried that he will get to big. I will post the pics as soon as I scan them into the computer on Monday unless i'm at L & D. Hope everyone has a good weekend and sorry this is so long.

How big is baby update

So it is down to the final days and I figured I should post this last pic of how big baby has gotten in my belly. I will try to take a picture tonight of the belly so that you will have something to compare it to.

Full Term Today Woo Hoo!!!!!

So today we are officially at full term (37 weeks). I had a Dr.s appointment yesterday and he said that nothing has really changed since last week with the exception of my blood pressure being slightly elevated and the swelling returning. He told me to take it easy and try not to do as much as I have been doing so that my feet can rest. He also told me that they would not stop labor if and when it starts that they would just let me go. So I guess that is a good thing. Anyways hopefully I will have some more news next week. I go back to the Dr. on Thursday. Oh yeah our anniversary is also next week so that is something to look forward to. I will also try to post an updated belly shot when I get a chance to take one. I have been slacking lately.

Doc visit Friday

So I had a Drs. visit on Friday and she said that everything looked good. I am 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced and that Jacob is sitting very low now. (Which explains the brand new stretch marks on my lower belly) She said that he could come now or later that it could really be anytime and no more travel until he gets here. I go to apps. every week now so I will see the last Dr. in the practice on Thurs. then back to my regular Dr. I have been having a few contractions but nothing too major. I will update again later this week on the new status.
