Maternity Pics @ 37 Weeks

Doc Update

So, we went to the doctor today for the 38 week appt and were disappointed to find that NOTHING has changed! I'm still sitting at 1cm and she hasn't dropped at all. HOWEVER, the doc did measure me and seems to think that this is a "good-sized" baby and has ordered an ultrasound for the 24th. There are now several options: If the baby is at 9lbs. she is going to do a c-section the 25th. If the baby is "normal" weight and there still isn't any additional dilation, the c-section will be set for the 30th. The baby is still so high that even if she were to induce today, nothing would happen. She thinks it has to do with my body type; maybe the long torso, who knows. If she weighs less than 9lbs and my dilation HAS increased, she's going to let me continue on and see what happens; but promised that she wouldn't let me go longer than 1 week past the due date...SO MANY SCENARIOS! I do like having some idea of what is going on; nervous about the surgery though.

My profile shot by the lovely girls at work. Whoa! Off to my 38 Week appt tomorrow afternoon. We're VERY anxious to see what she has to say! Maybe another ultrasound too?!

Charleston Shower 36 1/2 weeks

This was during a day of shopping with the Moms in town. We had a little lunch at Red Lobster, and then off to the outlet mall! I swear people were staring at me...probably thought my water was going to break at any moment.



This is from my Charleston shower that Miss Lauren threw for me :) (THANK YOU)! Tony came home toward the end of it after a great day of golf in Myrtle Beach. Man it must be hard being an expecting Dad. (Just kidding babe ;)

36 Week Appt.

I went to the doc last Friday and found out that I'm dilating! Woo Hoo! I'm only at 1/2 a centimeter, but certainly making progress. I typically go every Friday, but this coming week it'll be Wednesday due to the doc being on-call. We are all taking bets on when she'll arrive, so hopefully Wednesday we'll find out even more! I got my strep test back too and it was negative. Another thing I don't have to worry about. That makes me smile :)
