Update from Dr Appt this morning

Again, nothing exciting! She said that everything looks normal and for me to come back in 2 weeks (July 8th) unless something major changes. Normally they have people start coming every week now but since it takes an hour and 15 mins to get there, they are going to keep me on 2 weeks for now. I asked about being induced and she said that "the baby needs to cook until at least 38 weeks". So I asked if that meant that we could be induced at 38 weeks and she said she we would see at my next appt. So we for sure have 5 weeks until our due date but possibly could have Jake in about 3 weeks instead. At this point, 3 weeks seems like FOREVER and 5 weeks doesn't sound fair AT ALL!!

40 days to go!! Hopefully less

I'm now to the point of being UNCOMFORTABLE!! Until now, I never understood why Roxie wanted to figure out a way to make herself go into labor. Bending over in the shower this morning was almost impossible. I had to turn the water on only cold because I was about to hyperventilate and I felt like Jake was coming out of my throat. I asked Jacob to shave my legs for me and he thought I was joking. So... I guess my legs are going to look like a mans by the time this kid gets here.

Then I had the bright idea that I needed to repaint my toe nails. Lets just say, Trace could have done a WAY better job than I did!

And my bladder has decided to start getting me ready for when Jake is here. I'm having to get up every couple of hours during the night to use the restroom. Just hopping out of bed doesn't happen either! It looks like a beach whale suck on shore trying to roll around to make it back to the water. Good thing Jacob is a hard sleeper and it's dark in the room or he might be scared by the beast in bed with him.

BUT, only 40 days left and hopefully we won't have to wait that long! It will all be worth it when we see his cute face.

Update from Dr Appt yesterday

Well it sounds like we are going to have a BIG baby boy. She said that he weighs about 5 lbs. 8 ozs. already and she guesses he will be at least an 8 lb baby. Not really surprising since Jacob weighed 9 something when he was born. But she measured his head and it shows to be the size of a baby at 35 wks and 5 days. That's almost 3 weeks more than we are!! His head better quit growing or a C-Section is sounding better and better! We got some good 4d video clips of him on the DVD that she gave us so I downloaded some on youtube.com for yall to view. He looks like he is a CHUNK but cute like his MOM. :)

26 Week Bump Compared to 31 Week Bump!

I'm just now getting to the point that bending over to put on shoes or pick things up off the floor are getting VERY hard to do. So I feel like I'm getting huge but comparing these pics from 26 weeks and 31 weeks, it doesn't look that different.

1. Pic with Jacob is at 26 weeks

2. Second pic is from this past weekend at 31 weeks

Indigestion, Indigestion and MORE Indigestion!!!

If it's true that if you have indigestion while you are pregnant your baby will have lots of hair, then I MUST be having a GORILLA instead of a baby!! This is the worst part of my pregnancy by far up to this point. If I'm not waking up in the middle of the night to go use the restroom then it's because of indigestion. Only about 8 more weeks so I guess I can tough it out for a little bit longer. Not that I really have a choice!

Our next doctors appt is next Wednesday, June 10th and we will have our 4d ultrasound to see what he looks like. Maybe they will be able to tell me if he has lots of hair!!
