This Week's Update

No prego pictures this week, at least not as of now, but do have an update after our ultrasound and OB visit yesterday...

It was great to watch our little guy in action yesterday as he hiccuped, grabbed his toes and opened and closed his mouth to drink.  He's got plenty of hair to make a bald man jealous too!

It looks like his profile is very similar to T, especially his lips.  We'll have to see!!  I'm excited!

He is measuring large and long and holding strong at 7 1/2 pounds as of yesterday.  He's projected to weigh around 10 if he goes to 40 weeks...the plan is still to attempt to induce about 10 days early to keep the weight down a bit.

Final stretch!!  2 weeks from tomorrow is the scheduled induction!!

No progress with dilation (still around 1 cm), but now 75% effaced and he's now fully engaged and down low, ready to go (zero station).  I don't think either T or P was that way at 40 weeks, let alone 36 weeks!

Depending on the circumstances, I plan to jot a quick entry (or have a family member do so) if I go into labor before the 20th to let ya'll know.

Stay tuned for more as it comes...

The final stretch! I remember how much I wanted Kye to be born early. I even went shopping on Black Friday hoping that the walking, etc would cause him to want out of there. People stared at me and said I looked ready to pop and I felt like it too. Hang in there friend! Before you know it that sweet baby will be in your arms.
