37 Weeks= Full Term



ok, 32.8 lbs later, I'm considered full term! Little Man still continues to linger in my rib cage, & Sean points out that I breathe heavy. I had been feeling more twinges yesterday & really had my first food craving for a toasted sandwhich & a brownie. After Quiznos & two stops to find a good brownie with a flaky top v/s icing later, I was super smiley & looking forward to my Tuesday morning Doc. Apointment.
It didn't start off the best when my card they gave me said 18th, but their computer read 25th. They were able to squeeze me in without much extra wait. To my disappointment, still not effaced or dilated. In fact, he asked me if I had had any late ultrasounds, which I knew right away he was concerned about something. Turns out, I'm measuring 4 weeks low again & he wants to send me for another ultrasound to make sure everything is ok. He's wants to check on baby growth, amniotic fluid levels, & his kidneys. Since I just had this done ~ 3 weeks ago & the baby measurents & kidneys all looked good, I'm not overly concerned, but not 100% at ease either. I'll also be starting NST (non stress tests) twice a week as well from here forward. Anything shows up they're not comfy with, I'll be induced. Otherwise, waiting on natural cue's he's ready to enter the world! (He might be hearing our weather reports & choosing to stay in a bit longer! lol.)
