My computer is back so I can start doing my weekly updates again!
Like it says in the pic, our man is measuring ahead of the curve... the 67th percentile. He is about 3.9lbs & 3 days ahead of schedule. Once I get to 32 weeks, I will have a weekly appointment at my OB's office. Every week I will do a NST {non-stress test} & an amniotic fluid ultrasound. Then, every other week, I'll also meet with my doctor to discuss my progress. While I'm not thrilled about weekly appointments... at least I'll get to see a glimpse of our baby each time thanks to the amniotic u/s. I will also continue the full growth u/s, one at the end of August & one at the end of September {if he hasn't made an appearance yet.} It's going to be tough to manage a schedule for the next 10 weeks!
My doctor also informed me that I will not go much past my due date because of my medical history... hello induction. That makes me incredibly nervous. I've always heard how painful induction can be because it is not the natural way your body wants to labor. I know things happen but I have always just wanted to wake up one morning to my water breaking & rushing off to the hospital, like in the movies. Guess there really isn't a plan for this...it's outta my control!
July 25th was my work baby shower, honestly, all of these women are incredible & thoughtful. Most of them know of our conception/pregnancy struggles. They're so kind & genuinely care about how I am doing & have become a huge part of my daily support group! I'm very lucky to be a part of such a great group!
It was at Don Pablos & it was perfect. There were about 20 ladies there and tons of presents. Baby C was definitely spoiled! We got a lot of cute clothes and some bigger items like our monitor, diaper bag & the pack n'play our little guy will be spending so much time in.
