I can't believe I am saying only 2 weeks left! I am so excited to meet my little man, but we are hoping he waits till Aunt Jenn gets in town. I can definitely tell that he has gotten lower and is putting a lot of pressure on my pelvis. I went to the dr. yesterday morning and got a great checkup. My weight has stayed at 32 lbs and my blood pressure is great. Penn is continuing to grow and his heart rate is perfect.
I am really trying to enjoy my last few weeks before he gets here and not feel like I'm rushing things along. I have had the most enjoyable pregnancy and I know I will miss his little kicks in my belly when he gets here.
We will discuss next week our plan for if Penn doesn't arrive by his due date. My dr. is going to let me decide what I am comfortable with since medically there is no reason to rush things. My thoughts right now are to give him a week after the due date and if he still isn't here, induce labor. In the meantime, I'm just praying things happen naturally. I really want the experience of contractions, laboring and David's face when I tell him it's time to go to the hospital.
Please continue to pray for a healthy and safe delivery so that we may hold this precious baby in our arms and thank God for the gift of life.
Here's the bump at 37 weeks and 3 days
I'm sending him messages that only aunt/nephews can understand telling him to keep himself nice and comfy in there...I HAVE to be there!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like you...I've had the BEST pregnancy! I really hope things happen naturally for us too! The induction for us isn't too early to think that could happen...just a week early. But you're right, their faces when we announce it's time will be priceless!! Praying for you guys and baby Penn!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if he had come since I havent seen you out and about the neighborhood in the last few days. Dont worry...it will all go as God plans...which is always the best way! The longer he is in there, the healthier the baby. Cant wait for ya guys:)
