Anyway, back to why you are all here….the little guy. We had an ultrasound on 5/15 that revealed that we truly have a good boy in there….he is turned down and facing my back just like he should be at this point. WOOHOO!!! I was so excited about the news….we had been chatting about it for weeks….I was a very proud, momma. = ) He’s weighing in at approximately 5.9 lbs which keeps us right on track for the 6/16 due date. Doc told us that she’s guessing he’ll be 7.5 lbs when I deliver which is just about perfect! Like I said….goooooood boy. We did get to see his little diaphragm working, too which was very cool. I didn’t know that would even be visible at this point, but there it was. She told us that seeing his diaphragm move is an indicator that he’s still a happy camper in there and that he still had plenty of ‘liquid’ room to enjoy.
Our appointment on 5/22 just confirmed that he’s still content and I have not dilated and there is no effacement. I honestly didn’t expect any at this point, I’m in agreement with the Doc that I’m going to meet the due date and maybe a little beyond...it’s just my gut instinct. I have been having some Braxton Hicks which is a good sign. They’ve been occasional up to this point….we’ll see what this work week brings. I’m still walking the stairs at the office, but it does cause swelling in my ankles….or should I say cankles….and hands. I’ve been drinking lots of water and trying to go ‘feet-up’ whenever I can at home, but it’s definitely progressing. YIKES!!!
My talented and gorgeous aunts threw me a shower Mother's Day weekend. It was absolutely perfect.....oh, and delicious. Here are a few pics from the day. I want to say thank you to both the hosts and guests....you guys are awesome.
Hope everyone is healthy and happy! Talk again soon.
