5 more weeks
I am so close to the finish line! Starting next week I will begin my weekly OB appointments. I hope that makes the last month go by quick. I am still up in the air about an induction. I would love it if Henry came on his own so I could experience 100% natural childbirth. Even with the induction I do not plan on having any pain medication. I do however know that a labor lasting hours and hours and hours might change my mind. If he comes quickly like Wyatt did I know I can handle the pain.
Last week I saw my doctor. We did a quick ultrasound. Henry is still head down, strong heartbeat, and the doctor said he looks good. My blood pressure is still really good and my urine looked good. I gained a couple pounds which brings my total weight gain so far to a little over 40 pounds (yikes!). I gained 40 with Wyatt so I am not surprised. I love food and food loves me, especially during pregnancy! But I have a goal to lose the weight and I know I will. The doctor also measured my uterus and I am measuring about a week ahead. That doesn't mean much but it could mean that Henry is growing just a little bit faster.

So anyway, I caved and finally took another belly picture. This picture was taken at 34 weeks and 4 days pregnant.

I'm due next month!
It is August 1st today and I can officially say, "I'm due next month!"
I am now 33 weeks pregnant and feeling VERY pregnant. I had an appointment with OB last week and everything looked good. My blood pressure was still on the low side which has been normal for me my entire pregnancy. Henry's heartbeat was perfect and he is measuring about a week ahead of schedule at this point. According to my baby book; babies at 33 weeks are usually between 4 and a 4.5 pounds. Henry is very active during the day and the night. I am not feeling those really strong kicks as much, probably because he is runinng out of space, but I can feel him move a lot. He gets the hiccups a lot too, just like Wyatt did.
During my appointment last week my doctor and I talked a bit about induction. If my cervix is favorable she will induce me the week before I'm due. I am still up in the air about it. But the more uncomfortable I get the more I am seriously considering induction.
On July 5th I had a 4D ultrasound done which was very exciting. I have an anterior placenta so it was difficult to get good/clear pictures of the baby but the tech was determined to get some decent pictures and after almost a half an hour we were able to get a couple shots. From what I could see it looks like Henry has the same dimple in his chin that Wyatt and Matt both have. Everyone keeps telling me that Henry looks like Wyatt when he was a baby. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I am nearing the finish line, 4 weeks until I'm full term, 7 weeks until my due date, and 6 weeks left if I go with the induction (unless of course Henry decides to come earlier but I doubt that will happen).
