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.
