We've made it! We have now reached the full-term mark of this pregnancy! This pregnancy has really flown by! I can't believe how close we are to meeting our new little guy. I have been horrible about taking belly pictures this time so enjoy this one. :) Wow, I'm big!
I saw the midwife today and she said everything looks great. My blood pressure was awesome and I have gained a total of 19 lbs. (I actually lost 2 lbs this week, thanks to the 24 hour stomach bug I had on Friday). He is measuring right at 37 weeks and he is constantly dancing and rolling over in my belly. Lindsey (my midwife) did tell me that I tested positive this time for beta strep so I will have to have antibiotics at delivery. She also checked and I am 1 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and he is in the -2 position. While this isn't much, it is some progress! Owen came 2 weeks early so if his brother follows the same route, we could meet him in a week or so.. so crazy!
Please pray for us as we go into this transition to a family of 4. Pray for Owen, that he would adjust to having a little baby in the house. Pray that he would quickly learn patience and have the ability to share his mommy and daddy . :) Also that he would be gentle with his brother.....no biting, pulling, or hitting. Pray for all of us, that we would be able to sleep a lot in these next few weeks in hope of storing up some extra hours. Pray most of all for a healthy and safe delivery...pray that Oliver would be healthy and strong upon his arrival into the world.
Thanks friends.....we look forward to sharing the exciting news with you very shortly!
