Last monthly checkup

Today was my last monthly checkup for Keiran's pregnancy. I am 25wks 2days and at the longest we are looking at 14wks til induction. I did learn my doctor can't do an induction on the weekends so it will be pushed to the Tuesday after. That would be May 22nd. May 21st is my step daughter's birthday and I don't want to take that day away from her. So if Keiran doesn't come on his own, May 22nd is the date!!

All my vitals were perfect. Bp was spot on, textbook. I've lost another 4lbs making a grand total of 29lbs I've lost this pregnancy, not gaining an ounce. With Hayden's pregnancy I gained 32lbs. So I'm doing really well. Keiran is measuring spot on, to the date. Heart rate was perfect, amniotic fluid was perfect. Everything looked great, except my placenta. *cue heart sinking to stomach feeling* My Dr is concerned with the way my placenta is sitting. I don't have placentia previa but its close. Now, I have two options, one being go with induction on May 22nd with a normal vaginal delivery and pray things go accordingly....or..... Go with a scheduled c-section. My fear along with my doctors is that if we end up requiring a c-section, my placenta is so low that there is a chance he could slice it open when opening me up. With that there is a risk of severe bleeding since the placenta is a huge blood supply to the baby so naturally, he would have tm act fast to control the bleeding. Of course these are all "what if" scenarios but that's what I love about my doctor. He's very direct, to the point and explores all options. Love love him!!!

My prayer is to have a natural, uncomplicated delivery vaginally and my son to be healthy without any stress to him. I know whatever happen, the man upstairs will guide us every step of the way and keep us safe.

Today after my appt, we went by my grandparent's house to visit and to my surprise, my granny finished Keiran's quilt. Absolutely beautiful and almost had me on tears. From there we stopped at Hobby Lobby and scored a killer deal on two stools for Hayden and Keiran and got the rest of the supplies to finish the caterpillar lantern project. And as perfect timing would have it, the lanterns were sitting in our mailbox when we got home. You better believe I jumped on the opportunity and completed the fun project. :)

Now all that's left to do in Keiran's adoreably perfect nursery, is paint the three adoreable shelves we got on clearance at Hobby Lobby, hang the shelves, pickup the custom window valance my Granny is working on sms hang it, wait for Keiran's beautiful custom artwork to be completed, wait for the bumper to come in (late April) and find a red changing table mattress cover and his room is done.

I think it's safe to say Keiran is already spoiled. :)
