Final stretch

Here we are in the final month, sitting at 36wks 2days. Tomorrow morning is my weekly appt and my doctor is talking about stretching my membranes. Hopefully this will happen and will endure natural labor. He can't induce me without emergent medical reason until 39wks and by then he's certain Keiran will not fit down the birth canal. So hopefully tomorrows appt will send me into labor and we will have a baby in the next week. I'm beyond ready. I've been ready since 39wks when all the pain has multiplied. The past few nights I've been having legit contractions, some 25-30mins apart and would taper off. Hopefully its my body preparing to go into natural labor without any induction. That would be fantastic!!! I'm anxious for Mr Keiran to be in my arms, finally. Jon has his coworkers on alert incase I go into labor or my water breaks and his vacation is lined up. I just hope he doesn't have to go into the store at anytime for anything ridiculous, let my husband have his measley week off with his family and new son. Because Lord only knows I will NEED his help with Hayden so I can tend to baby until I can balance a routine and heal from delivery.

There is so much I would love to say here and get off my chest but I won't in fear of someone seeing it and my husband getting reprimanded for it like he has before. Apparently freedom of speech comes with a price now these days. I mean look who our president is. *sigh*

I will say this, I'm looking forward to the great things we have planned for our little family. Our future is endless and the blessings we have yet to receive. Yea for expanding family one last time!!!

Countdown starts.....now!

The list...

As "the" time quickly approaches, I'm tying up some loose strings to make the transition from a family of three to a family of four, a smooth one.

I know a lot of you want to know the moment sweet Keiran is born and have expressed this to me. I am overwhelmed with your love and kindness. You are absolutely more than welcome to come visit us at St. David's Round Rock Medical Center when he's born. The ONLY thing I ask, is if you are sick, running a fever, feeling under the weather, please don't come visit. We don't want to compromise our little angel's immune system just so you an sneak a peak. I hope that you understand and take that into consideration. :)

With that said, If you would like to be notified when he's here, shoot me a txt and I will be more than happy to include you on the mass list I have compiled. (My cell: 512-525-6053)

We hope to see you in the next few weeks as we are literally running out of time with this pregnancy. So thankful the finish line is near!! :)

X's & O's!!!

33wk speed bump

Update! Had my 33.3wk appt this morning. My main concern was my showing signs of preeclamsia which my doctor quickly ruled out with a urine collection, bp check and a finger prick to test my blood sugar. Amen!! So for now all is good there.
As always, he did a routine ultrasound to check fluid levels. Perfect there. Of course I was watching Keiran's every move as I felt them happening. I saw something that alarmed me. I promptly asked my doctor what that large mass was thinking it was my placenta or something else. He chuckled at my expense and said "No honey that's your son's head!!" It was HUGE. With that said, he took a few ultrasound measurements and measured the fundus and confirmed that Keiran is now measuring 16days ahead. Yes, TWO WEEKS AND TWO DAYS HUGE!!!!!!! So next Wednesday I have to go for an hour long ultrasound scan to determine if I will be diagnosed with macrosomia. Simple terms, large baby syndrome. The "somia" and "syndrome" terms alone sent me into a panic so I googled it and its just what it says, large baby! My doctor said once we get the results back and if I'm confirmed to have macrosomia, then my next appt (35wks.. because my Dr loves me he isn't starting my weekly appts til then) he will start stretching my membranes. Yeehaw! He did say without a doubt I won't make it to 38wks!!! Ahhhh the end is in sight and its close....real CLOSE!!!!

After my appt we went for our usual visit to go see and spend time with Granny and Poppop. Hayden loves his granny and poppop so much. We sadly learned they had to put down one of their beloved dogs yesterday which broke my heart. She lived a long successful life but will be greatly missed. Then Jon had the wild hair to mow their yard so their front and backyard was freshly mowed in less than 20min. Such a sweet guy he is.

Well that's all I have for this week. Things should start getting exciting in the next week to two weeks. :)

X's & O's!!!
