38 weeks and 3 days

Today was my final doctors appointment!  We have scheduled an induction for Monday, July 25th (unless I go on my own before!).  The sonogram went well and Hunter is doing everything he is suppose to be.  Fluid level was good, placenta has matured and now it's time for baby to get here.  So if he doesn't make his way into the world by Monday, he will be sharing a birthday with Jeremy's dad:-)

Again, we got pictures but at this point I can't tell what they are.  The tech said something about his lips and nose, but I don't see it!  Hopefully by this time next week, Hunter will be introduced to the world:-)

Birthdays

Over the past month we've celebrated Bow's 3rd bday, my 30th and Cole's 9th.  My bday celebration was combined with Jeremy and Bow.  Bow was able to have many friends over and it made him very happy!  I don't have any pictures from the party but it was a fun time.

Here are some pictures:

37 weeks

Had another appointment yesterday.  The sonogram showed my amniotic fluid level had increased and dr was happy with that.  Went from a level of 9 last week to 13.5 this week.  So she wants me to continue taking it easy and drinking lots of water.  My placenta is aged but still functioning well, but she doesn't want me to go past 39 weeks.  I'm 80% effaced and at 2cm, so she thinks I might go on my own.  Wont be too much longer before Hunter is here:-)

Bow and Reflections

Here is a video of Bow chasing reflections in our front room.  He loves when shadows or reflections appear so he can chase them.  He is so goofy and we love it!

swimming

Here are some videos from the day at the pool.

Fun at the Pool

Today I had the day off so Malinda, Wes, Cole and Mom came over to enjoy so pool time.  Wes did great and Cole is a strong little fish swimming all over the pool.  He even acted like Michael Phelps and swam the length of the pool.  Here are some pictures of our day.  I'll work on videos and put them up later, for some reason, I can't figure it out tonight.

36.5 weeks

Today I had a sonogram and the start of my weekly doctors appointment.  It was fun to see Hunter but the pictures we got weren't that great, so I'm not posting any.  We found out he is head-down and pretty low.  The ultrasound tech said he had hair and when he moved you could see the hair sway.  To me, it looked like just a little patch of hair...we will soon see how much he really has.  We heard the heartbeat and could see that his foot is basically in my ribs.
The doctor was able to look over the measurements from the sonogram and said my fluid level wasn't what she would like it to be and my placenta was aged b/c of it.  SO, she has me cutting back on my work hours and wants me resting as much as possible.  It also means that I will have a sonogram at each appointment until delivery.  Today I was also checked and she has me at 1cm dilated and 70% effaced.  She was happy with that, b/c it can give us something to work with.   My next appointment is on Monday and we will see how things are going!
