Baby News
I have hit my 3rd trimester and am beginning to feel very pregnant. In fact I am now at 32 weeks and have realized that I have 2 months left. Most everyone knows that I had a pretty difficult delivery with Elizabeth. Because of that, when I was pregnant with Martin I was given the option to have a c-section. I chose not to go that route and opted for an amnio at 37 weeks. His lungs were not ready at 37 week and at 38 weeks I went in for an induction. He was 10 days early and weighed 8.2 pounds. With this baby my doctor wants to keep a close eye on him as well, just so we don't run into any complications as with Elizabeth. At my 32 week appointment I had an ultrasound to see how this baby is measuring. It turns out he is measuring 2 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule. In reality, I'm not really surprised, however that does mean we go through the same thing as we did with Martin. So, at 37 weeks I am heading in for an amnio and we will go from there. Feels like deja-vu all over again. This also means that I really only have 5 weeks of being pregnant left and need to get things in order. One thing I've been meaning to get do is buy a dresser for Martin. Once I do that I can put baby clothes in the changing table and then feel like a baby can come home. It seems like all this is happening so fast...where did my 40 weeks go??? What have I been doing all this time???
