38 Weeks!

Here's a picture of me at 38 weeks. I feel like I'm going to pop! I didn't quite realize how big my belly was until I saw these pictures. We're ready for Tyson to come!

Update

So I went to the doctor this morning and the fluid level is at a 9.  So I am still having tests done twice a week.  Tyson will either come because I go into labor myself or the fluid drops to a 6 or below.  If it drops then I would be induced.  Being on bedrest has been interesting.  I get a little bored but I am able to get a few little things done to prepare for our son.  My mother comes into town on Saturday, March 22, so that will be really good.  I have had some contractions so hopefully that means my body is getting ready.  I am pretty sure they aren't those braxton hick contractions anymore.  Well, there is a quick update.  : )

Amniotic Fluid

Well I don't have a picture to post but I have some news.  Last Thursday I went in for a routine ultrasound because I have asthma.  I guess asthma can delay the grow of the baby.  Anyway, they found out the amniotic fluid was only measuring about 4 cm.  Around 36 weeks it should have been around 10 cm.  So they told me to count the baby's movements to make sure he was still moving.  Okay, so I like freaked out b/c the ultrasound dr. said if the fluid doesn't increase by next week then they would for sure induce labor on the 17th of March (3 weeks early). The next day I had an NST (non stress test where you listen to the baby's heart beat to make sure everything is okay) and had a another little ultrasound.  This time it was 7 cm.  I then went to my dr. appointment with my OBGYN on Monday and he said that yes he would induce if fluid is still low.  He also put me on bed rest.  Later that day I had another NST test and the fluid went up to 10 cm.  Today, Thursday, I had another test and fluid is now back down to 7 cm.  This is still low but not as critical.  The ultrasound dr. doesn't think that is critical enough to induce labor but it is really up to MY doctor what he thinks is best!  I just wish I knew instead of this guessing and waiting game.  However I count my blessings that my son is still developing and is healthy.  *sigh* At least I should be fine to make it to my baby shower this Saturday which I am really excited about.  I can't wait to spend some time with family and friends.  Anyway, that's my news.

Diaper Cake

Hey Everyone!  Just wanted to share some pictures of a diaper cake!  Danyelle at work made this for me!  Isn't it awesome!  I don't want to destroy  but I know I will so I thought I better take a picture for the scrapbook.

35 weeks

Here is a picture of me 35 weeks along! I can't believe how close we are getting. Tomorrow I have my last ultrasound and we're excited to see how much Tyson has grown from last time! Brian and I have been attending a prenatal class the last two weeks. We have two more weeks of class but we are really enjoying it! I have always been a little worried about the whole delivery process but gaining some knowledge on the subject has seemed to put my mind at ease a little. Not like you can really prepare too much because you never know what can happen. Anyway, this week has been horrible because I seem to have some sort of cold. It stinks getting sick while pregnant because you can't really take anything! Well, that's all for now I suppose. Love you all!
