Big Baby

I had my ultrasound and doctors appointment today. Our not so little peanut is measuring 9 days ahead and has an estimated weight of 5lb 5oz. The ultrasound tech said the weight is give or take 12oz. Yikes, I can't imagine adding 12oz to that! My doctors appointment went well. I found out that if I go into labour anytime after Monday (34 weeks) there will be no effort made to stop it. Aghhh! Hopefully baby holds on for a few more weeks. Although, I'm nowhere near as anxious now as I was a few weeks ago. Now that I know peanut is a good size and I'll be 34 weeks in a few days, which is a HUGE milestone I know they would be ok if they were born now. Of course they would need to be in the NICU for a bit to get bigger and learn to eat, but that's not too bad. I find myself watching a lot of baby shows right now and I cry EVERY single time the baby is born. I am just so happy and excited, and can't believe how close we are to meeting our peanut!!

33 Weeks 1 Day

Another week down and baby seems to be pretty comfy. I have a doctors appointment and growth ultrasound on Thursday so we can see how big our peanut is. I've been having a TON of contractions the past 24 hours or so, sometimes every 3-5 minutes but I'm not rushing into Labour and Delivery. They aren't getting anymore intense, and they spread out when I change activity. I'm trying to hold out for my appointment on Thursday.

I went to a friends house for sushi on the weekend. No, I didn't eat any raw stuff, only cooked! It was nice to get out of the house and socialize, and the sushi was delicious!! Haven't had it for over a year.

Our crib and glider/ottoman are supposed to arrive this weekend. Lucky Ralph gets to spend the weekend putting those together. Poor guy, maybe one weekend I won't have a list of things for him to do.... maybe. I just really feel the need to have everything ready, as we know little peanut could be coming any day now. Thanks for being such a trooper Ralph :)
