Joey and I went to the Dr. this week, we will start going every week until our little bundle arrives! This Dr. appt brought so much peace to me this week. We were able to talk specifics about the labor and delivery of this baby and I know that my Dr. and I are on the same page and she is going to help me to have the experience that I desire. I'll explain all that more some other time. She also checked me and I am 1 cm dilated!!! so I"m 10% there as I look at it! That doesn't really mean much at this point, I could stay at 1 for weeks, but it does means that things are headed in that direction and it won't be too long until a baby is in our arms!
When she came in she asked me if I felt like I couldn't get any bigger, I told her, "I feel like I HAVE to if she is going to grow anymore, then I better too, cause we are running out of room!" She said when I get to 39 weeks she would induce me if I want and I told her I absolutely do not want to be induced except for a medical emergency. She said she is fine with that as long as I understand that it could mean that I go over my due date. I told her I was fine with that and she said she is fine with that as well. She said she thought the baby would be on the smaller side anyway so that was fine. That was a huge relief for me because I was feeling like the baby was huge already! I guess since this is my first pregnancy I have no idea what is normal, but I can feel her on my bladder and in my ribs and on my sides at the same time so I figured she must be huge! I had worked up in my head that i was having a 9 1/2 lb baby by the time this over! But hopefully that is not the case! Somewhere around 7 would be very nice!
This was a big week for me also because I had two baby showers. One from my friends at work and one from the church family. This little girl is spoiled already! I have LOTS of pictures of both to show you, however, we have no internet as I am writing this. We had an ice storm the last few days and have had power outages and the internet has been down. I just wanted to write something while I had a few minutes that I could post when it came back on. So come back soon!
