Pregnancy Update

I went to the doctor yesterday. Good news is her amniotic fluid is back up to normal and there is only one cord around her neck again, so we dont have to go to the hospital twice a week anymore for those non-stress tests. He did a growth scan but had a hard time getting a real accurate reading due to the fact that she is SO far in my pelvis that her head and my pelvis are too smooshed together. He estimated she was about 6 lbs 12 oz right now...maybe 7 lbs. She is healthy and happy in there. I was bummed because I thought maybe I had progressed a little since last week, but no. I am still at a 1 and only 60% effaced. (i was bummed about that cause this girl is destroying my body) So I asked if I could schedule an induction date and he said no because he thinks I will have her within the next 10 days and wont even meet my 39 week mark. Im hopeful but...she is crazy...so I will just wait until next week when I go see him again. Until then...I'm huffing it up and down my neighborhood, taking advantage of the massive hills we live around and vacuuming my house a lot. Avery...its time to join this world PLEASE...come out! I hope my next post will be baby pictures!

pregnancy update

So we just got home from the doctor this morning. Im just about 37 weeks, and feeling huge like a house. Avery is one crazy girl, she moves and flips around so much she is causing some problems. Last time we were in she had one cord around her neck, which is not a problem. This week there are now 2 cords wrapped around her neck which is a problem. We go to the hospital twice a week now to have a procedure called an NST (like an ekg) so they can monitar her vitals and make sure shes okay. Also, the amniotic fluid levels are really low in my uterus. So they will keep an eye on that too. He did say i was about 60% effaced and dilated to a one. He says he thinks she will come early, but im not holding my breath. SO.... ive been told to rest, lay on my side, and drink tons of water. there hasent been any pictures from the appointments cause she is so low he cant even get an image of her. Alright, so 3 more weeks (but praying for 2...maybe 1!) Pray for this girl that she will be alright in there.
