36 week update

On Tuesday we went to our 36 week doctor checkup. The only thing fun about this appointment was the fact that we were having another ultrasound done to see how big Wyatt is. Todd was 9 plus at birth and I was 7 something. Everyone thought that this would be a big baby and at first I didn't think so but I have to say if he is already 7 lbs I'm thinking that he is going to be big!! After learning that babies typically grow 1/2 a pound a week from now until birth I was very nervous about having a 9 plus baby! We talked to the doctor about his thoughts and talked about a possible induction...something that when I first got pregnant I didn't want. Williams said that at our next appointment we would see how things were progressing and make a game plan from there. I am still not sure if I like the idea of scheduling a day for Wyatt to be born. I would love to have that surprise of "It's Time!" but then again what if he goes past his due date and ends up being very big and we need to have a C-Section. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it! If I had to decide today... I would wait until August 27th... his due date.. if he didn't come then schedule and induction for around that day.

Other than going to the doctor not much has happened this week other than its going really slow! I can no longer sleep like I used to be able to, getting up in the middle of the night is not the only hard thing... turning over from one side to the other is almost impossible! I just can't get comfortable. During the day I tend to feel okay, I've had a headache almost everyday, stomach problems, and just tired. As much as I love being pregnant I am ready to meet Wyatt.

Here is a picture of Wyatt at 36 weeks. We tried to get another 3d but he is to big. I think he looks like Todd, even his little profile reminds me of Todd.

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
