DR.'S VISIT - 05/20/13

Today was our 36 week checkup.  William's heartbeat was 136 BPM.  I am currently almost 1cm dilated and 95% effaced.  She doesn't expect me to make it to my due date.  She is thinking the beginning of June.  We go next Wednesday and I will be full term at 37 weeks.  She has me on light activity so contractions don't begin.  My blood pressure was normal, YAY!, so she didn't have to put me on medication.  Not long now until we get to meet our little Willie :)

Dr's Visit 05/16/13 & 3D Ultrasound

We went to our 35 week ultrasound this past Thursday.  I am measuring at 36cm and William's heartbeat was 140 BPM.  My blood pressure was high so she is monitoring it this weekend and when we go on Monday she will let me know whether or not I will have to be placed on blood pressure medication for the last four weeks. 

Tonight we went to do the 3D ultrasound.  It was amazing to see our little one.  We have mixed reviews of who he looks like.  He looks so peaceful sleeping in the pictures.  We can't wait to hold him.  His heartbeat tonight was 138 BPM.

DR.'S Visit - 5/9/13

 

Today we had our 34 week ultrasound to make sure everything was OK.  The doctor said all of his organs are normal and look good.  He is measuring in the 65 percentile, average is 50 and large is 75.  He is a little big at 5lbs 11oz for 34 1/2 weeks.  She also stated that my cervix is small and for the next two weeks for me to reduce my activity because she doesn't want me to start contracting and have the baby too early.  After two weeks I can go back to regular activity and she said I should have William either the last week of May or the first week of June depending on my body.  I'm hoping for June 7, 2013.  I don't know why but I like that date...haha  But i really think he will be here alot sooner than that.  Pablo thinks it would be cool to have him around Memorial Day that way his birthday would sometimes fall on a long weekend when he is on vacation from school.

William was facing my back so it was hard for them to get a picture of his face.  We are going to try to setup another 3D ultrasound next week so we can get good pictures.  Today they refunded us our money for the CD because they couldn't get good pictures.

It's getting closer, next week we need to pack a bag to be ready, only weeks to go now......
