36 Weeks and Counting...

We had our appointment with the doctor on Thursday, and little Bishop had not made any progress from the week before. We are still 2cm and 50% effaced. Although, I know he must take his upcoming role in "delivery" seriously because he's been practicing with lots of contractions, that obviously weren't making any progress for us!

However, the doctor did give us some pretty exciting news! She said that if we haven't delivered in 2 weeks, she wants to induce. That means the latest our little guy will be entering this big world will be June 4th! This came as a huge relief to me! I am trying very hard to stay positive and not complain, but I am to the point where I am pretty miserable all the time with backaches, leg cramps, contractions, tummy tightness, etc. I will say that I have been very lucky to have been sleeping pretty well throughout this whole pregnancy however! The weekends are much nicer because I'm not working and can be off my feet and rest, so we're looking forward to the long one! As soon as I see Bishop's sweet little face, I know it'll all have been worth it.

And here is a 36 week belly shot (with my sidekicks of course)...


Sully has actually been very sweet. He is so attentive and any time I get a painful anything (heel-kick, contraction, etc) that causes me to say "ow", he runs over to me to make sure I'm okay. Sweet pup.

"moving" along: 16 weeks

We are at week 16, and we have movement!! I felt my first flutters on New Years Day, followed by a couple of thumps! I've felt quite a few from then until now, and I have to say, I'm thrilled! Most of the time, it just feels like little pops in my belly! 

This week the baby is the size of an avocado - yum! Its eyes are settling into their permanent position, and its body is beginning to look a little more proportioned. 

We're counting down the days until our ultrasound! We're pretty set on our boy name, but we're having trouble deciding on a girl, so we're just going to wait and see what the little baby is before we stress about it too much!
