I didn't think I would make it this far. I thought this little boy would be here by now. But, here I am... 39 weeks pregnant.
Alden is completely developed and ready to enter the world any day now. He should be weighing around 7 pounds and be about 20 inches long. Our little guy is most likely around 8 pounds, if the doctors calculations are correct. He is still wiggling around in there and it is starting to hurt when he moves. I've learned once he wants to move around, I need to lay down on my side to give him so more room. Otherwise, I'm the one in pain.
I haven't been having any more contractions since our adventure to the hospital last week. I have had Braxton Hicks contractions (Of course) but nothing else. I am completely uncomfortable now. My hips and pelvis hurt so bad it is hard to get out of a chair or out of bed, which makes it hard with my 4 bathroom runs each night. Nothing has changed since last week. At our last doctors appointment, I didn't gain any weight, which means I'm getting close, so I've been told.
We have another doctors appointment tomorrow at 11:15 AM. We will see what the doctor has to say. Hopefully we will have some good news.
Until next time....
Lyndon, Stacy, and Alden

I hope your appointment goes well! Doctors can be off on calculations, 2 weeks before our son was born they estimated him to be 7 pounds and they're supposed to gain a half pound a week and he was born at 6.8 pounds.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and I keep checking to see when you post the good news!
