Week 36 - Almost done!

Week 36 - Almost done!

Well it has been awhile since I have posted about the new baby and I am happy to say that hopefully this pregnancy is almost done! Over the past 6 weeks my belly has continued to grow and my nights have continued to get more and more uncomfortable as sleep has become more and more a luxury! The anemia level for the baby ended up leveling out at about 1.25 which isn't an issue (according to the doctors) and starting this week I have also stopped taking the aspirin which thins my blood during the pregnancy to combat blood clots.

I have met with my doula multiple times, created my birth plan, and am overall just PLAIN OLD DONE with this pregnancy! I delivered Jacob at exactly 37 weeks and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have this baby in a week too, but something tells me that just because I really want that, I won't go into labor until week 40! UGH!

I haven't gotten any pictures of the baby for the past 4 weeks due to the fact that he is already head down and facing my back and has usually had either his foot or hand covering his face (just like his brother did). Yesterday during my measurement scan the sonographer couldn't even get a good measurement on his head because he was sooooo far down the birth canal and face towards back. She measured his head in the 80th percentile but told me that she wasn't confident with that measurement. His overall percentile ended up being in the 61st percentile, but the 80th with the head padded the percentile and he is probably more likely in the 50-55th percentile.

Hopefully the next post I make will be a birth announcement! Cross your fingers!
