36 Weeks - August 29th!

Doctor's Update - August 25th

We have moved on to weekly visits with Dr. Pohl. At our visit on August 25th the baby was perfectly fine and his heartbeat was strong. However, Dr. Pohl had suspicions that I might develop preclampsia. He said we will know more next week and there isn't anything I can do about it. My belly was measuring 42 weeks even though I am only 35 weeks!! That was a HUGE increase!

35 Weeks - August 22nd!

Doctor's Update - August 20th

We had our second growth scan on August 20th. They were estimating that Hunter weighs around 6 lbs 12 ounces. Everyone in the office was talking about our "big baby" before we could leave. I told Brian it isn't a good sign when even the nurses are surprised! My belly was measuring 36 weeks and I am almost 35 weeks so that has evened out again. Dr. Pohl wasn't too happy with my blood pressure so he put me on a very low dose of blood pressure medicine and I have to start coming to the office twice a week for non-stress tests on the baby.

Finishing the Nursery - August 9th & 10th

The weekend of August 9th and 10th we spent all day Saturday and all day Sunday working on the nursery and trying to get it done. My parents came over and helped several times because I had a hard time deciding where I wanted the furniture to go so Dad and Brian kept having to move it around. My mom also helped with some of the decorating because she would get mad every time I even thought about getting on the ladder!

4D Ultrasound Pictures - August 6th

Here are some of the still shots of the 4D. After our ultrasound we saw Dr. Pohl for our regular visit. What was amazing is the during the ultrasound Hunter was transverse or sideways in my belly. Between the ultrasound and when we saw Dr. Pohl (while we were in the waiting room) Hunter turned head down! We were excited to find out that news and Dr. Pohl was pleased that he was head down. Maybe the caffeine I had on the way to the ultrasound to try to get better pictures helped because in the waiting room Hunter was going crazy. I have had very little caffeine the whole pregnancy so he really reacted to it! My belly was measuring 36 weeks although I was not quite 33 weeks yet. My blood pressure was fine and Hunter's heartbeat sounded great according to Dr. Pohl. He said he still plans to induce between 37 and 39 weeks.

4D Ultrasound - August 6th

Here is the video from our 4D Ultrasound, it's pretty long and she switches back and forth from 2D to 4D a lot. Hunter had his hand in front of his face the whole time and she was trying to get better shots of him!

Working on the Nursery - August 2nd

I guess these aren't technically pictures of us working on the nursery but we were working on organizing and storing all of the "stuff" that we had received for Hunter. It was a daunting task that took many weekends but we are so grateful to have wonderful friends and family who have given us all of the things we need to welcome a new baby!
