I still get amazed by the way they measure our bellys and can gauge things. You would think we are all shaped so darn diff.
How many U/S have you had? I get jealous, it seems like everyone has had so many more than us. I just had one at the very beginning to determine my due date and a 2nd at 20 weeks for the sex.
Boy time is really flying, you are getting close which means I follow
.
I know, it's crazy that they actually learn something from poking our bellies and measuring them. Who'd of thhough thats what you learn in medical school?
I've had three so far. Initially she told me only 1!
My first was the normal growth and anatomy scan, when we found out he was a he.
My second was because I hadn't felt him move in a week and he failed the baby stress test they did in-office.
Third was because he showed 90th percentile during the second one and presented breech. Dr. was afraid if he got too big and didn't flip, waiting until 36-37 weeks would be too late to try a version to flip him. Luckily he flipped on his own.
This last one (May 11th) is strictly to look at his size and (I hope she was joking when she said this) make sure he hasn't gone breech again.
If he's still measuring big, we'll set a date for induction or cross our fingers I go into labor on my own. So May 14th (my follow up appt. after the US) I should have a better idea of when he'll be arriving.
Oooohhh... 34 weeks... you're almost there!!! Is there a concern about having ******l delivery for you? Sorry, I'm soooo behind on this thread
Nope, not anymore. As long as he hasn't flipped back to breech. By decision I mean letting me go into labor on my own or schedule induction.
Dr. is just trying to keep an eye on his size, she doesn't want him bigger than 9lbs for a ******l delivery.
I can't wait to post that we are done with our house repairs LOL.... we aren't even moved yet and I am in a packing frenzy. There is so much stuff to get done but hopefully it will make the time go by faster. I can't wait until he's here!!
I hope you do better than me. We closed on our house December 22nd.
Yeah, we don't live there and it'll be questionable if we get there before Lucas. I need more boxes!
After the HVAC people are done we're pretty much there for what we're going to do now.
(It DOES make the time fly! Between meeting people for quotes, dealing with contractors [we added a laundry room], picking out paint and carpet colors, scheduling the carpet people the 4x they were there, etc... it has FLOWN!)
OMG Patsy you're so close! I can't believe how quickly time is passing! I remember when I first joined this thread I was only like 9 1/2 weeks...now I'm already almost in my third trimester. And then once you pop out Lucas (sorry that sounds kinda crude
) that means I am not THAT far off from having Jake. Crazy! But so exciting too!
Time flies when you're making a baby.
Have you just looked online at Target? They have reviews which can be helpful. The brand, DaVinci, has some really solid styles. Just a thought.
I second DaVinci. I'm very, very impressed with how solid our crib is.
Maggie- look at the mattress springs when you're looking, too. Lots of them adjust. We can adjust ours to several different heights!
My you are all so busy with the houses...I guess ours is in pretty good shape...tho I would love to convert my old deck to Trex...but we're hoping to move out in the next few years (3 tops), so we're not doing any big expensive upgrades...just maintainence...
I'm jealous.
We bought a fixer-upper (to a certain degree) so we could make it our own. We could have moved in with what was there but it was an older couples house and just needed the extra little bit of pizazz, kwim?
We didn't want to sacrifice sq. footage, location or yard.. so we bought something super affordable and dumped what we'd saved as our down payment back into it. (Gotta love the VA 100% financing w/ no PMI)...
It's turned out wonderfully it just seems never-ending.
Sad news today, sorta. My brother is not moving home- he's moving to Australia.
I figured it was coming but still stinks.
His girlfriend is supposed to return to Sydney in a week and I guess they're making arrangements for him to follow shortly after. I knew if he brought her to WV, the US would be out of the options for them. Should have kept her in Orlando!
(like we are doing right now 
)
That's her only grandkid she's talking about!
