As I stated in my last post, my doctor's appointment Wednesday went okay. Blood pressure was high and she ALMOST sent us down to labor and delivery for elevation and started talking about induction. After the 4th time measuring, she decided Wednesday was not the day for his arrival and sent me on my way. However, we scheduled an appointment for this morning to get my pressure taken again. I don't really want to be induced just because of my borderline concern blood pressure but we will see what she says. Usually high blood pressure becomes a serious concern this late in pregnancy if it is accompanied with protein in your urine, headaches, nausea/vomiting, swelling, and even a pain in the upper right part of your side. I've got none of those so I'd rather not induce yet. It is crazy to say that at this point as I am ready to meet him already but I wanted to go into labor naturally. Oh well, whatever doc says goes. We will arrive for appointment with our bags and everything ready to stay.
How is your guesstimate holding out.. some are already wrong..
Here's an updated COUNTDOWN...
- 3 Days until NEW YEARS
- 1 week until DUE DATE - January 4th! (7 days)
- 2 weeks until Doctor will induce if I'm STILL pregnant - no later than Jan. 11th! (14 days)

- How far along? 39 weeks... 1 to go, 2 at most!!!
- Baby is the size of a... Watermelon...
- Total weight gain: getting close to 50.. and getting even closer to starting to downward counting. :)
- Maternity clothes? yelp.. and pretty much anything comfy at this point.
- Stretch marks? yes... but oh well!!
- Sleep: sleeping great but starting to constantly think about my water breaking when I get up at night. I dream and think about it while also dream about labor but all in all, I sleep great!
- Best moment this week: Christmas! We headed over to my sister-in-laws house since we were unable to travel to either of our families for Christmas. It was SO nice of them to invite us and they even to offered to bring a to-go plate had we'd been in the hospital. The food was GREAT and the company was AWESOME. :)
- Miss anything? mostly just working out and being comfortable.
- Movement: yes, yes, yes... he is really starting to get cramped in there and starting to hurt with his movements.
- Food cravings: I almost think I've gotten sick of sweets. Ugh. I've had so much over the holidays that now I'm over this... crazy because I have a serious sweet tooth even without being pregnant. Pregnancy just gave me an excuse which probably explains the 50 pound weight gain. Ah well..
- Food aversions: salads.. I'm ready to start liking salads again. Ha!
- Gender: BOY!!!! BOY!!!! BOY!!!! Wyatt Christopher Ouren!!
- Labor signs: not much as far as a weekly summary but definitely started to have more contractions yesterday with pressure. I think it might be a good sign.
- Symptoms: nothing new. I don't notice the back pain like I use to which is oh so very nice. My hips continue to ache when I sleep and sometimes walk. They are adjusting for this boy to come out already!
- Belly Button in or out? It is an official outtie!
- Wedding rings on or off? off, off, off! not going to go back on until after he arrives.
- Baby Purchases this week? nothing... got a couple Christmas presents from the grandparents but other than that.. nothing new!
- Looking forward to: Wyatt's arrival!! I can't wait to meet this little guy and hold him in my arms.
