36 Week Dr. Visit

We are at the Dr. every week now til our lil man is here!! We are so excited!! Today was an easy exam since there was no ultrasound for another two weeks. Our Dr. told me that I have only progressed a little since last week, but still in the range of where I should be for almost 37 weeks.

Rowan's heartbeat was a little elevated, since he is so darn active (!!), but came back down to the 160 range, which she said is great! We are so happy that he is doing well and that he has no major ailments! He is definitely taking up all the room I have to offer at this point, making it really difficult for me to breathe, my Dr. thinks that I might not make it 40 weeks... possibly inducing me at 39... it's too hard to tell at this point, but she is going to see how big he gets and how I'm progressing and will make the call in the next two weeks! This would be a huge relief, with having asthma and an already diminished lung capacity, it has been really hard these past two weeks or so. We are ready!

Also got my flu shot today... I don't normally get one, but this one is pregnancy safe and will help protect Rowan too, so of course I said yes! It wasn't too bad!!

Other than that, pretty much just laying low!! Have my next appointment to check progression next Thursday and then the following Friday for our last ultrasound to see his size! We are so excited to see him again!

I will post my 37 weeks-- (full term) picture on Monday!
