Today is the day that I was originally due.
When I went in for my first doctor’s appointment in the beginning of my pregnancy the doctor did an ultrasound and the baby measured around July 16th. According to my cycles I was due around July 19, but the doctor, knowing I always go late and have big babies went with the due date of July 21st. We were fine with that because it is only 2 days from when we originally thought I was due and what is 2 days really?
Well now that it is here 2 days seems like SO long! Ha ha! Call me crazy, but I’m really getting ready and am anxious to meet my baby boy or girl.
Needless to say I was a little bummed today when I went to see the doc and he said there is no change. He said that he would like to see me back in his office on Thursday and then he will do a Non-Stress test on Friday.
Usually by my due date I am at least 3-4cm, so the fact that I am still just 2cm is a little discouraging for me. I do however know that it can change at any time.
The doc did say again today that he thinks the baby is going to be good sized like my others were. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that he/she doesn’t make Momma wait more than a week past my due date to enter this world. (My 2nd son’s birthday is on July 29th, so I’m really hoping baby doesn’t come that day either. I would like for them to have their own birthdays.)
I will keep you all posted as I can.
Hopefully my next update after my appointment on Thursday will be a little better and we will have a little change.
On a bright note, the baby is healthy and growing well and very active!
The boys are so cute! They all keep asking me if I can go in and have the baby today. They do this daily hoping that one day I will just say YES. I wish it were that easy, but it’s not.
