37 weeks

Today I had my 37 wk appt and baby grew! He was est. 5lbs 2oz 2 weeks(1day) ago & today he was est to be 7lbs. Um, what?! Babies are suppose to grow 1/2 lb a week at this point, not a pound! So I'm a little freaked out by the quick growth & super hope they're totally off. They were with Katie at this point. I wish next week was a growth scan week too because I want to know if he really is growing really fast or if this tech was way off. I was also dilated to 2cm & the dang doctor was hoping for 3-4. Slow down dude, I'm only 37 weeks. Let's hold off on 4 cm til next week, then I'll be fine with labor soon. My mom comes in a week(June 3rd) & Mike goes to the field on Monday (June 1st). I am freaked out about him being in the field while I'm 38 weeks but I don't think I'll go in to labor so it really shouldn't matter. I'll just hope if I do start having contractions that I can get a hold of him quickly and they are without a broken water. I am not ready for Mr. to come, no way no how. I am scared of going in to labor myself(no induction or csection). I hope I do have him on my own but also very scared of doing so. Katie is ready for brother to come. She keeps telling me to go to the hospital to get him. :) She wants her grandma & nini to come and she knows nini comes after brother comes so she wants brother to come. This pregnancy is officially kicking my butt. I am tired all the darn time, I am stiff/sore/achy all the time. I am definitely moving slower and chores are getting harder. I have headaches A LOT & I've started to swell a little more. All in all though I am healthy, this pregnancy is going WAY better. By now with Katie I had been on hospital bed rest for a few days already. On Sunday I will officially be more pregnant than I've ever been. No gestational diabetes, no pre-eclampsia yet, no health issues affecting the pregnancy/baby. My blood pressure is good on these meds still. I am very relieved to be having a healthier pregnancy. Baby boy is still nameless & we are even farther from having a name. Oh joy! :) I can't wait to meet him but at the same time, he needs to stay in for another 10 days. I give him permission in 10 days. :) We'll see if he listens or not. :)
