Out of all of my appointments today (GD Clinic, Ultrasound & OBGYN) there is only one thing that stands out above all else. Thing 2 has now officially outgrown his big brother. His estimated weight right now is 5 pounds!! Isn’t that amazing? I’m shocked and thrilled all at once!!

I have lost weight though. This isn’t a big surprise as we knew a point would come where my eating wouldn’t be enough for him. My sugars are fine, my meter is NOT broken and the dietitian just gave me high calorie suggestions.

The ultrasound also showed I am thinning and dilating. My OBGYN didn’t do an internal to see how much as not to stir things up. She pointed out a lot of people sit like this and go overdue, but it could also be today for all I know so I should pack and be prepared. She is concerned about a quick labour. Induced I was less than 5 hours with Thing 1 and statistically she expects this time to be half of that. Hubby’s commute from work is and hour away (and he has our car), Hubby’s dad (our babysitter) is just as far in the other direction. I have no idea what we’ll do when the time comes. Hopefully my Mom will be here when it happens but she also can’t come now and wait for up to 6 weeks either or she’ll be broke.

If I did go into labour now they wouldn’t stop it. My OBGYN hopes it doesn’t happen now as he is still preterm but is comfortable enough with the biophysical profile results that he’d be ok. The mother in me hopes he grows a bit more but the pregnant woman in me wants to go walk, come home and have sex… well you get it. I am just done.
