Anderson's a REALLY BIG Boy!

I went for my 34 week appointment today and had another ultrasound. My doctor wanted to get another estimate on how big Anderson has gotten since the ultrasound 4 weeks ago. Well needless to say Anderson is HUGE! I am still measuring 4 weeks ahead and they estimate that he weighs 7 lbs 2 oz already and I'm 6 weeks from my due date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything looks great. All his organs are perfect and the amniotic fluid levels are good. My vitals and urine checks continue to be normal and the doctors are happy with my weight gain so far. I am starting to feel anxious about labor and delivery. The unknowns like when I'll go into labor, how big Anderson will actually be, and if I'll be able to deliver him vaginally are really overwhelming. I know it will all work out how God plans. All I want is my boy to be healthy and happy. I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable and sleeping at night is more difficult. My back hurts often and I get tired easily but nothing I can't handle. I have bad sciatic nerve pain down my right leg especially when I lay down to sleep. My hips are definitely tired of being slept on! My baby boy is so worth it! We video taped the ultrasound today and got some really good pictures. Anderson is definitely a boy! Dawn, the ultrasound tech made sure to point out his "Anderson parts"! We are so excited. My next visit is in two weeks, then I will go weekly until he's born. The plan is still to go into labor on my own, God willing. We'll just have to wait and see how our handsome boy decides to enter the world! Hugs and kisses!

  1. Amy, I am sooo excited for our Anderson to come into this world! I pray that God will be with you for the rest of your pregnancy and that you will get the rest and peace of mind that you need. Take it as easy as you can, rest and put your feet up whenever possible. I'm proud of you, Amy. Love ya
