if you notice on the side of my blog, the countdown for baby to come is 2 days. It would be nice if that really did come true, Im not holding my breath for it though.
I can't believe how quickly 9 months has flown by. Pregnancy has not been the easiest thing by far, but it will be the most rewarding that I have gone through in my life. Everything hard will all be worth it once he is here. I just have to remember that. its been hard to keep that in mind the last couple weeks. I am not sure what's worse; constant sickness throughout almost your whole pregnanacy or the last 2 weeks of being pregnant. I'm ready to be done that's for sure.
On Wednesday we had an ultrasound done to determine size. He is measuring approximately 8.5lbs. give or take half a lb. not a HUGE baby, but definetly if he sits in there until I am induced in 10 days he will probably be at least 9lbs. They said his legs and arms and hand and feet are all measuring super long. No surprise since his Daddy is so tall and I am not sure by any means. The said overall he is measuring in the 90th percentile. My Dr. said that if I said I wanted a C-Section she would do it today for me since he is big. I really don't want that. I want to avoid that at all cost so he will wait... and sit inside me. Just hopefully not too much longer.
The past 3 weeks I have had no progression. With my due date being 2 days away, I know this is common, especially for your first baby but common or not its disappointing to go to the dr. to see nothing is happening. If McKay doesn't decided to come on his own then my induction date is set for 8pm on 10/09 with the plan of him being born on 10/10.
Yes, its a cool birthday but at this point I don't care what day he is born I just want to get him here already. I better learn some patience, right?
Tonight I plan on doing anything and everything to help get this labor started. My sister is taking me out to get a pedicure ( I hear there are pressure points in your feet that can start labor) and it will be relaxing and needed. After we plan on eating the spiciest pizza known to man. Apparently there is a restaurant in Salt Lake that has a spicy pizza that people swear by if you want to go into labor. I also plan on galloping around the neighborhood like a horse.(google says that really works)

Hang in there! I know what you mean about the last couple of weeks of pregnancy--every minute that you're still pregnant feels like an eternity.
I'm so excited for you! Come on, McKay, your Mom is ready to meet you!
YEAH!! You are so close. I cant wait to hear about when he comes. We miss you lots and hope everything goes well with delivery. Lots of Love...
My sister-in-law goes bowling (using a light weight ball) to put her in labor. It has worked every time - and she has 6 kids.
I sort of feel like I never want to be told if I have/haven't progressed during those last four weeks of pregnancy.
Just kidding, I could never NOT know.
Honestly though, Parker was over 9 pounds and he delivered more easily than Leah (of course he was my second, soo....). I think your body is like, "Okay, we're having a baby whether it's 6 pounds or 10 pounds."
I hope all goes well. Good luck Kates!
Also, I'm thinking wide thin thoughts for you.
I guess you got your wish! So glad he's here!! I'm a little bummed I didn't get to witness you galloping around the neighborhood. Maybe you can reinact it at the next Porter Party :)
