I am down to weekly Dr appointments and will switch to bi-weekly next week! We are getting down to it!
Lets see what's new....
Well for starters the best news is at our last ultrasound the Dr said there is no sign of ventricular distress! Meaning my baby will more then likely be born with a healthy heart! Luckily mommy did not pass that on!! We were over joyed to hear that! We were also told that he is measuring about 3 weeks early. Due to my diabetes he's a big baby! He was 5.6 lbs and growing about 2 lbs every month. Luckily he is evenly portioned! Most women with diabetes have big babies who's shoulders and tummys are large but the rest is normal. Not my son he's a roly poly all over! :) due to this new finding we are going to monitor his growth closely. If he continues to grow the way he is by 38 weeks he'll be 9 lbs and that's when we'll take him. The Dr says he is 70% sure we will do a c section. I am fine with that. For me the thought of surgery is far more comforting then the other way! Lol. Surgery I know I can do!
The only problem is we have to be a little more cautious of the heart failure due to c section. Due to the increase in fluid and blood after the procedure I will be very closely monitored for 2-3 hours only allowing my family to visit. After we get out of that questionable zone I'll be moved to the normal maternity ward and able to start seeing visitors. Because of this we ask that anyone who would like to visit the day he is born to just communicate with Isaac and we will give the go ahead when time.
We have been slowly working on his nursery which is coming along so beautifully! I am a little worried I wont be ready but its just me being silly!
We did really great at our first baby shower and are so stinking excited for our next one! Then we'll get the last little necessities and be ready to go!
My sweet wonderful husband has been working so much so we have extra income for when Hunter arrives, I'm just so proud! I'm constantly smitten and amazed by Isaac every second. He has shown me what an amazing man of our home he has grown into! Taking care of me and his unborn son, I'm just so blessed to give him a little boy of his own!
You our friends have been so amazing as well! Thank you for the constant calls, visits, and well wishes! Our family is wonderful as well! My in law's gave us a beautiful stroller car seat combo, my parents have blessed us with baby furniture and the entire crib bedding, my baby sister comes over almost everyother day to say hi or help me with a project, and not to mention the amazing art my mother in law and sister are providing for Hunter. I am so honored to bless these people with a nephew, grandson, son, and future fun child!
I can't express my joy enough. For being a difficult pregnancy I have still really enjoyed this process. Probably more then I should have :) I will be doing this again for sure. Down the road.... lol. One baby at a time!
I love you all, and be ready to meet Hunter Aaron Jones the second week of August! I know I am!
