36 Week Update

Today we had our 36 week appointment and ultrasound. We found out that Blair has gained about 3/4 of a pound since our ultrasound last month... not quite what we were expecting. We thought she would be weighing close to 7lbs, not 5lbs, 12oz! Good news is that she hasn't gotten as big as we thought, but bad news (if you can call it that) is that we have no idea when Miss Blair will make her debut! Looks like we'll play the waiting game. If we decide to induce, the soonest Dr. Schmidt will induce will be 39 weeks. They are back to using her original due date of April 4th... so it's all a waiting game. I guess she is going to take after her Momma, and not the girls on the Benson side of the family like we thought. :)

Dr. Schmidt checked to see if I was dilated at all... nada. So we'll go back next Monday for our 37 week appointment.

There was something attractive at the thought of being able to schedule a C-section and being totally prepared... but I am happy in any way we can get Blair here. I know that the end of the pregnancy is nearing, so I try to keep that in mind as the level of discomfort increases. Sleeping is a bit of an ordeal, but luckily Travis rubs my back on a nightly basis. He is an amazing partner!!!

Last weekend Travis and I spent time finishing up the bathroom and Blair's room. We got Blair's glider put into her room (yay!) and have finished most of the decorating (minus a few pictures). We are very excited that in a few short weeks we'll actually have our baby!
