Baby Update

I am feeling, overall, very well. I have decided I think I am ready for Baby Brother to be here...TODAY (or asap). I love being pregnant, but there is just something so much more special about having your baby here. I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I am 3 cm dilated and 60% effaced! :) I will not disclose how much weight I have gained, but I will say it is less than what I gained with James....so far. My blood pressure was great at 120/60, and the baby's heartrate was 137 bpm. My uterus is still measuring big by two weeks, so it looks like a 39 week belly as you can see below! YIKES!!! Since we have such a long drive to make it to the hospital, and we think I won't make it much longer, we decided to set a day to be induced. We should definitely have Baby Brother here on OR before April 14, 2010! We are still struggling with this choice of breaking my water because we want to let nature take its course unless there is a medical reason to induce. However, having to drive an hour and a half just to get to the hospital makes us think this is the wise decision and everything will be okay. I guess we can still decide later, but for now that is where we stand. We will keep you posted as best as we can!

39 Weeks!
