Light at the end of the Tunnel

I saw the doctor yesterday, and she was pretty surprised to see me. She was pretty shocked that I still haven't had Ryan after all of the pre-term labor events a few weeks ago. Well, he is still growing (no Ultrasound yesterday, just based off of her measurements) and we've decided that since I have already progressed so far and am continuing to do so, we will definitely be inducing no later than March 24 just due to how large he is. So at least there is an end in sight! She is hoping I have him today because, of course, she will be out of town starting this weekend for Spring Break. I have started getting some of the lower back pain and can tell things are moving along, but how quickly that turns into active labor, there's just no way to know! All I know is that I feel like an Umpa Lumpa (probably from eating out so much with my mom over the past few weeks) and we are getting very anxious to meet this little guy. Hopefully our next update will be announcing the birth of our little man, we'll just have to wait and see how stubborn he decides to be over the next few days.

Still pregnant....

Well, we have passed the 35 week mark and it looks like he has gotten comfortable again and decided to stay in a little longer. Bedrest has been pretty uneventful and a reallllly long 16 days, but who's counting? Went to the doctor yesterday and got a good report. It appears that I have not progressed any further, so I am off of "strict" bedrest and back on take it easy mode. After this weekend, I'll probably be off of it altogether, so that we can get things moving along. Since he has passed the 7 1/2 lb mark, size could become an issue if he decides to get too cozy. Everything looked great with the little guy, we don't really get good pictures of the ultrasounds anymore since he is so huge!
We are really looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully, we'll be able to use this time to get out of the house some and go to dinner and enjoy what may be our last days as a party of 2. Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts, prayers, and emails over the past few weeks. They worked!

This is at 35.5 weeks before I went to the doc. Decided to take a pic then since it was the only time I had actually gotten out of my sweats in a week!
