Post 6 of 6 35 Weeks and a doctor's appointment

35 weeks! I can't hardly believe I'm so close.

We saw the doc this week and he measured for the first time and estimated our little Blake is already 6lbs 6oz's. WOW! If this is true that would make her bigger than Cooper was when he was born. I still have 4-5 more weeks to go. I'm terrified of giving birth to a big baby. Cooper's birth was so easy, so smooth, I am just praying for this one to be also. I'm happy to hear she's healthy and fatty.
The doctor also mentioned that her tummy was chunky and she has a really good layer of fat built already.

I wonder when I will have her? Will I go to 39 weeks and be induced? Will I go into labor on my own?

I've gained about 35 lbs already. That seems like a lot to me.
There doesn't seem to be any activity yet, which is good since I'm only 35 weeks. However I would be ok with going into labor anytime after 37 weeks.
The doctor could see Blake practicing her breathing, she was breathing the amniotic fluid smoothly in and out. That's such a great sign that she's getting those lungs ready.

I go back in two weeks, my doc is out of town next week. So 37 weeks we will see what's going on and they will check to see if I'm dilated at all.

Please keep sweet Blakely and I in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.

I don't think I've ever posted but I've followed you since you were pregnant with Cooper. I just wanted to tell you congrats on sweet little Blakely! Love the name! Also, you are such a beautiful woman and such a cute pregnant little lady! My bestie is the exact same week/days as you and she is having a girl also. She is already dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced! It will be fun to see how close to each other you two give birth! :) Good luck and congrats again!

SO ADORABLE. I have been slacking on blogger as well lately and I just spent a good 20 minutes catching up on all your posts 1-6 :) I love love LOVE Blakely's room. You are so creative and how neat that there will be 3 little girls so close in age. You will definitely have fun with that! I will keep you and Blakely in my thoughts and prayers that when she makes her debut, everything goes as smooth as can be. You look great mama! :)

You look beautiful & don't stress the pound #; you'll lose it quickly chasing Cooper & having a new little one too.........at least that is what I tell myself every time I get on the scale :)

You guys are in my prayers & I am sure that her delivery will be as smooth as Coops was if not easier!

Have a very Happy Easter & weekend.

You look gorgeous. You are all belly. I hope you have a safe and easy delivery some time after 37 wks, but before you due date. 38.5 wks sounds perfect!! :)

Annie said...

You look great!!

My Livi was almost a full pound bigger than my Blake when she was born! It kinda scared me to think about when I was pregnant for her...but when I had her she still seemed SOOO tiny!!

Good luck these next few weeks!!

I can't believe you are this close already!! You look fabulous!! Maybe he will induce you 2 weeks early!! I was so glad they induced me 2 weeks early!! I don't think I could have made it those last 2 weeks!! Keep us posted!

Liz said...

Wow! Where has the time gone?! I'll be praying for you .. for a smooth delivery and a healthy sweet baby!

Brooke said...

No way!!! You cant be 35 weeks yet! Crazy. I would let her come out on her own good time. Inductions are over rated :) If you had a wonderful birth with Cooper this baby will be cake. You look gorgeous. Not puffy and swollen like I did at 35 weeks. Cant wait to see her!

Jennifer said...

You look great (as usual)!! Keep growing sweet Blake for as long as you can. I will pray that you don't need to be induced and will naturally go into labor when you're both ready.

I hope you have a safe, speedy delivery!!

Little Cooper is just adorable & I can't believe we are both even THINKING about the 2nd birthday. Crazy!! My boys are less than two months away!
