Well, it's official, I have less than 6 weeks left of this final pregnancy! 6 weeks really isn't that long, is it? Please tell me it will fly by and Bennett will be here in no time. My c-section is scheduled for March 19th, at 9:30 am. I will be one day shy of 37 weeks. I know, it's early, but we are taking all the necessary precautions. My amnio is scheduled for March 13th to test for lung maturity. He's measuring one week big, so I have no doubt he'll have a little fat on his body. He feels like a full term baby right now, but my doctor assured me he's normal!
The appointment went well. Annika got to hear Bennett's heartbeat and she thought it was pretty neat. I think she called it a "noise". I got weighed, but I don't think I even looked. I think I may be up 20 pounds right about now. Oh well, what can I do? Hopefully I don't pile it on in these last few weeks. My blood pressure was ok, slightly elevated but nothing to be concerned about. Other than that, nothing too eventful. I go back in 2 weeks, hopefully we can have a good 2 weeks. No thoughts for Thursday again. I'm thoughtless right now. I have been reading all your posts, I promise. I have just been so terrible about commenting. I promise, I will get around to it. Have a great day one and all!
Glad you and Baby Bennett are doing well :)
Hope it is a quick 6 weeks for your!
Hang in there!!

It must be nice knowing you have a birth date. I thought it was weird that I was a few hours shy of my "due date". How they predict it by just measuring on an ultrasound amazes me. That must have been so neat for Annika to hear the heartbeat.

You are in the home stretch!!!! Just a couple of more weeks. How exciting. I am sure Bennett will be completely healthy.

hope the time goes fast! Too bad you couldn't do it on the 20th...that would make it really easy to remember! Aunt Connie and Andrea both have bdays on the 20th. March is very busy month of birthdays on my mom's side!
