*Big News*

Today was my 35 week appt with my high risk docs. I really enjoyed this visit. The doc was great, and I finally feel like we are going somewhere with this pregnancy.

Let's back up: I delivered James in Texas. I loved my doctor and felt very well cared for. One thing that she monitored closely was James' size. He was a big 'un from early on. We were expecting a heavy 8 lb bebe and were surprised when he came almost 2 weeks early at a whoppin' 9lbs. 10oz! Not being in Texas this time around keeps me from having the benefit of the same doctor watching the development of the second child, while linking the information gathered from the first pregnancy/delivery.

During my prenatal care this go round, my doctors weren't overly concerned with bebe.jax size. Wells, this visit confirmed my suspicions that Jackson, too, will most probably a big bebe. *I knew it.* So from here on out, we are monitoring his growth closely. Today's ultrasound showed that he is already at that 7 lbs. mark... and if he gains only half a pound a week, that could put him over the 9 1/2 lb. mark at due date.

Sooooo, I'll go back April 21st (@ 38 weeks) to get a new look at this big.bebe. We will decide then to induce either that week, or the next (39 weeks) *depending on his size. Oh, and NO- I do not have gestational diabeties.

***I generally resist medical intervention in most ways... BUT I do prefer to have this bebe naturally, so letting this pregnancy go to 40+ weeks- may put me at risk of ultimately having a c-section... so I'm definitely not wanting that.

Take a look at the new pictures. I can't stop looking at them. I'm smitten with my bebe.jax. He's beautiful and is the spitting image of his big.bruver... I'm at the end of this, and ready to move forward with my house full of hunky.boys!





Peace, love, and bebe.gear.galore,
