Almost To The End

I figured it was about time to give everybody an update on my pregnancy before it's too late. I have finally hit my last month! I am 36.3 weeks along now. Boy am I excited! It's funny, I went to the doctor today and he said he couldn't believe I was already this far along, he felt like I just got pregnant and I should have so much longer to go. The whole time I was thinking to myself what a long pregnancy this has been. Don't get me wrong I love being pregnant and I am so excited to bring another child into this world, but there is only so much room in this 4 foot 11 inch frame I have. Let's just say I have been a little squished as of late.

When I am pregnant I get hyperthyroidism which is totally weird because it goes away after I have the baby and my thyroid is totally normal otherwise. But because I get this only when I'm pregnant, I get monitored a lot more than somone else who just is normal during pregnancy. It sucks because I have to get my labs checked a lot to make sure my medicine is working but the fun part is, I get to see my baby a lot!

I feel like I have gotten to know my little munchkin a lot since I get to see her progress. She definitely is different from Addie! Addie was always showing off every time I got an ultrasound. She would happily show you she was a girl, suck her thumb, kick, and move a lot. Berlin on the other hand, is shy as shy can be. She always covers her little face and always has her little legs crossed. She only likes to move when nobody is around, so I get annoyed sometimes because she will kick me to death but as soon as Tom tries to feel her she stops!

This picture is one I got today at my ultrasound. It is by far one of the best of her face we have been able to see, even though she is still totally covering it with her hand. Little Stinker! Do you spy the extremely chubby cheek going on in this picture? I am a little worried she might be a really big girl! But I guess that just means I have fed her well in my tummy! ;)

I also had the pleasure of finding out that I am already dialated to a 2, and that my doctor is going to induce me! He said we will make a plan when I see him on the 12th of April, as long as I don't deliver before then. I really hope I don't deliver befor then anyway because he is going out of town and I don't want another doctor delivering me! Plus it doesn't help that Tom is having surgery this week and so he wouldn't be too much help in the delivery room. So everyone pray that Berlin stays fat and happy in my belly until April 12th. Then she can feel free to come!
