We went in today for our 36 week ultrasound and doctors appointment. They think our little man is around 6 lbs 4 oz and is right on track for 36 weeks. They kept switching to 4D so we got to see great pictures of our little guy’s face. I’m not gonna lie, he is stinkin’ cute! I mean, look at that picture of him! And most importantly he is still a boy :). Everything looked good; he has plenty of fluid to stay comfy in there for a few more weeks.
My blood pressure was high again today. My doctor still thinks I just have gestational hypertension and not preeclampsia so I get to stay home. I tried to ask for more privileges around the house and got shot down. With the way my blood pressure has been, our doctor thinks it would be best, for me and baby, to deliver at 38 weeks. Right now the induction date is set for April 26th. It turns out that he will be born on almost the exact same time line as Julianna. We are praying that he will quickly develop and be happy and healthy. He also does not think I will go naturally any earlier so we have two weeks left to get ready to be a family of four.
In other news, Julianna started her new daycare today. We LOVED her previous daycare but with me not working it was really inconvenient to drive 20 minutes across town when we have a daycare less than a mile from our house. I broke my house arrest and went with her this morning. I’m pretty sure it was harder on mommy than it was on her. I have been able to watch her on their monitoring system and she seems to be having a lot of fun with her new friends and teachers. This new daycare will make it much easier on Aldo as he is the only one taking and picking her up these days and better for me once the baby is here and she goes a couple days a week. She has been such a trooper! I am really looking forward to Easter and watching her look for Easter eggs. Last year she didn’t understand what was going on but hopefully this year will be different. I even got my doctor to tell Aldo it was ok if I went out for Easter brunch. YAY for an outing!!
My next appointment is Monday so I’ll update y’all then! Love to everyone!
