Baby Size: 19.5"
Baby Weight: 6.8 lb
*********************
I had my 38 week appointment today and there was no progress! Still dilated to a 3 thinning. My doctor said that we would talk about inducing, but apparently my cervix isn't ready even though it is thinning; something about it isn't soft enough yet? Anyway, he said he would see me next week...yay! I am ready for Dylan to be here! I have felt like poo for the last week, exhausted more than normal, feeling horrible, and just all around not feeling like myself. Hopefully Baby D comes soon!!

Bump-Date #2: Week 36 & 37
Week 36
Baby Size: 18.5"
Baby Weight: 6 lb
Week 37
Baby Size: 18.9" to 20.9"
Baby Weight: 6.2lb - 9lbs
*********************
I had my ultrasound on August 4th and got a sneak peek at Dylan :) All the measurements looked good, he looked healthy, and everything with me looked great as well. Turns out that my body shape/type is what is contributing to how I am carrying him; he is up under my ribs more than normal so I am not poking out as much as the 'normal' pregnant person. Also, we found out that he is measuring a week ahead of my due date...so he may be a big fella!
At my 37 week appointment on August 14th I was already dilated to 3cm, which is crazy because at my 36 week I was nothing! Just softening, and in a weeks time I thinned and went to a 3. The dr told me he gave me a week to 10 days tops, but of course I'm not holding my breath too much because Dylan will come when he's ready and not a moment sooner! Just strange to be walking around like that!!
Come on Little D! Momma is ready :)

Week 35
Baby Size: 18.25"
Baby Weight: 5.25 lb
*********************
I have been feeling the time crunch and have started working hard(ish) on the nursery! Everything has been going good for the most part. I had a routine appointment on Thursday with my ob, and he is concerned because I am measuring 1.5cm smaller than I should be at the point I am in this pregnancy. He has referred me for an additionally ultrasound to check for a few things:

Baby Weight: 3.75 lb
Week 33
Baby Size: 17"
Baby Weight: 4 lb
*********************
My appointment Thursday went great! Dylan kept kicking the doppler when the dr was trying to listen to his heartbeat...apparently he didn't like it :) Everything is still going great! I have noticed that I am get tired out more easily and have a difficult time catching my breath when I walk a lot, but that is to be expected. It is becoming more painful when he moves around too, but he's running out of room in there so I understand! Still crazy to feel this little being moving around in there, don't know that it would amaze me any less if I was pregnant 20 times instead of 2! The time crunch has definitely hit me, so I have a long to-do and to-buy list going. Kyle was out of town for work for 2 weeks, so I didn't really even touch Dylan's room. I hope to hit it hard and heavy in the next week or so, so I can start tying up loose ends and getting everything ready...not too much longer! Here are a couple of belly pics :)

Baby Weight: 3 lb
Week 31
Baby Size: 16.25"; Pineapple
Baby Weight: 3.3 lb
*********************
Last couple weeks have been uneventful, which seems to be a good theme for this pregnancy :) I've had minor things here and there, but nothing too terrible, which I'm not complaining about at all! I had an appointment last week and my blood pressure was back down to where it normally was with Colton; 123/70 something. So yay!!

Bump-Date #2: Week 29
Baby Size: 15"; Butternut Squash
Baby Weight: 2.5 lb
*********************
Week 29 was rather uneventful in relation to Dylan, which is great :) Kyle and and I were both off this week, so we took a mini vacation to Sea World - San Antonio with Colton! He really enjoyed it!! The animals were really amazing! Colton especially loved the splash park that they had, he played and played in that thing for over an hour. Luckily, we had decided to let him play when we were getting ready to head home, so he was able to wear himself out good!! He was even talking about it the next day when we were already back home. The rest of the week Kyle and I worked on stuff around the house; Kyle outside and I in Dylan's room. I tell you...he will not be short on clothes by no means! I have stuff from Colton, as well as clothes that others have give me; I'm even giving some away to others that need clothes as well. It's getting so close and the anxiety is starting to set in...along with the nesting :)

Baby Size: 14.5"; Head of Cauliflower
Baby Weight: 2-2.5 lb
Week 28:
Baby Size: 14.8"; Chinese Cabbage
Baby Weight: 2.5 lb
*********************
Baby Dylan is doing great! I had my 28 week appointment yesterday, which included the awesome glucose and Rhogam shot, so the day was full of awesomeness haha! I did get a sneak peek at him too, so I was super excited about that :) I had some bleeding earlier this week and called the on call doctor since it was after hours and she said it can be normal at this point during pregnancy, but to mention it at yesterdays appointment. So about an hour before the appointment I started having horrible braxton hicks that stopped me in my tracks for a bit and moved around to my back. When they finally stopped I was cramping and my back was still sore. I mentioned it to my doctor when I was there and he wanted to do an ultrasound to check my cervix and make sure I wasn't dilating too soon. Everything looked great (even told me to eat ice cream to get my blood sugar back up after the glucose test...doctors orders!!), and Dylan's little head was right on top of my cervix; so I got to see his head and little profile :) made my heart flutter a little to get a sneak peek!!

Yeah so apparently life/time goes by so much faster with pregnancy 2+! I didn't realize that it had been over a month since I last did an update. All is well though! Baby boy is growing as expected, and I have finally begun to get a belly, so yay! Colton turned 2, which is pure craziness to think that he is already 2!! Seems like just yesterday we were starting the journey with him, and here I am starting to see the light at the end of the pregnancy #2 tunnel! Time goes by so fast, so be sure to treasure every moment that you have :)

Week 19
Baby Size: 6.5"; Mango
Baby Weight: 8.5oz
Week 20
Baby Size: 10"; Banana
Baby Weight: 10.5oz
*********************
I can't believe it has been so long since my last update! The last 3 weeks had been pretty uneventful until earlier this week. I started feeling icky, not sick, just like something wasn't right. I happened to have my 20 week appointment today, so I was basically feeling like 'as long as I make it to Thursday all will be good.' At my appointment today, I told my dr how I have been feeling; extremely weak, tired, no appetite, not feeling like myself, having braxton hicks and being a little disoriented. I told my dr all of this today, and he basically said 'yep you're pregnant welcome to the 2nd half of pregnancy!' I was like oh gee thanks! I still think something more is wrong that 'being pregnant', so I'm going keep an eye on myself and see. He said to get more rest and drink more water. I was like well okay I'm doing that, but still feeling crappy. So I dunno. My bp was up a little today, 134/78. I talked with my nurse about it, and she said they don't get concerned until it gets to 140+. I know that 140 is technically considered high, but 134 is high for me considering my bp is normally 115-120. I just don't want to end up with pre-eclampsia or anything, so I'm going to do what I can to keep it low; drink more water, eat fresh foods, cut down on sodium, stop drinking soda, etc. Hopefully that will help! I just worry about these Texas summer's I'm going into...

Bump-Date: Week 32
Baby Size: 16.7"; Large Jicama
Baby Weight: 3.75 lb
*********************
Ugh! That's the best way I can describe this week!! I have been sooooo exhausted :( I don't do much (other than grow my unborn child) and I get so worn out. I mowed grass Saturday morning/early afternoon, and it knocked me out the rest of the day. I'm guessing I won't be mowing grass much longer...darn! haha!
Tuesday we went to our first child birth class...didn't really learn anything I didn't already know. I was expecting it to be like my mom use to talk about, where they teach you breathing techniques and such, but all we did was listen/watch a powerpoint presentation the L&D nurse did. We have three total classes; Tuesday nights for 3 weeks. This next week we are suppose to go over C-sections and issues with labor. I want to ask her about my placenta, and if she thinks it will cause any issues during labor. I really want to talk to my dr about it, but I'm not totally sure how to ask. I understand that issues can arise in a normal pregnancy and a c-section may be needed, but I'm curious if he thinks my placenta being low will cause any issues. What are the chances of issues? If there can be issues, what is his limit on how far he'll let me go? If I have a c-section, what is his view on natural delivery for #2? I tried to talk with him about it before, and he said it was still too soon to tell. Now I'm 7 weeks away at the most (hopefully) and I'm getting concerned. Not 'concerned' but anxious about knowing/not knowing what to expect. My next appointment is May 1st, so I'll try to talk with him about it again. Hopefully I can get some answers then, if not I'll talk to the L&D nurse at birth class about it that night I guess.
I'm also still having cramping and braxton hicks periodically. The cramps seem to begetting worse every couple days, and happen a few times a day; the braxton hicks aren't as frequent and are painless. I asked my dr about the cramping at my last appointment and he said it's everything just getting geared up for delivery. Before labor you can experience two things, cramping and/or braxton hicks...I happen to get both; cramping just more than the braxton hicks. Oh and I'm still swelling too :( My feet swell all the time!! I know it's just getting geared up, so hopefully it stays in the feet and lower legs...sure don't want it moving up to the rest of my body!!
