Bed Rest. Again.

After a very difficult week back at work, I was put back on bed rest by my obgyn. I was able to get an appointment to see her yesterday morning and also got an appointment in the afternoon to see a maternal fetal specialist. In order to induce any earlier than 39 weeks, we had to see the specialist and get him to approve the induction. The good news from all of this is that we got an ultrasound and got to see our little guy! The ultrasound was extremely detailed and everything looks perfect!! He is approximately 5 lbs. 8 oz (20th percentile, a little on the petite side) and we even got to watch him practice breathing! The specialist really wants us to hold out until 38 weeks to make sure his lungs are developed nicely, which means we have two weeks until our little guy arrives! We haven't set the actual date yet, but I know the next few weeks will be busy getting everything ready for his arrival!!
