Last Tuesday (July 15) I had a growth ultrasound to see how big EJ was getting bc of my gestational diabetes. They estimated he was about 5 lbs 11 oz, which is right on track for where I am in my pregnancy, so that was very good news. This past Monday (July 21) I had another ultrasound for this research study that I am taking part of and he was up to 6 lbs 6 oz!! So – he’s growing fast.
Here is the latest picture of our son
EJ at 34 weeks
I won’t go into the gory details, but the past few days I have been having some signs that labor might be starting sooner than we expected. Of course nothing is certain. This would probably be very exciting for me if James wasn’t in New Jersey until next Friday!! He can obviously hop on the first plane home if things really get started, but needless to say we thought we had a bit more time and I’ve been getting a bit freaked out at the possibility of delivering early.
So, if you are reading this, please say, “EJ, STAY PUT!” I’d like to make it to at least 37 weeks (Aug 2) (38 would be even better – Aug 9). So, please keep us in your thoughts and help me remind EJ that it would be best for him to bake just a bit longer!
