Really pregnant...





I made it to about 20 weeks without showing too much...then, this happened. These were taken at 28-30 weeks. Not huge, but way bigger than I was in the beginning. I went to the Dr. yesterday and was told that I will probably be induced anytime after 38 weeks. I had low amniotic fluid with Creighton and so I have to see a perinatologist this time around. I go to my OB every two weeks and the perinatologist every 2 weeks. Its a lot of driving to and from, but it's reassuring to keep an eye on the baby. Depending on the levels of the amniotic fluid, they may have to induce earlier. Hopefully, we can get to 38 weeks and then set a date to be induced. It will be nice to not go over my due date this time. It will be the first of three pregnancies that I haven't gone over my due date. I would like to go into labor on my own, but I have been induced with my other two, so I am not sure if I would know if I was in labor. We are looking forward to meeting the new little guy. Chad came home the other day and said "well, I have narrowed it down to three names that start with a C". I said "you mean narrowed it up from the one you had before"? We want to stick with C and K names. With Creighton, I made a list of about 30 names I liked and Chad narrowed it to 1-Creighton. With this baby, I did the same, and Chad narrowed it to 1-Cort Patrick. So, he didn't really narrow it down, but up-from 1 to 3. Anyways, now he won't tell me the names. He said we can discuss it in the delivery room...something to kill the time...as if I won't be busy enough on my own! So, I don't know any of the names he likes. I told him that is not how normal people discuss a name for a child. Chad makes life interesting.
