Update on Peyton

We had our growth ultrasound yesterday and she weighs 7 pounds 4 oz and she is measuring ahead. Doctor does not seem concerned about the weight because he said they could be off a little and in 3 weeks we will do another one.

The ultrasound lady said she has dropped into position and hopefully will stay that way. I can tell she dropped because I am having a lot more pressure down there and have been having what might be contractions, but I am not sure, and they are not consistent. Reading our childbirth book I think it is the lightening thing they are talking about.

We have 5 more weeks but I have a feeling that we are not going to go 5 weeks, but we could, but I have a feeling that we won't make it, but who knows I could totally be wrong since I never had a kid before and I have no clue.

I feel like though that we should get things done soon and my goal has always been September 1, so I guess we need to make sure we stick to that date.

There are a few things we need to get and our next shower is September 10th, but I think we will be okay to hold off on a few things and if need be I can give George a list and have him go get a few things that we might need if she decides to show up before September 10 :)

Crazy to think that she will be here in 5 weeks (or earlier).

  • The 'lightening' freaking sucks, quite uncomfortable!

    I know for everyone it is different but for me the 'real' contractions started as what felt like really bad menstrual cramps. I had Braxton-Hicks contractions randomly throughout my third trimester but the real contractions definitely felt different...even the first few very mild ones. 

    I think where you're at is about where the measurements get very squishy so I wouldn't read too much into them. I measured a week ahead for nearly all of my pregnancy and really didn't think I'd make it, especially since my Mom had my brother 6 days early (I was induced early so my brother is the only family history we have to go on) but Ellie was born 1 day after my due date. I didn't have any of the weight ultrasounds done, but I've heard both that they can be spot on or they can be way off. Either way, I wouldn't worry too much yet, Peyton will come when she is ready :)

  • Thanks.

    Kelli-- you are right in that she will come when she us ready :) I rather her wait 5 more weeks because I would like to get everything done, but if she comes early that is fine. The lightening does suck and in our book says it could last up to delivery, oh fun! I just have a feeling she might come early but then again I could totally be wrong. We did get to see her on 3d yesterday but it wasn't too good (she wasn't in a good position and she was covering half her face) but what we saw was so sweet. I think she will be about 8-9 pounds nut again I could be totally wrong. Babies are so not predictable Smile

  • LOL, they are totally not predictable! I REALLY thought Ellie was going to come early but she surprised me. Knowing my Mom went early, she was measuring ahead and the fact that the due date is calculated off a 28-day cycle and my cycles are more like 25 days, I just KNEW she was coming early. Joke was on me Stick out tongue
