43 weeks???

Well not really, but that is what I am measuring at thanks to my abundance of amniotic fluid. I am 37 weeks here. Now considered full term, but still hoping to make it another 2 weeks to my scheduled c-section.

I saw my doc today and she assured me that it is possible for me to make it 2 more weeks! At the same time, this baby can really come anytime. In the last week I have felt there is no way I can last until the 15th, but after today I want to do as much as I can to try to make it. I will be huge and super uncomfortable, but it is worth it to let Davis cook a little longer. I am not on bed rest, but have been told to take it easy as much as I can. My doc knows I have a 20 month old and laying on the couch all day really is not an option nor is it necessary at this point. I have been having more frequent and stronger contractions, but nothing consistent. It is funny because with James I barely even noticed the Braxton Hicks contractions. The ones I am having now will sometimes wake me up at night. But again... nothing to make me think I am in labor. I am still doing fetal monitoring 2 times a week which is nice because I can see what is going on with my contractions, his heart rate and I get to see him in an ultrasound every week. I am so grateful that there is nothing wrong with him and that this fluid is just a fluke. My doc said he is probably going to come out all buff from being able to move around so much. He is getting a lot of exercise in there. I can feel him pushing his feet up into my ribs while using my bladder as a punching bag at the same time. The funny thing is, I will miss this a little once I am no longer pregnant. Feeling a baby mysteriously moving around inside of you is the most amazing thing. But even more amazing will be meeting this little guy who I already love so much. Hopefully it will be in 2 weeks :)
