Makenzie Update

Had a doctor's appointment yesterday that went well. Her heartbeat is at 156, she weighs 7 pounds and 14 ounces, has a lot of hair apparently and did not want the doctor to measure her because every time he put the tape measure on my belly she would move. Sounds like my stubborn sweet girl, haha. I am 2 cm dilated which means we are closer. My last appointment is this Friday August 22nd (my due date), where they will strap her up to a monitor to see fluids, movements, heartbeats, contractions, etc. If everything seems ok they will schedule for me to be induced, if anything looks off they will send me to the hospital that day. I will try and wait it out as long as I can. I was hoping that they would let me go until September 6th, since that is the other date that they told me, but in their office they only allow you to go over your due date by a week which means no matter what happens we will meet Makenzie by Labor Day weekend. I am so excited to finally get to hold her and meet her. I am also nervous to have two children under the age of two, haha. Max has no idea what is going on but he knows something is about to happen. We tried getting him to understand that Makenzie is in mommy's belly, but all he took from that is that everybody's belly is called Makenzie. He does know where his sister's room is and he will show you, but I don't think he quite understands what will be in sister's room here shortly.

Update

Have not been able to update lately, but I did have a doctor's appointment the other day. I tested positive for B Strep, which stresses me out even more. Doctor says not to worry but that's impossible, has she met me?

Also some exciting news!!!! Turns out that my due date is August 22nd and not September 6th. So it looks like our baby girl will be here sooner than we thought. My due date was originally August 22nd but a doctor changed it when she gave me an ultrasound. My current doctor looked again at my last doctor's appointment and said nope it should have never been changed. So there you go. We could have a baby in 2 weeks!! I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I was prepared to be 36 weeks today, not 38. Guess I need to start working on getting things together :)
