Whoa almost on time!

I know I surprise myself sometimes too! Only two days late....

So we are drawing closer and closer well we thought anyways, so we have 3 due dates now?!?!?!

We were so confused so we tried to figure it out after our last doctors visit when he said happily "well you are almost 36 weeks!" HUH? YOU MEAN 38 weeks????

Oh boy so at our original scan the doctor was adamant that the fetus was only 8 weeks. But since we knew our date of conception we were sure he was 10 weeks at the scan. So that put us on different due dates from the start. Kelly and I had June 1st down. The Doctor had June 6th or later.

Then at our 21 week ultrasound the technician actually said the baby was measuring for a May 25th due date?

Oh boy so we are all over the place.

So we could have 11 days, 19 days or longer UGH!

I guess in reality all that matters is that he comes out ready and healthy. But you do not want to hear you have an extra 2 weeks you weren't planning on.

so being typical Sean I will continue on in my defiance and aim for a June 1st due date. =)

At our weekly exam on Monday Jackson was still head down and his heartbeat was good. They did not do an internal (because of their calculated due date) so we don't know anything knew about the cervix. Kelly has been having more pelvic pain so I wouldn't be surprised if she has effaced a little more.

In good news Kelly was negative for strep B so no need for antibiotics during labor!

Wow this pregnancy has really gone pretty smoothly, I can't believe it will be over soon and I will get to meet my little boy!

In other super exciting news on May 8th at 6:40 AM my brother and his wife welcomed their new little boy. He is healthy and happy and I am sure excited to meet his new cousin Jackson in a few weeks!

I know Kelly and I were so jealous they got to meet their little guy and we are still waiting but we also are so excited for Lance and Jenny!

Nothing else too exciting just finishing up preparing for baby and checking things off the honey-do list.

Next appointment on Monday and they will be doing an internal this time so more news then.

The week 37 Belly!

3 weeks you say?

So I have resigned to the fact that weekly blogging at this point is not happening. Work has been really nutty lately for both of us. Kelly is exhausted and I am not far behind her.

I think I have weeks 34, 35 and 36, to catch up on.

Like I said I am TIRED. So this may not cover everything that happened but you know how it goes...

In week 34 there were not many new changes just belly growing more. Kelly being tired and sore and finding it harder to get comfortable at night. We did experience baby hiccups for the first time. Really cute and puts a smile on your face when you feel them. poor little Jackson!!! I hate having hiccups.

Kelly started having a little bit of pelvic pressure this month and we think Jackson may have dropped down into her pelvis.

Here is week 34 belly

Week 35-

The end of this week marked the official beginning of the 9th month of pregnancy! Woo hoo.

Kelly and Ashley went and got pedicures which I know was a good treat they both enjoyed. We also got to show off a very pregnant Kelly and took Josie to Marymoore park or DOG HEAVEN seriously this place is unreal!!

Kelly's belly continues to drop a little lower and this week she felt quite a bit of pain in her pelvis and hips. To the point she had trouble getting into bed or walking at all. It even brought her to tears.

More hiccups from little Jackson which means he is probably swallowing amniotic fluid to practice breathing, good boy!

Kelly is once again hungry more often but now because of how big Jackson is she can only eat tiny meals before getting full.

Here is the week 35 Belly and a picture of my sympathy weight gain Belly oops! ( I am pushing it out as far as I can to make Kelly feel better =) )

Week 36-

In week 36 the pelvic pain continued a bit. We had an appointment with the OB on Monday. They did a strep B swab on Kelly and will let us know the results soon. Kelly mentioned the pelvic pain so he decided to do an internal check. His said Jackson is definitely head down at this point and that is the cause of all the pressure/pain. He also said Kelly was 50% effaced, so we are slowly preparing for labor. He told Kelly it could be any time now or weeks rom now but once she hit 37 weeks he would not try to stop labor. Wow we still have some things to get done we better get our butts in gear!

In other news my Sister-in-law has been 100% effaced and dilated to 4 cm for a few days now so we are expecting our new nephew literally any day now!!! Can't wait for the two cousins to play together in the future!! Hopefully they have as many adventures as Lance and I did!

So as of today 5/7/09 we have about 26 days left til our due date I hope it flies by. I cannot wait to hold my son in my arms and be a big proud papa bear.

week 36 Belly-
