Pregnancy Follow-Up on Baby #2

     Well, I'm happy to report that at my ultrasound we found out our baby is growing just perfectly. Even though I was measuring small and didn't show growth for a few weeks he was a healthy weight of 6lbs 9oz at 36 weeks. Which put him right on track for his due date. Not only that, but he was back in the head first position! Yay! So as long as he stays that way I will most likely not have to have a C-section (unless of course there are other complications). I'm so relieved
     At my follow up appointment at 37 weeks I hadn't dilated anymore, but am now 80% effaced. The baby is also further down, which hopefully ensures he won't be doing flips anymore! lol. I am getting ready and excited. I haven't had any contractions or anything like that. I'm just super uncomfortable of course. I have also been very sick. I have had a cold for going on 3 weeks that won't seem to go away, and then on  Sunday I came down with the stomach bug. I couldn't keep anything down all day. It was awful. Thank goodness for good husbands. Ian took care of both Boston and I. He changed diapers, made sure we had fluids, cleaned up our messes, did two loads of dishes, tidied up the house. He was awesome and I love him for that.
      Now that I'm almost 38 weeks along, my priorities are to finish packing my hospital bag and the bag for Boston to stay overnight with family. I have actually gotten quite a bit done in the past few weeks that I have been wanting to do, despite feeling like crap.With the help of a friend and Ian finishing up when he got home, we got the baby's room painted and decorated a little bit. also was determined to paint our master bedroom before the baby came. I have had the paint picked out and sitting for months, but finally took a Saturday and finished it! Ian has been working late nights and weekends otherwise he would have done it for me (in case you all were wondering! lol.). I also am impatient and was not willing to wait for him to have time :) I still have a wood project that I'm currently halfway done with, I hope to complete and put in his room. I also have a shelf I need to paint and hang, then organize all his clothes etc.
I'm pretty happy I've gotten that much done though. I don't think the rest will take much, which is good because I don't have much energy these days!
      Anyways, I'll try to keep you all posted the next couple weeks with any changes! We are getting so close now!
