34+3

Well my dreams of having a healthy 6 pounder were shattered today. Henry is already more than a pound heavier than B was when she was BORN. I am thankful though. He is totally caught up and measuring right at average for everything but his huge noggin- which is 89%. Yikes! The doc said their is no reason to think I won't go full term with this one, which is scary. How big will he be??? But truly, I am so thankful.

Stephen and I have been really blessed with this pregnancy. For some reason we have just never worried or felt anxious and it is so much more enjoyable that way. I guess this time around we finally figured out that it doesn't matter if we worry anyway- God will do what he will do, so I may as well trust him!

So anyway- Henry is 5lbs 10oz and is measuring more than a week ahead.

I did have a small scare a few days ago- I was feeling very dizzy and fatigued for no reason for a couple of days and my doc felt like I had some symptoms of a blood clot or a pulmonary embolism, and since I have a history of clots, docs always err on the side of caution with me. So I spent the afternoon and early evening in the hospital getting labs, ultrasounds on my legs, and scans of my lungs. It was miserable. Hospitals are no fun for babies so I convinced Stephen to stay home with B since I was pretty sure I was fine- but it was pretty boring being there alone for so long. Anyway, I'm fine and it's probably just normal pregnancy stuff!

The doc also told me I shouldn't travel, and that was enough for Stephen to completely nix all my plans for the next month. We are still "discussing" it (according to me...) so I'm still hopeful.

Here I am at 34 weeks plus 3!!!
