38 Week Appointment

38 weeks means we have exactly 14 days until Cohen's due date. After today's weekly appointment we just want him here. 

We had a bit of a scare at the doctor's today... First off my belly is measuring about 4 weeks smaller than it should be so that prompted the doctor  to perform an ultra sound to check on Cohen's development. They were looking to see if he is developing proportionally and they wanted to check to see if there was enough fluid in the placenta for him. So basically, they were checking to see if his home was a proper environment for him to continue to live in. Both his development and his home checked out great so basically Cohen is just a little guy. Nothing more, nothing less. He is weighing around 5.5 to 5.9lbs . I go to the doctor again on Friday and if I have progressed they may decide to induce just to be safe. 

The picture on the right is of me, with the heart rate monitors on. They were checking out Cohen's heartbeat, etc. just to be safe.  

We are both just happy he is healthy and that he will have a little more tummy time to get bigger and stronger. Look for new 4d ultrasound pictures soon! We have a couple from today to share.
