35 weeks.

Went to the doctor again this morning. My blood pressure is elevated, but apparently they are not to worried about. I will keep monitoring it at home. We still have not officially decided on a name for you. I have, but daddy has not...we will decide when we see you I guess. The plan for now is to go for a vaginal delivery under "ideal" circumstances if I go into labor before 39 weeks...if not we will plan a scheduled c-section to be scheduled at my 38 week appointment. The tentative birthday for you is May 8th unless you decide to come sooner. I love feeling you move around in there. I will miss you being there once you are out, but can't wait to hold you and see what you look like. I think you have been the easiest pregnancy out of the 3. Love you so much. :-)

34 Weeks

Today you are 34 weeks. The time is getting closer and closer to the time we will meet finally. Your daddy and I are still discussing names. This is way harder than it was with your brothers and sister...and it was pretty hard to come up with 6 names. I just want your name to be beautiful and special. You are moving around a lot. At my last doctor appointment about 2 weeks ago...which I think I forgot to write about they pretty much crushed my dreams of having a "planned" vaginal delivery. I was told since I had a c-section with your brothers that I could either wait to go into natural labor and have a vaginal delivery after c-section or a planned c-section. With you brother Jacob's special needs I feel the need to have some control over when you come. Your sister was induced and delivered vaginally. The triplets were born by a somewhat planned emergency c-section. I was told the morning of 28 weeks gestation that that was the day they would be born before 1 of them was in severe distress and it became a true emergency. I was told they could not induce after c-section deliveries due to risk of a ruptures uterus. So tomorrow I get to the doctor and will hopefully find out when you will be born. I have been thinking about it a lot. I have decided on a planned c-section which they will probably do around 39 weeks which would make your birthday sometime around May 6th which is a Sunday so I assume it will be a little over 39 weeks that you will be born.

Mommy is definitely starting to feel the discomfort of you being in there. I was taken down to 8 hour shifts at my job (currently been working in LRMC ER for 6 years) from 12. Lots of pain and pressure. Feels like I have been exercise and doing squats. Hurts to pick up my legs. I would not trade it for the world. I truly enjoy you being with me all the time. You have healed my heart. You have given me the perfect pregnancy that I craved after the traumatic birth and pregnancy with your brothers. I may not get that perfect delivery that I planned in my head, but I feel that it is safest for both of us to have you born via c-section. I love you and plan on seeing you in about 5 weeks.
