Week 35 Update... Countdown to Ezra

So the biggest news is that this past week Ezra very officially dropped -- two weeks earlier than Canaan did -- making walking even more interesting (any movement on my part means both a contraction and managing the uncomfortable feeling of a very low baby)!

Friday we had a very interesting OB appointment. We found out that...

• I am 1cm dilated, confirmed that the baby has dropped - he is LOW (the doctor could feel that the baby's head is shaping to my pelvis so we should expect a cone-headed little babe).


• While I am now officially scheduled to be induced on November 22nd at 39 weeks, I was told not to expect to make it that far (probably a safe assumption).


• Lastly - probably because Ezra has dropped - my belly is measuring at 30 weeks (5 weeks too small). We are going to have an ultrasound on Monday to be sure he hasn’t stopped growing since the last time we took a peek at him. If there is a growth restriction issue then they might send me to have him on MONDAY... like tomorrow. Obviously we’re hoping that he’s growing fine and I’m just small! If we can avoid the NICU by hanging on another couple of weeks that would be so wonderful.

Another big thank you to my sister Julie for snapping a couple pics of me and my belly!
