It's August!

It's August!!!

Which means we will become PARENTS this month. WOW!!



Honestly, I don't think it has really sunk in yet. Even with the nursery ready and waiting and an ever growing belly, it still feels quite unreal! We are extremely excited but obviously also a little anxious.

I have a scan later this afternoon and Doctor will do an internal to check cervix and dilation. He says it won't tell us whether baby will come in a week or two or three because I can be 1 to 2cm dilated already and stay that way for a while or there could be no dilation and go into labour tomorrow, it's all very unpredictable.

At last weeks scan (37w4d) little mister was weighing in at 2.7kgs which means he only gained about 200g in 10 days. Doc is still happy with this but it could mean that he Luca will have a more average birth weight of 3.22 -3.3kg. Also, quite unpredictable since the measuring isn't very accurate at this stage.

I will update later with details of today's scan!

UPDATE:
Sjoewee, seems like mister has turned into a little piggy again. Weighing in at 3.2kg already! Doc said that it is quite difficult to get acurate measurements now but he is sure that he is above 3kg's already.With about 17 days to go I'm hoping the weight gain slows down a bit or Luca might have to come out via the sunroof  ;-)

He didn't do an internal so no idea how "things" are progressing. Luca's swimmingpool is still pretty full, so a good sign of a healthy boy with great kidney function.

Next appointment ~ Wednesday 10 August (38w6d)
