I had my 37 weeks OB appointment this past Thursday and things are moving right along. I was 1 cm dilated, 50-75% effaced and Watson is all the way down and ready to go! So, the plan is that I will be admitted the evening of 6/8 to start the induction process and he will be here on 6/9. That is if he doesn't come on his own before then! We will keep everyone posted.
I still don't have too many complaints. It's definitely not as easy to get around and I have to go to the bathroom ALL the time. My feet really hurt and my legs/ankles/feet are swollen by night time. My sleep hasn't been all that great the last week or two.
For Memorial Day W/e, Jason and I wanted to take it easy and get some more things done around the house. Friday we were both tired and ended up staying in and going through the Krystal drive through around 9:30 pm. By midnight, I was vomiting. Turns out, I had food poisoning from my Krystal order and this went on until about 4 am. It SUCKED!!!! Not easy vomiting into a toilet with a big belly!!! I was fine Saturday morning. I cooked some things to freeze for after Watson's arrival and Jason worked on some projects around the house. We had friends over for dinner Saturday night. They brought their precious little 17 month old daughter....turns out our house is not child proof- AT ALL!! And Toby does not get along with little ones. Tucker did fine though. It was cute. She wanted to hold the ball that he kept dropping in front of her and he was wondering why she was not throwing the ball to him- there was a little bit of a communication problem there. But they eventually figured it out. We went to the Braves game yesterday which was fun- we won't be doing that again for a while!
I hope everyone else had a great holiday w/e. We will keep you all posted!!

We are just waiting now!
It has been a while since I posted so I will try to update everyone. Jason and I headed to Lake Blackshear the last w/e of April for our last lake weekend without any kids. We enjoyed the sunshine and relaxing. Our shower in Macon was the 1st w/e of May. It was great! We spent the w/e with Jason's parents and his sister came down from Charleston. The shower was nice and we received lots of great, much needed stuff! Last w/e we went to Carillon Beach for a friend's wedding. I was 34 weeks pregnant, so being on my feet all w/e and then the 6 hour drive home Sunday didn't do any good for swelling! My ankles and feet were so swollen! They are looking better now thankfully! We had a great time at the wedding and got in some good beach time Friday and Saturday.
My 34 week OB apt was last Thursday. Watson looks good. He wouldn't cooperate for the nonstress test, so my OB did an ultrasound. They do the NST in women with gestational diabetes to make sure the baby is doing okay and that the amniotic fluid level is good. The point is to see what his heartbeat did whenever he would move. Well, this child moves all of the time but wouldn't budge for the test. I was glad that we got to do an ultrasound so I could find out how big he is! Once my doctor started the u/s, Watson started moving! We were able to get some good pics of him for the 1st time. I think he looks a lot like Jason. We watched him suck/swallow/open/close his mouth and then he would suck on his fist! It was really cute! a/w. Everything looked good. He weighed in at 5 lbs 7 oz, which is the 69%ile for gestational age. His femur bone (leg) is measuring between the 70-80%ile, so I think he may be tall as well. If he keeps up the weight curve of ~70%ile, he would be ~8 lbs 6 oz at birth. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for my 35 week appointment.It's hard to believe we are so close! Everything for the most part is done. We still have a few small things left, but it shouldn't take more than a few hours in 1 day to get everything left to do done! I am posting some recent pics below.
