This week I had my last scheduled ultrasound and appointment with my OB. Little Iver is looking good, a slight drop in his weight curve, but they're not worried. He's estimated to weigh around 6lbs 9oz now, so he's growing and he's a good size, but definitely considered small in Westman standards! I'm starting to dilate a bit now, which is great! My body is prepping for delivery.
Speaking of delivery, I signed my induction papers for Wednesday, August 24th (39w 5d). So unless baby has plans to make an appearance sooner, we should be meeting our little bundle 4 days from now! It's very exciting, and very scary. I am looking forward to no longer being pregnant, and I'm REALLY looking forward to meeting our precious boy, but once he's out, things get real.
My in-laws arrived in Edmonton today and were able to visit the RMH for a little bit, before driving home to Lashburn with Mark and the kids. They will be taking care of our sweeties while Mark and I await baby's arrival! It will be the longest the kids have ever been apart from me, but I am so thankful that they are in great hands!
Please continue to pray for us as I get closer to delivery, and as the kids and I are separated. I have enjoyed my first night on my own, but I truly miss them already. It's one thing to get a few hours break to myself, but another to be here alone for a couple of days!
Next time I post an update, it should be with exciting news!
Thanks again to everyone praying for us!
Good luck beautiful Mama. Praying for all of you!! xoxo You are very special and God is right beside you <3
