36 Week Ultrasound, Appointment, and Thoughts!

I am 36 weeks 3 days today! Ultrasound this morning went great! Khloe Ilene is 6lbs. 13oz. which is an amazing amount of growth in 2 weeks. Khloe's last ultrasound her weight was approximately 5lbs. 4oz, so that is 1lb. 9oz. Ultrasounds can be off slightly but that shows she is still growing and at a great rate! The ultrasound tech. said Khloe has allot of hair which explains the large amount of heartburn I have had lately. Amniotic fluid looked good at 11, which is down about 2cm from a week ago being at 13 but still is a good amount. I have not let them check my cervix, although they ask me every time I go in if I want to know :) I would prefer to guess at this point! (I was 2cm 9 days ago so anything more than that is 1 more cm closer to meeting my baby)....


I was also told in my ultrasound today that she has huge feet. They measured 7.72cm!

I have a scheduled amniocentesis for Monday, July 26. If the amnio comes back that there is an 80% chance or higher that Khloe's lungs are developed then they will induce on Tuesday, July 27th. If the amnio comes back with immature lungs, depending on how immature it comes back, they will induce at 38 weeks if I have not went into labor on my own. (I am thinking the chances of that are very slim but I guess you never know) and I potentially could be waiting until 39 weeks if the lungs come back greatly immature. It has been really hard to pray for the amnio to come back with the right answer and not the answer that I want but I want what is best for Khloe, even if that does mean she needs my tummy for a bit longer. I am however so ready to meet her and start my life as mommy of 5!

The older kids are doing great! I think Kaila and Kinsey are ready to go back to school although Kaila has gotten into the teenage habit of sleeping in until 10 or later. Oh to be 12 again! (according to her 12 is rough :)) The boys are a bit bored with playing inside....it would really help if it would cool off just a bit so they could play outside. (I would like that, too)......

Well, I will post again on Monday with the results of the amnio UNLESS I GO INTO LABOR BEFORE THEN :)
