Hi Joey,
We persevered through another week, didn't we? I have a feeling these last few are going to be the hardest. We went to the doctor on Thursday and he is back to saying "NO EARLIER THAN 39 WEEKS." That puts you back to June 23 despite me thinking it will be June 9th. We did get measurements and you are 7.5 lbs. I told him I didn't want a 12 lb baby cut out of me and he said not to worry - just 10 lbs. I just keep telling myself each day you are inside, is a day less you are in the NICU!
I have to be honest baby - I am pretty miserable. If I stand or sit too long, I start cramping/contracting really bad. I have to lay down immediately and then it stops. I am not as tired as I was last week so that is a good thing. You are completely filling up my tummy from my chest to hips. I have a hard time breathing sometimes because you must be just filling up ALL the space. The worst thing is that I think I have some internal bruising from you on my right. Even when you are not laying there, it is sensitive to the touch. Despite all my whines, I am still tickled to feel you move gently. I just can't wait to meet you!!
So, there isn't much I can do to help you out buddy. You are stuck in there until Bonehead decides differently. However, if you break your juice bag, you would come immediately. So, if you want to come out, you will need to break your water and you would come that day! I just don't want you to come prior to your lungs being able to function on their own. I also don't want you to come before June. We have some things to get done around the house and they won't be done until next weekend. I also ordered your M&Ms and they say June :) Keep cooking until June 1 then you can go nuts and break your water!
That is about it buddy! No photos this week. We will talk to you again next week!!
