36 weeks

Just got done having my 36 week check. Everything still looks great. He is still measuring BIG. Your belly measurements are supposed to coincide with how far along you are. So I am 36 weeks and should measure at or around 36cm. Today doctor got me at 42 cm. We are definitely going to have a big baby. We talked about what would happen if my water broke or I were to go into labor before my scheduled c-section. She said it would be up to me if I wanted to try to have this baby vaginally. I told her that with the measurements of his head I would be scared to try. But the more I think about it, the more I think I would try to have him naturally if my body went into labor. It would be a quicker recovery time. So if it comes down to it and I go in to labor I would give it my all to get this baby out! I think I would labor at home as long as I could stand it and try not to have drug intervention until I could not stand it. A woman's body is made to have babies and I would like to see how it works!

Everything else is going good as well. The kids are getting in to a good routine as the school year progresses. Jaxon and Serena both are getting really good grades and I could not be more proud of them. Layne, as always does well with her schooling. Campbell is doing excellent as well. I have to take my big test to get my license for massage therapy. I am waiting until after the baby comes to do that. I can not see sitting comfortable for a 3 hour test.
Tim is doing pretty good. About 2 weeks ago he was in the hospital again for a small bowell obstruction. This is due to all the trauma and surgery he had earlier in the year. It was scary seeing him in pain like that again. All I kept thinking is that we could not handle going through this again. I prayed from the minute his pain started until he was out of the hospital. God must have gotten tired of hearing the same thing over and over again because it only took about 48 hours for Tim to be feeling better! Thank goodness.

So I am going to walk walk walk until this baby comes out!
