33 weeks and counting down!

Well I had my DR appt today with ultrasound. I am 33 weeks. 7 more weeks to go!! Mallory is measuring at a whopping 5lbs already! She's in the 70th percentile so a big baby! Which I expect. My mother and I tend to have big babies and get very big in pregnancy. I forgot to ask what I was measuring. I've had a lot of fluid build up. My hands, feet, nose everything are swelling. So he said to drink even more water and eat more protein or drink protein shakes.
I will probably opt for the repeat csection. With her size and risks of a vbac I think it's best for another csection so I will probably get that date next appt which is in 2 weeks. Oh and she is finally head down now!

Ashlyn is getting very excited as she tells me that often! She thinks Mallory is so adorable and loves going to my Dr appts. She loves feeling her move and kick Mommy. She hugs and kisses my belly every night and tells Mallory "good night" I know she's going to be such a great big sister and a big help to me also. I am truly blessed with such a well behaved, respectful little girl. She is no hassle at all and is always so good. Lets hope this next is the same, haha.

Pregnancy Update

Well I am 31 weeks today! 9 more weeks to go! It's becoming more and more real that I'm about to have another baby! It's been so long since I had Ashlyn. She'll be 4 a month after Mallory is born. It's so surreal. We have wanted this for so long now and now that it's almost here, I just can't believe it. God has blessed us and I'm so grateful.

I had a routine check up today. I am measuring at 33 weeks, of course because I have big babies. I'm betting she's over 9lbs. I am going ever 2 weeks now which I like. I had a csection with Ashlyn and I'm still debating whether or not to have another or try Vbac. But the more I think about it and the size she will be, I'll probably end up having to have another csection.

I have gotten all of Ashlyn's baby clothes out of storage and I'm washing them all today. The smell of Dreft brings back baby memories for sure.

Luis graduates from the Academy in April so we first have that to look forward to and then baby arrives soon after! Things are slowly but surely happening for us. I pray for God's continued blessings.
I need to take more belly pictures. I know 2nd time around you do less with updating and writing everything down, taking pictures etc. I dont know why it happens but it just did. But it's not fair to her that we don't document Mommie's pregnancy with her too. So those to come.

Oh and we finally picked a middle name too. Mallory Elizabeth Sanchez
