Week 36

So today I'm 36 weeks, and our little one will be here in less then 4.  Yep because the doc isn't letting me go to the full 40.  Today we had the BPP and growth ultrasound.  The BPP (I was wrong in the last post)  measures how many practice breaths, amniotic fluid, fetal tone and movement I believe are the four things in the BPP, Theodore has gotten an eight out of eight on all of his BPP's so far.  As for his growth from the last time I posted which was at about 32 weeks (4 pounds 10 ounces) he is now 6 pounds 9 ounces.  So about 2 pounds in a 4 week period.  He is at 59% so he is right where he needs to be.
Okay now some TMI for some people...The doctor also did a cervix exam today to see how things were going.  I'm 50% effaced, 1 cm dilated and Theodore is -1 in the pelvic.  So things are looking good.  Ben and I are thinking Theodore may even come sooner then the doctor thinks.  Dr. Sree also notice I'm not one to complain about pain, so she told Ben if I start complaining to bring me in.
Ben and I were thinking of going away the weekend after Labor day with some friends.  Just so I can have a mini vacation before Theodore comes.  Ben said I'm suppose to let him know ASAP when we are on the trip so if need be we can turn around and come back to the hospital.  I hope Theodore either comes before that or after.  Only God knows.

Baby Update!

So the little one is doing good,  According to yesterday's BPP (Biophysical profile) he weighs in at about 4 pounds 10 ounces.  Dr. Sree wasn't going to try and pinpoint what is ending weight will be and I don't blame her.  Next appointment is on the 6th with another BPP then on the 13th with a BPP and ultrasound.  He will more then likely be a September baby, it's just a matter of how early in September he will be the latest I would go is the actual due date of the 24th but could go earlier, I can't see them letting me go later, but we'll see what the BPP tells us and go from there.

On a more frustrating note, those who know about the issues I've been having with mail ordering my supplies (my diabetic testing strips) know the struggle I've been dealing with.  I still haven't gotten them after having dealt with the company going on 3 weeks, I should have gotten them on Friday at the latest but there was a delay and I wasn't informed until yesterday when I called, So I mentioned that I had been out for a week (which most of you know this story), the lady said you've been out for a week?  Yes, so she was going to see if she could get them overnighted to me.  Which would go against what the policy is from what I was told last time.  Even though last time I told them I only had 3 days worth of strips and they still wouldn't send them faster, though the day before they were going to 2-day them to me....if I had my choice I would stick with my local pharmacy, less pain in the arse.
