Baby update

Ok, for those who still read this. I had my 39 wk appt today and the dr decided to go ahead and induce me. So bright and early tomorrow morning (Wednesday July 16) we are supposed to be at the hospital by 7am! HE did say that they have been unusually crazy lately and IF the hospital is full, they might not get to me, but he said he would still try to squeeze me in. So if all goes right, we will be meeting baby Nicholas sometime tomorrow!!! Wish us luck!

more baby stuff, its getting old huh?

Well for those just DYING to know :) my ob appt went great today. I dialated another cm, so now I am up to 3, only 7 more to go woo-hoo! The dr said that if I haven't had the baby on my own by 39 wks, he would induce me that week. So if Nick isn't here by July 13, I will have an induction scheduled that week sometime. Hopefully Tuesday or Wednesday. Which means he will definitely be here BEFORE my due date. I am hoping things happen on their own, but we shall see how it all goes.

On another note, Mike is officially deployed. He has made it safely to his location, and his countdown started last week! He says this base is smaller than the last one and right now they have work to do, but that probably wouldn't last, so it will be quite boring there.

The kids are doing great. A little more wild than my family is used to I think. Apparently the Munson kids are bigger monsters than even *I* knew! But oh well, only a few more months and we will be gone again.

Baby update

Since I have been measuring big throughout the last half of my pregnancy, my ob decided that I needed another ultrasound to see what was going on. Turns out I am just having a big baby! Unlike with Kinzie my fluid levels are all normal, and for the most part Nick is measuring normal. But according to the sono tech, he has a big head (sad for me, small heads are soo much easier!) and he's kinda chubby! She has him weighing about 7lbs 9 oz right now, and I am 37wks 1d. Kinzie was 7'9 at 38 wks, when she was born, and Charlie was 8'7 at 39wks 4d when he was born. SO Nick is just gonna be big I think. The tech also said he has TONS of hair, and confirmed that he is indeed a HE! I have an appt with my ob tomorrow and I am sure we will discuss what happens from here, so I will post about that tomorrow!

phone number

To those who may need to reach my while I am in KS, I got a cell phone (prepaid) for the next few months. My number is 785-844-9320. I have to pay 10cents per text, so try not to text me too much! Thanks!

Dr appt today

So I had my 1st dr appt today with my old ob (the one I used while I was pregnant with Charlie). He sure hasn't changed much! Anyway, since I am 36 wks now, they checked to see if I had started dialating or anything, and I have. I am 2 cm and about 50% thinned out. Baby's head is down, and ready to go! Course I always dialate early and take all month to get to 5, so I am not really getting excited yet!
I have an ultrasound on Monday to try and figure out why I am measuring so big. At 35 wks I was measuring like I was 39 wks, not sure how big I was today, he just said, oh wow you are measuring big, and scheduled the u/s. So hoping I just have extra fluid and that I am not giving birth to a 10 pounder!
The kids have completely adjusted to life here. They love having cousins to play with and Nana and Papa around everyday. Of course they miss their Daddy. Whom I haven't heard from today, so hoping he finally got on a plane this morning *cross my fingers* I am soo ready to get this deployment started, so the quicker he can get home!

I have a few pics that I haven't added to the computer yet, but as soon as I do I will get them posted. I finally got some wheels *Thanks Dad* so we are BUSY the rest of the week, baby-sitting tomorrow, and having lunch in Topeka and SHOPPING Friday!! Woo-hoo for Walmart!

update

I guess this is a little overdue, and most probably know anyway, but.... We arrived safely in KS Sunday evening. The kids did really well on the flight. I was so excited and glad to have my sister-in-law there to help me out! We got settled into my parents' house and the kids have had no problems adjusting. I have been to the dr to get the referral to OB and will be having my 1st ob appt today. Can't wait to see how it goes! We haven't done much since we got here, but that doesn't bother me! We have all summer to see things and people!
Missing Germany already! And Mike, wish I knew exactly when he was leaving, but still no answer. Oh well, hope our summer is fun!

Paris edit

Ok so looking back I see some spelling errors, and I don't know why the pictures are all spaced funny, but its after 11 and I am tired, so I am not fixing it!! Just pretend you don't see them!
