Ty = Baby #3 = HUGE

Had my 32 week OB visit today to check on baby #3 or I guess I should said Tyler! I had an ultrasound since Dr. S was worried about the size of the baby at my appointment last time. Well, turns out Ty is huge. After my ultrasound Dr. S walked in my room and said "the baby is huge!". Those were the first words out of her mouth after reading the ultrasound report. I said "I know, I'm feeling it!". So, lets get technical.
I'm offically 31 weeks, 4 days pregnant.
According to Ty's measurements on the ultrasound baby is 34 week 2 days.

That is a difference of 19 days people. NINETEEN DAYS. Let me break that down for you. He's measuring about 2 1/2 weeks bigger than he should be. He weighs about 5 lbs right now from their measurements. Might not sound big to you. BUT babies put on the bulk of their weight at the end, like a pound a week or something. So does this explain the cramping in my lower right side? Yes, Dr. S said this is from stretching. To make room for more baby in my belly. "HEY TY, THERE IS NO MORE ROOM!!" Does this explain my backaches? Yes. Why I became worn out after supervising the set up of my classroom with Andy doing 90% of the work? Yes. Why I'm getting worn down emotionally? Yes. Why I feel like I can't get any bigger or carry any more baby weight? Yes. Getting the picture? I'm feeling a little fragile right now! I think I could have burst into tears 3-4 times today. But I only did once.

Dr. S wants to keep a close eye on the size of Ty so I have another ultrasound in 4 weeks. I have a dr appt every two weeks now. My doctor said "I'm worried about you working. I don't usually worry about people continuing to work, I usually tell them to tough it out. But your baby is huge and you will be on your feet all day. I'm worried." OK. This doens't make me feel good. If my DOCTOR is worried about me then that ups the anxiety level. I already knew it was going to be really hard. I go in for 2 hours to set up my classroom and my back hurts so bad...How am I going to teach all day? I'm definitely worried. She did say she didn't want me to go past 37 weeks. So I'm guessing that means my due date has changed? I was due on September 26th. If you push that up 3 weeks then that is September 5th. That means I have 6 weeks to get ready for Ty- his room, his clothes, his baby stuff- My classroom, my math units for my team while I'm on maternity leave, call and meet with my long term sub, SURVIVE...I have to stop there before I panic.
Good news- got great pics of Ty on the ultrasound including a few in 3D! I've never had 3D ultrasound pics before. He looks so cute and he will be here before we know it to complete our family! Looking very much forward to meeting our newest addition it is just so overwhelming and hard right now and there is SO much to do.
Jenn & Sarah- show me the silver lining!
