i went to my doctor today and had an ultrasound. charlie is measuring at the 78th percentile and it looks like he weighs about 7 pounds 5 ounces. the ultrasound tech said the he has lots of hair!! we could see it on the ultrasound (once johnny scans them in i will post them). his head was really low and his legs were for sure right up by my right ribs :) one of his elbows was digging into my right hip too (that explains a lot!!). we saw his sweet profile and a neat view of his nose (from under it kind of).
my doctor said that after my next appointment i can schedule to be induced at 39 weeks! i won't see her next visit but she said she will check her voicemail from vacation and ok the scheduled induction.
i am excited about meeting charlie, but i am nervous about the labor and recovery. i just hope that the epidural works just as well with charlie as it did with jack! but i hope that my recovery is better with charlie than it was with jack...whew it better be!
i also hope that my knee gets better by then. i can walk on it so that is the good news. i still can not straighten it all the way, but i think that everyday i can do a little bit more with it. i am just so happy that i can go to the bathroom without help now. i am also happy that it wasn't anything major and that i am in good health. i am sooooo happy that i did not have to go on bed rest. i really don't know how the women that are do it. it is miserable to sit and watch everybody do things around you and know that you can't do it or help in any way.
johnny has seriously been awesome! he has done the dishes, the laundry, put jack to bed everynight, given jack baths, cleaned up the house, gone to the grocery (with my crazy coupon lists), come to pick me up for doctor's appointments (even though he is on a hard rotation and has to ask for some time off...he HATES to do that), played with jack and cooked dinner.
hopefully i won't ever have to repay the favor in the same way he has (like hopefully he won't hurt himself), but one day i will repay the favor by waiting on him hand and foot!! hopefully that day will be soon!! i am so proud to have such am amazing husband who cares for his family so much and never complains! he is seriously the best!!!!!
