Lil Hoff Update Week 34

This week has already been much better.. I think vacation wore me out and I wasn't ready for all the activity that we did.   I was just having a pity party last week.Farmboy is not really having sympathy for me, so I guess I have to get it from somewhere else. ha! We did go to the doctor this week and had a ultrasound, so what is going on with Lil Hoff will be more specific to him and not so much an average 34 week old baby, cause as we found out Lil Hoff is above normal.

What is going on with Lil Hoff....

Now before I start, I always realized that I would be having a bigger  baby. I was not a small baby ( I weighed around 9 pounds and neither was Farmboy (he weighed around 8 pounds). So like I said, I never figured a 6 or 7 pound baby was going to be coming out of me. With that said....

1. Lil Hoff's head is in the 70th percentile (When I say percentile  50% is average of course)
2. Lil Hoff's abdomen is in the 90th percentile
3. Lil Hoff's femur is in the 60th percentile (poor fella, so what we have is my body with Farmboy's head)
4. He weighs 6 lbs and 3 oz. (which as I stated in the last post, he has the potential of growing 1/2 pound a week until delivery.)
5. While Lil Hoff is laying the correct way to be delivered he is not facing up,so while he still has time to turn if he doesn't, then I will have what is called back labor which means when he comes he will be pushing on my pelvis as he comes through and all my contractions will be in my lower back, which the doctor informed me is very painful.

What is going on with me....

1. The doctor's appointment did not help me at all with the anxiety I am feeling. I have not been to an appointment yet when he has not used the word big. So after this appointment Farmboy is on flying high as he got to see our son, and he is healthy, and everything is good. I left the appointment crying. I was hoping the doctor would tell me that it was mostly fluid inside me and that the baby was average and everything was perfect for an easy deliver and I got no comfort at all. My crying mixed with Farmboy's excitement left a less than desirable afternoon together. Farmboy didn't understand why I wasn't happy that our son was healthy and I couldn't get Farmboy to understand that when the doctor used the terms "big and painful" in the same appointment, that it leaves me feeling worried and scared. As I told Farmboy, no woman gets pregnant hoping to have the worlds biggest baby.

2. I don't know if I have grown enough that people are now really realizing that I am pregnant or if my clothes are getting so tight that there is no question, but this has been the week of strangers asking about me being pregnant.

3. We had our first baby shower this week. It was VERY nice, but will be a different post.

4. We also had our second baby shower this week. 

5. I have slept better this week, but have been very, very exhausted.

6. In one night I had two massive leg cramps that hurt very badly.

7. I don't know if it is allergies or being pregnant, but I guess I have started snoring really loudly at night. It is effecting Farmboy's sleep, so on average of about once a night he wakes me up to tell me that I am snoring then he goes back to sleep, I on the other hand just get mad, cause now I am awake and have to try to get back to sleep and as when I was snoring, obviously I was asleep as well. Farmboy might not be sleeping in my bed much longer. :) 

7. The doctor did not say anything about possible going into delivery early, so I was a little bummed about that as well. I have my next appointment in 2 weeks, then I will start to move to weekly appointments. It is getting closer......
