34 weeks?! Time was moving like sand in an hourglass and now I'm pretty sure someone made the hole bigger and the sand is falling out in clumps...
My pregnancy with Ryder hasn't been all rainbows, butterflies, and ice cream, (actually there's been a lot of ice cream, but whatever.) But, I am honestly sad to see it coming to an end. For inquiring minds, this is our last baby (cue all the tears from me). As sad as that makes me, it's a decision Ryan and I made to be able to provide a great life for our two kiddos. We have been SO incredibly blessed to have Ryleigh and Ryder without any complications. We know this and are so thankful. But, two is our number. Now I need my sisters to pack on some more nieces and nephews for me! ;)
In other news...I had a doctor's appointment yesterday andddd....Ryder's position isssss....HEAD DOWN! Big deal for us over here! Ryleigh was breech, resulting in a c-section (no thank you!). So this little guy will gain major brownie points if he stays in the position he's in 😊 I have ZERO desire to have a repeat c, and no, you won't change my mind by telling me how much easier the 2nd one is. I've read a lot of stories of doctors not being supportive of VBACs, mostly because scheduling a c-section is easier, but my doctors are completely opposite. They are all 100% supportive of a VBAC and have never tried to sway me back to a repeat C. So, only time will tell. But for now, I am praying for a head down baby boy!
WE LEAVE FOR THE BEACH IN 3 DAYS!! EEK! I seriously cannot wait! The doctor said I should be fine as long as I drinks tons of water and stop on the way down frequently so that I can walk around (sorry, honey). Poor Ryleigh thought we were leaving the other day and she woke up telling her daddy she was ready to go to the beach! Explaining to a toddler that she still has a few days to go is not ideal 😩
Next appointment is in 2 weeks and then I start going weekly!!
