Third Trimester: Weeks 28-40

The third trimester brought A LOT more heartburn, very little sleep, and seemed to drag on and on. I took very few pictures because the camera was not my friend by this point!

 

28 weeks 4 days

 

At 36 weeks we began our weekly appointments! Every week we were so excited to go see if I had made any progress. We determined we have a very stubborn child! Despite a lot of extra walking, (John would drag me to Northpark mall after work to walk) every week it was the same story, no dilation but "thinning." At our 38 week appointment I kindly asked my doctor for a plan. Would we stay on Emory's time and risk possibly delivering a 9lb baby or would we give her an eviction notice??  After weighing the options, we all decided an induction at 39 weeks would be best! Emory's birthday will be January 9, 2013!!!
