And then we come to week 29.  I had a Doctor appointment this week and when my Nurse Practitioner measured me I measured like I was 35 weeks.  WOAH!  No wonder why I felt so huge.  She did a quick ultrasound and it showed I had excessive fluid, also known as Polyhydramnios.

Week 30

Week 33

This is the last picture I took during this pregnancy.  I took it in a Home Depot bathroom.  I was at Home Depot with Emmett and we were walking down an aisle and this man sitting at the front of the store tapped his friend and pointed at me.  I am pretty sure he was pointing at me, because there was nobody else in the aisle.  It really didn’t bother me, yeah I thought how rude.  Emmett needed to go to the bathroom so I took him and as we walked in I looked in the mirror.  WOAH!  I looked liked I might have that baby in the store, I felt like it too.

I had another ultrasound by the tech to make sure that things were ok, to measure my amniotic fluid, and double check that I wasn’t having twins.  Ok, maybe not that last part, but I definitely questioned it.  At this appointment I asked my Doctor if I should have concerns with the excessive fluid and see a High Risk OB.  He said no, since all my tests I had done previously looked good.  He measured my belly one last time and I measured 47 weeks.  What, 47 weeks!!  I told him I didn’t think my belly could get any bigger and he assured me that it could and compared me to patients who were carrying twins.  I reminded him that was not funny and that I only had one baby.

I ended up back in his office Friday of that same week because I was having contractions.  He gave me a shot to help the baby’s lungs if I went into labor early.  I went back in on Monday to get the second dose of the shot.  And then that Friday, which was the 13th, my water broke.  To read about Isaac’s birth go here.
