19wk appt update

Yesterday I had my 19 week OB appointment and things went well! Despite what the ultrasound tech told us about measuring right on, the ob said it shows another big baby. Aaron and I wondered because we did see some of the measurements on the screen show 19w6d (I was 17w6d). My doctor also began measuring my fundal height and my belly is showing signs of a bigger baby too, as it measured 22cm. Usually it measures right about the same number of weeks you are, +/- 2cms. We won't change my due date though since we know that it is accurate based on my early u/s at 7wks, but she said she would probably recommend inducing again at 39wks. This was good news to me for a few reasons... one, I had a really good experience with Brody's induction. Initially with Brody I was hesitant and wanted things to happen naturally and have that "honey, it's time!" moment, but I had that with Jacob and it was totally overrated! And the second reason is that I would not mind a December baby at all, I'll take the tax deduction ;) Also it will be nice to plan ahead for the kids to stay at my moms, especially since we could be having some serious snowfall! Although, that could all change if I go on my own before 39wks. It was exciting to talk about baby's arrival since it seems so far away yet!

Everything else looked good... my blood pressure was 93/61 (or something similar) and still no weight gain (although history tells me that will change by my next appt!). Heart tones were about 145!
