Mommy and daddy's little chunky

Our little mister,
We can't believe that in a few days, you will be here with us! Your dad seems to be more and more excited by the day. I am as well but of course I'm nervous and anxious to have you and both of us be okay and safe. 
Today, we had our last ultrasound at 36 weeks 3 days. Like in the past 3 ultrasounds, you kept opening your mouth and sticking your tongue out at us. Last night, we took a guess to see about how much you would weigh at the ultrasound. Your dad said about 6.5 lbs, my mom said about 6 3/4 and I was unsure lol. Well, they told us you're around 8lbs 5oz!!! We are amazed! It makes me feel good though. Having pre eclampsia they would mention that it could stop your growth and we'd need to have you be born early. But the fact that you little mister, have grown so much and you stay strong , you are already so amazing to us. You impress me and I haven't even met you yet. I did always hope that you would be strong in this world and that's what you've been all along. I was worried that you may be born very small and if that could increase your chance to go to the nicu but the dr said 5 in 100 usually go to the nicu at this stage. We've seen your little heart, stomach, kindneys, breathing, and you're doing great. We love you so much and in a few days with God's permission, us 3 will be together as a family.

Date to be induced


I can't believe we finally have a date to go and be induced! When I got the phone call. I did feel a bit nervous to know that it makes it that much closer for us to have our baby. I was told to go in right at 37 weeks, June 21 at 8pm!! It makes me so much more real! With God's permission, in 2 more weeks, we'll be heading to the hospital. Doctor says I can try giving birth vaginal, I automatically expected a section but I know that can change at any second. I'm nervous of my bp getting to be to high when I go to the hospital from the nerves but dr says I'll be given medication and the epidural helps with the blood pressure. I can't wait to deliver and feel like the hardest part is over. Luis is so excited and I know he can't wait to hold our little mister. It's been 7 weeks having pre eclampsia and i feel so grateful that we've been able to make it this far, even if it's been extremely hard. I know when I see my sons face here and us getting to hold him, it'll be all worth it.
