Oh my gosh - what a cutie! He’s a heartbreaker already. So, I thought that the intro Hit It came from the song that goes, “you gotta fight for your right to parrrrrrty” Apparently “hit it” is in a lot of intro’s.

I was induced with Charlie, and will likely be induced this time around as well. With Charlie I was having kidney issues and it was either hard core narcotics until delivery, or inducing at 37.5 weeks. Good thing we went for the induction, because at 6#10ox. he was too large to fit through my pelvis (I am also a whopping 5′2″ on a good day) and we had a failed vacuum attempt and then onto a forcep delivery. All is well that ends well, he was healthy, I was fine and beyond pitocin contractions being out of this world strong it was a fairly easy labor.

I love the u/s photos. Look at those lovely lips. What a pupmpkin!

Take care of yourself Kelly, can’t wait to hear that he’s made it here safely!

wow. so I’ve done some official calculations. If we were to apply your stats to my 6′0 frame, my child would be 17.3lbs at this point and I would be sporting a 9.17′ circumference. You are amazing!

Those are the best ultrasound pictures I’ve ever seen! I haven’t had any since 20 weeks and I’m due TODAY. Boo hoo - no baby yet. I have an US scheduled for next Wednesday, but I’m praying that I will actually see baby in the flesh before then!

Hoping your induction goes well, if you do get one. You have to do what’s best for you and the babe!

Our Ben has the hugest lips too. That’s all we could see on his ultrasound. HUGE LIPS. So cute. Induction isn’t all that bad. Hurts way more but is also way faster. Tit for tat. Funny that youse Americans call it inducement…we Canayjuns say induction. Wierd.
Maybe he’ll come like two weeks early and be all little and cute. Fingers crossed and prayers going up for you guys.
Isn’t it cute that our hubby’s are emailing?

I say go for the induction. I work labour and delivery and was induced for my second and third babies (my first was way worse and it wasn’t induced). Labour hurts no matter how you look at it so if induction gives you the best chance at a vaginal delivery then that is great. Second labours are usually quicker anyways and you can always get an epidural. Good luck! By the way, ultrasounds are not always accurate when it comes to the size of your baby. Most come out smaller.

Why do I have to comment? I wasn’t going to, I promise, and yet here I am in the comment section. I guess if you know anything about me, I do have an opinion. Contrary to the other 20 comments, I say au naturale, if that is even how you spell it! I won’t go into all the detail, since I am clearly not donating my vagina and that was the prerequisite to the opinion forum I would just suggest a little google search of induction risks. I’m stopping there.

As for this blog, I LOVE IT! I think you are stinking hilarious and Chloe is a doll and Ryan seems great. Sounds like you guys are doing so well. I’m jealous you got to see Chrissy-that’s awesome. Keep us updated on little Bennett. I think of the trunk of your Grandpa’s every time you talk about him. I have more photo ?’s for you but maybe I should wait to after baby’s born–or is now a better time? love ya girl!

Handsome little dude he is but then look who his mommy and daddy are. I wish you would post a picture of how you look right now.
My last baby weighed 10.3 and that is when I decided I was done having babies…lol No inducement either. Walked funny for a week.

I just hope your both safe and healthy through it all. I think birth is soooo personal and each one is soooo different - I have three children who came into the world in very, very different ways. I hope you are getting some rest - no more long walks…
