For those curious, yes I'm STILL pregnant. We did our gender reveal at 38 weeks and it's a GIRL!
We're stoked to be finishing our family with our first little girl!
Everything has gone very well, despite an elevated Down's test, A/S went very well, absolutely no hard or soft markers for downs or any other trisomy. I have pregnancy-related anemia and am on an extra iron supplement, also have low protein levels, so I'm on a protein supplement as well, but baby looks great! She's still consistently measuring about 5 days behind which may explain her lateness so far.
Due date is tomorrow, and if she hasn't arrived we're setting an induction for 2 weeks out (sept 15), but I fully expect she will come on her own before then.
We haven't set on a name since it's our tradition to wait to see our kids before we name them but the list is:
Alexandria, Kenna, Regina, Eleyna and Marina. I will be sure to post pictures once she's arrived, then I will likely leave the site permanently with no more updates. I hope everyone else is having a great pregnancy and I see some due before me have already delivered their little ones, I am SO jealous but, I do have to say, that after losing one so early, going late feels really good. I feel like my body is actually doing it's job this time, even if it feels like overkill.
Everyone enjoy a safe labor day! I'll be here hoping labor day is MY labor day!
