Jack Scott has arrived!!!

I will update a little more with the full birthstory later but Jack arrived on Tueusday, October 4 at 7:12pm. He was 7lbs 5 oz. and 21 inches long. We are so in love and adjusting to time at home with our little guy!

Here are a few pictures:

38 weeks

How far along are you? 38 weeks!
How big is baby? size of a watermelon...u/s last week he was a little over 6 pounds
Weight gain/loss? 30 pounds...I haven't gained any last couple appts but Dr. says that is a good thing bc at this point it is just water retention and we don't want that with my blood pressure issues
Strech marks? Not yet, and I'm kind of shocked about it as big as my belly is
Maternity clothes? Yep...and actually some of those aren't long enough for my belly anymore!
Best moment this week? Today is October 1! Which I have been waiting for October since February!!
Gender? A little BOY, Jack Scott
Movement? He is for sure running out of room and sometimes I wonder if he is going to bust through my belly!
Belly button? Hasn't officially popped yet but it is getting more and more shallow
Symptoms? I feel like a ticking time bomb!!
What do I miss? Nothing right now
What I'm looking forward to this week? Potentially my last Dr. appt! We are inducing on the 12th unless he decides to come on his own earlier!
Milestones? OCTOBER is here!!

Jack's Nursery

37 weeks

Oh my goodness I am considered FULL TERM! So insane to me that we could meet this boy any day!! Excuse the horrible picture. I have actually been put on home bedrest bc of a rising blood pressure so I spend most of my day in bed being very lazy.

Maternity clothes? Yep
Best moment this week? Reaching the full term point!
Gender? A little BOY, Jack Scott
Movement? His movements have turned more into a rolling feeling so I think he is getting cramped in there for sure. He is still breech so he uses my bladder as a trampoline, little stinker! :) I am preparing my self for a c-section. Not ideally what I wanted but whatever gets him here safely. There is still a chance he can move but he seems pretty comfortable where he is.
Belly button? Hasn't officially popped yet but it is getting more and more shallow

Best moment this week? Getting the glider in, I hope Jack likes rocking b/c I can't wait to rock him:)

Movement? This little stinker has currently positioned himself butt down. I hope he moves before he is ready to come otherwise I might be looking at a c-section
Belly button? Hasn't officially popped yet but it is getting more and more shallow

Maternity Photos

Our photographer shared a few of the photos from our Maternity session so I wanted to post some on the blog. I am so happy with the way they turned out and can't wait for her to do Jack's newborn photos!
