I will be thirty eight weeks next week! I've finally finished the nursery, i couldn't decide what i wanted to do so i held off. But since i'm so close to being ready to have him i just threw something simple but cute together. The walls are light grey, and the furniture is white. I added some framed pictures of animals on his wall next to the crib, but far enough that he won't be able to reach them when he gets a little older. His room might be really simple, but i didn't want to do too much to it, because as he gets older he's going to want to change it.


We've also picked out a name for him, packed the hospital bags, so now everything is ready for when little man decides he's ready to enter the world. I have another appointment today, we are going more frequently because there have been some things that the doctor wanted to keep an eye on. Mostly that my uterus hasn't been growing like it's supposed to, she said i have IUGR (Inuteral Growth Restriction) which means that my uterus isn't growing like it's supposed to which means that the baby isn't getting enough room to grow.


I've been super nervous since i found out that i have some complications. I got dressed in a black tank top, black leggings, a red black and green plaid shirt and a black beanie. I just want to be comfortable right now, i feel like a whale so i don't want to wear anything super tight and dressy.


"Babe! Let's go!" I slipped on some flip flops and grabbed my things, i'm so nervous, and i've been on edge non stop. I'm so worried that something is going to happen to my baby.


"I'm ready!" Tad responded. We went and got in the car and drove to the office, the whole way my heart was beating out of my chest. I hope that everything is okay..


After a very anxiety filled 20 minutes we were called back and Dr. Michaels got right into it.. "Here's the baby." Dr. Michael had our baby up on the screen and i couldn't help but giggle and smile at the image. He had one hand on the side of his head, and he has his foot up with his toe in his mouth.


"He's really going to town on that toe of his!" Dr. Michaels laughed in amusement.


"He's so damn cute!" I grinned. She prodded around a little bit and then looked over at me with a look.


"Okay, Mrs. Matthews... I don't want to scare you, but i'm going to have to induce you this week.." She informed me. What the hell does she mean she doesn't want to scare me? Telling me you're inducing me to have my son earlier is going to scare me!


"What? Why? What's wrong?!" I asked my voice shaking in fear.


"What's wrong?! Is the baby okay?" Tadley questioned as he squeezed my hand trying to give me some comfort.


"You know you have IUGR, and that your uterus isn't growing with the baby... Well he has limited space in there and his umbilical chord is wrapped around his neck... I don't want you to go to term with him because if you do there's a chance the umbilical chord will strangle him, and you will give birth to a stillborn..." She informed us. I felt like my throat was tightening up.


"Right now everything is fine, that's why i want to get him out this week so that the complications don't get worse.." She quickly added to try and calm me down some. It didn't work. You can't just lay news on someone like that and expect them to be calm.


"Please, don't let anything happen to my baby..." I begged tears streaming down my face.


"I won't.. I'm going to schedule you to be induced this Wednesday. Kenslea, i promise you he will be fine, this is just a precautionary step..." She assured me.
