19 weeks today!

Wow - we're practically half way done with this pregnancy! I seriously cannot wait for Owen to get here :) I'm so anxious to meet him & learn all about his little personality! Since we found out that our little one is Owen, the change in our connection with him has been HUGE - being able to call him by name and give him an identity makes him seem so real :) This week, Owen is approximately the size of a Mango!

We have our next pre-natal visit on Thursday afternoon and hopefully it should be uneventful...just a weight, BP, urine, uterine growth and FHR check. Although, Cory and I plan to start a discussion with our OB regarding delivery plans due to the risks of lovenox/heparin & the risks from being positive for lupus anti-coagulant. From what I've read there is a higher risk for pre-eclampsia, which is something I'm very concerned about. Being the eternal care provider and a stubborn patient, I've had a very hard time just letting others care for Owen and I, ha! Ideally, what I would like to have done is either an induction or scheduled C/S at 37wks to help prevent complications from arising should we wait for spontaneous labor to start.
