Almost ready…for baby
I feel like all of a sudden my body is just falling apart. Like my hips are being ripped apart, it is harder to breathe – I am really confused by it becuase I can DO alot of stuff (running around, lifting, etc.) and not get out of breath but sitting down for some reason leaves me breathless. Sometimes i feel like someone is sitting on my chest – so FAB! I feel A LOT of pressure on my stitch – I try not to say much but has become extremely painful.
The baby feels BIG. He is supposed to be about 5.5 lbs – I can’t imagine what a 10 lb would feel like. Scary. I am nervous still – just because I feel like I am so close now and I don’t want anythign bad to happen now! I came so far…..
So I have about 7 days to go! I have my last OBGYN appt tomorrow at 11:15 am ish. I am supposed to get all my instructions for my c-section because it is next monday at my appointment tomorrow.
I can’t believe I am here. I am so ready for our family to be complete, and just to move on from this phase. I can’t imagine what he is going to look like, I can’t imagine having a BABY again. LOL
10 days to go…
Went great except for the fact that I had three children witness and internal. I have some concerns about the boys exposure so young to my legs being spread, a light placed there, and stirrups that look like a torture device. You do realize that they will never remember the countless art projects, baking, days at the zoo that their childhood as contained. It will be that moment – the pap smear like event they witnessed that they will remember clear as day.
Normally my doc does not do them but she wanted me to get the Strep B test for some reason (even though I am delivering via c-section). The kids were great though – thank goodness. Every once in a while God has some mercy!
So I gained 2 lbs in the past 2.5 weeks. So for the pregnancy that puts me at 31 lbs or so. I am fine with that…. Long as i have this baby healthy and happy that is the small stuff! (See how great denial is!?)
The beat was good, I measured at 34 weeks and she told me my cervix is still long and closed..go figure.
I am definetely totally nervous about stillbirth and check the beat a lot more now because i don’t feel as much movement. My doctor said that is totally normal so I am trying not to freak. LOL. I can NOT believe I have about 10 days to go and he should be here!!!!!
