THE CSECTION COUNTDOWN
Only 21 Days or 3 weeks...I'm cheating and typing out this blog while I have time.
Size of Baby:
According
to the bump.com, she's still in the 17.2- to 18.7-inch and 4.2- to 5.8-pound range and continues to beef up. She's the size of a honeydew melon.
According to huggies, baby looks something like this......
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was up +15 at my OB appointment last Thursday. So much for not gaining more than 10 lbs. Oh well, I'm hungry and eating.
Maternity Clothes: My wardrobe consists of up sized scrub pants, maternity/up-sized old navy tshirts, and a few maternity jeans and shirts.
Gender: They keep saying girl, so we're going with it.
Belly Button In/Out: It's still in. It is getting tight though.
Stretch Marks: They're here and here to stay.
Labor Signs: I had a few pretty fierce contractions Saturday, but nothing since. That's ok. We want a fully cooked baby, anyways.
Movement: I've really noticed her slowing down over the last few days. I still feel her 10000 times per day, but I can tell she's getting crowded. My organs are getting crowded. We're just hanging in there.
Sleep: is getting more difficult. I'm getting up around 3:30 -4:00 A.M. probably 1 out of 3 nights right now. Last night was one of them.
Cravings/Aversions: Bring on the Mexican food. Exactly what I never ate while pregnant with HC. In fact, I was thinking earlier that I hoped the Mexican restaurant was open for lunch. I then remembered it was Christmas.
Symptoms: I'm still staying fairly nauseated. I was convinced I was going to throw up yesterday morning. Also, my boobs are KILLING me.
Feeling: I feel ok, but I do have moments where I'm over pregnancy. Mostly, I want baby girl to be fully cooked and make her appearance when she's ready or on January 15.
Best Moment this Week: We announced a name to our family, but I haven't decided when to go internet public with it yet. Also, HC's Christmas was AWESOME!
What I Miss: Still beer. And Sleep.
What I am Looking Forward To: Meeting another awesome baby girl!
Milestones: 8 days until full-term.
Next Appointment: I have my anesthesia pre-op on Dec. 31 and my next OB appointment on Jan. 7.
