We had an appointment today along with an ultrasound to see how big our lil man is. I was SO hoping for some good head shots and clear photos but his poor little face was smashed against my uterus :( We did, however, get some great news that he looks 100% healthy, measuring 2 days ahead, weighing in at 5 lbs., and in the 65 percentile for overall size. The doctor is guessing he'll be between 7.5-8.5 lbs. upon delivery. (That sounds fabulous to me- no bigger please!) I had contemplated a VBAC but with much consideration have decided to go with another csection. I had really hoped to have a super fast recovery since this time around we'll have Lakely to entertain, but all I can do is try my best and allow myself to depend on others for help!
I received my surgery papers in the mail last weekend and was shocked to find that it was scheduled for May 4th- MY BIRTHDAY! It's bitter sweet; sure would love for him to have his own day to celebrate, but I guess sharing it with his mama won't be that awful! I tried my hardest to get it changed and to no avail, it's still 5/4 unless he decides to come earlier of course!
Mommy stats:
-Blood pressure good
-Weight gain is 25 lbs.
-Leg cramps at night
-Slight water retention
-Little more tired than last week
-Super hungry all the time
-Still don't have a nursery- Can you say, UNHAPPY MOMMY?! (If the furniture doesn't come by the beginning of next week there WILL be issues, mark my word.) I've been incredibly patient and understanding but this is ridiculous. The doctor has told be to go ahead and pack my bags for the hospital...are you kidding me?! I NEED MY FURNITURE!!!!
