During my pregnancy I have yet to see the same Midwife or Doctor twice. Just one of the joys of military medicine. So when Steve & I asked about a c-section date, she rattled off the standard "oh around 39 weeks" well once I asked her to review my chart and explained (yet again) my delivery with Josiah it was like a light bulb moment for the Dr. No way I was going to go to 39 weeks. She left the room to track down the high risk doctor. After that discussion it was decided that I was having my c-section October 16th! Four weeks from today when I will be 37 weeks and 3 days. Crazy and wonderful. It's nice to finally have a Doctor who is sticking with us and to know who is performing the surgery.
Tired Momma & big belly! I'm measuring two weeks a head so I think we'll have a big girl :)
How far along? 33 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain? A little over 40lbs! Yikes, I lost it all the Josiah and I will lose it all again!
Maternity clothes? Yes and I'm running out of options, good thing I only have 4 more weeks.
Stretch marks? Unfortunately, but they aren't horrible.
Sleep: Not great, I'm restless at night.
Food cravings: Not really craving anything but I look forward to my one cup of ice coffee in the afternoon.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope
Miss anything? Margaritas and wine!!!
Gender? Girl!
Labor signs: Thankfully no.
Have you started to show? Most definitely
Symptoms: Horrible heartburn and my feet and heads are swelling. My hands hurt :(
Belly Button in or out? Flat but when I lay down it's out!
Wedding rings on or off? Off, I'm now wearing my Mother's emerald ring.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy/emotional
Best Moment this week? Finally finding a Doctor who is sticking with us.
Looking forward to anything? Her being here so soon!
I love these updates. You look great and it's almost "over"... now the fun starts- again! I'm praying she's a good sleeper. :)
