40 Weeks & A C-Section!

How far along: 40 Weeks, 3 Day(s)

How big is baby: Estimated weight is 9lbs 3oz

Total weight gain:  I don't know...I stopped paying attention, haha.

Maternity clothes:  Thank God for stretchy waistbands!

Sleep: HA!  Very funny!

Best moment of the week:  Hearing that I get to meet my baby VERY soon!

Food cravings: My sweet tooth is RAGING right now.....

Food aversions:  Nothing really...that I didn't have an aversion to pre-pregnancy anyways

Symptoms: Heartburn, mood swings, restless legs, pelvic pressure, swelling...etc...

Movement:  lots of rolls and pokes

What I’m looking forward to:  Meeting my son TOMORROW!

What I miss:  Not feeling like my insides are going to come shooting out of me at any moment...


In other News: As stated above...we get to meet our precious baby boy tomorrow!  At my ultrasound 2 weeks ago, we learned that the little stinker has tucked back up into my belly and turned sideways and therefore, refusing to come out the natural way.  SO..tomorrow we will head to the hospital at 7:00AM, for my 9:30AM C-Section to remove him from his comfy confines.  I am both thrilled and terrified at the same time. I cannot wait to see him, and smell him, and kiss him, but at the same time, I know he is getting exactly everything he needs right now inside of me...and after tomorrow, I will be responsible to make sure Jason and I are meeting all of his needs...Scary shit!

This afternoon my hubs and I are heading to "the city" to go have a yummy last meal out as just husband and wife and go to a silly movie before I am banished to a hospital room for the rest of the week.  So, the next time you hear from me I will be a mommy!  I'm not sure when this next post will be, but until then, take care and enjoy the cooler weather!
