I had a doctors appointment today and Stephen went with me. I hadn't made any progress since last week which really surprised me. I have been having so many contractions that I was sure something was happening, but nope! My doctor said she thinks that I will end up having a c section. His head is very large and my pelvis is small and the position he is in right now doesn't look good. I was really disappointed to hear that, but things change every week so you never know! And in the end, our baby will be here and that is all that matters. She did an ultrasound and measured his head and it is big! She also said he is 8 pounds right now! Yikes! That could be off by a half pound either way. Everything looked really good though, so as long as he is healthy, I am happy!
This picture keeps messing up, but it hides my extremely large behind, so I'm going to stop worrying about it!
How Far Along: 38 weeks
Size of baby: As long as a leek
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 12 pounds- somehow I got messed up somewhere but I looked at my chart at the doctors office and I have gained 12 ponds total my entire pregnancy. I didn't gain any weight this week.
Maternity Clothes: I only wear maternity clothes now.
Gender: BOY!!! Stephen Earl Prather III
Movement: Yes, he moves a lot. It is a little different now though. It feels more like he is just rolling or stretching versus kicking, etc. I don't think there is much room in there for him to move much!
Sleep: I haven't been sleeping good this week. I am in a lot of pain when I get in bed and anytime I get up to go to the bathroom I just hurt. When I wake up I still hurt. But it won't be long!
What I miss: I am so ready just to feel normal again. I want to be able to walk fast, just jump up and do something, be able to stand for more than 30 minutes, etc.
Cravings: Nothing really
Symptoms: Heartburn, swelling, frequent bathroom trips, contractions
Best Moment this week: Seeing the baby on ultrasound and knowing we are not far from meeting him!
