We visited the OBGYN for the last time before next week's surgery. The appointment began with the sonogram. Baby girl is lowering into position head down. Haha, she wasn't shy; She moved and bumped the sono techs reading device. Her current estimated weight is 6 lbs 9 oz. Last time we had a sonogram (4/15, I think) she measured 4 lbs +. Her growth is above the average of 1/2 lb per week. If this trend continues for one more week she may be above 7 lbs at birth... even with being weeks early! Advanced movement, growing fast, and getting in position - seems like she's getting ready too :)
As for mama, I am pretty stationary these days. I use stairs as little as possible, I haven't driven anywhere since my baby sprinkle/shower on Sunday (which was awesome!! - more to come on that :))... I lay and sit as much as I can to minimize pressure, pain, numbness (new as of yesterday), and indigestion/heartburn/nausea. I started to read Strategies for a C-Section Mom. Given a little time to process as well as attend my hospital's c-section class, ask my doc questions, consult my friends and family with experience in this area, and talk to Rick I actually feel like I'm pretty prepared.
Excited to meet my youngest baby girl - next Thursday!!!!
You were as prepared as well as could be... Glad you took it easy and suggestively got to the 15th without a hitch... Yes, we all were eager to meet #3 baby girl!
