I decided to do one more "pregnancy" entry. I have my scheduled c-section on Wednesday (I'll be 39 weeks).
Size of baby: Our baby is about 20 inches long and about 7.5 pounds (about the size of a mini watermelon)... we'll see on Wednesday, though! :)
Symptoms: My feet are HUGE! Last week, my feet (especially my right foot) started to swell. My right foot also hurts a little bit (I think from the swelling). However, because of the nice weather we have been having, I've been able to wear flip flops! I've just been feeling more and more uncomfortable, but I'm so grateful that T and I have been able to go on walks... I did not think that would happen in March! Besides having a get up and switch positions during the night, I've actually been sleeping relatively well.
Weight gain: 40 pounds. I gained 10 more pounds than I wanted to during this pregnancy, but it's ok.
Cravings: Pineapple!!! Yum! I've been averaging a few pineapples a week! They are so yummy... and they've been on sale at Walmart. :)
This past Saturday, some girls from church threw me a baby shower! It was such a blessing to us! We are so thankful for our church family and how supportive they are to us. It was fun celebrating baby d and it made it all the more real... we're having a boy!! :)
I can't believe that we're going to have our son in two days (Lord willing). I feel kind of spoiled knowing the day/time our son will get here. I've been "nesting" like crazy... cleaning the house, washing clothes and sheets, getting things organized, etc. I'm so thankful for my parents coming to stay with T, too. It's nice to know that she'll be taken care of (aka spoiled) :) while we're in the hospital.
I know that God is in control of everything that will happen on Wednesday. However, I'm still nervous. I'm the type of person who hates anything having to do with needles, blood, and hospitals. So, the idea of undergoing surgery (while being awake) is not super thrilling to me. The "nice" thing about having an emergency c-section with T was that everything happened so fast... I didn't have time to process it all. This time, I've had months to think/worry about it. I just have to have a healthy perspective, not let my fears control me, and give EVERYTHING over to Him. I know that the end result will be so worth it! :)
