This is the last weekly picture that I get to take before we get to meet our little daughter! Tomorrow is the day, we are scheduled for a c section at 9:30am and have to be there by 7:30am! I am so anxious and rarely slept last night!
How Far Along: 39 weeks, won't make it to 40 - scheduled to meet our little girl at 9:30am tomorrow morning!!!
Size of baby: The size of a winter melon, about 20 inches long and anywhere from 7 to 9 lb.. I am very curious to see how big our little girl is, looks like she could be big but it could also be the way she is laying inside of me.
Gender: It's a BABY GIRL - Madelyn Ella!
Maternity Clothes: Nothing really fits me anymore. Even my maternity clothes. They do but they are mostly nice and tight. I even am sick of wearing yoga pants...ha!
Movement: Movement has slowed a bit. I can definitely feel her little head up high in my abdomen all the time and feel that moving around slowly often, I see it too. But no big kicks or anything.
Sleep: Sleep is sporadic. I do sleep but I am constantly waking to pee and move from one side to the other. Last night was awful as I'm just getting so anxious and felt like I was pretty much awake from 3:30am on. Finally got up around 6:20am even though I didn't have to work today, I got up with Ryan.
Symptoms: Major heart burn. I have to take a Pepcid before bed time every night or else that keeps me up, along with my Tums next to the bedside. My stomach has been quickly adding to the stretch marks that started about a month ago and the lower half of it itches like crazy! Nothing all too nuts though, sore legs, fatigue and what not but I would say my symptoms haven't been awful. I have been having Braxton Hicks or true contractions off and on for the last week or more. Dr. Kim didnt' think I"d make it until tomorrow and I was hoping I wouldn't too! I've been waiting for my water to break. I'll have contractions one day every hour, the next day every five minutes for about a half hour and then nothing the third day. Very frustrating to get my hopes up and then to have them stop. I stopped getting excited and had to tell myself that it was just going to be Tuesday the 24th.
Dilation: I am unsure. The second week that they internally checked me I went from nothing to one cm dilated but they stopped checking me after that since I was scheduled for my c section. Although, it would have been nice knowing.
What I miss: My pre preggo body, sleeping at nigh (although I know this is just the start of it :-)).
Cravings: Nothing too crazy actually. Ice cream maybe?
What I am looking forward to: Meeting Maddie tomorrow!!!!!
