Well 38 weeks is here and there is no turning back! This is the last week (well 5 days) I will ever be pregnant again in my life. Im soaking up every last minute of it! All the movements, the hiccups, and just rubbing my belly!
Ashlyn is moving around even though I dont know how because I feel like there is no room left in there. She likes to hang out on the right side of my tummy and loves my ribs, however my ribs do not love her haha
We can't wait to see our precious princess, hold her, love her, kiss her, and just let her be here with us! We will be arriving at the hospital Wednesday morning around 5:30 and C-Section is scheduled to start @ 7:30. Im very nervous about the c-section, even though Ive been through one before, Im still scared out of my mind. Audree's was so rushed and I didn't have time to think, this time I know what to feel, when its going to happen, etc. I know my Dr will take care of me, and Im so thankful I feel so comfortable with him. I trust him with my entire life and health!
How your baby's growing:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
How your life's changing:
For many women, the next couple of weeks are a waiting game. Use this time to prepare your baby's nursery or to take care of necessary tasks you may not get around to for a while after your baby's born. Take naps, catch up on your reading, and spend uninterrupted time with your partner while you can.Some swelling in your feet and ankles is normal during these last weeks, but call your practitioner without delay if you notice excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles, more than slight swelling of your hands, any swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, or have a sudden weight gain. Also let her know immediately if have severe or persistent headaches; visual changes (such as double or blurred vision, seeing spots or flashing lights, light sensitivity, or a temporary loss of vision), intense upper abdominal pain or tenderness, or nausea and vomiting.
How Far Along? 38 weeks
Weight Gained/Loss? Do you really want to know haha Ive put on 9 lbs EEEEEK!
