What I am craving : Dole Peaches! Yummy Old Dutch BBQ chips.

What’s happening with me : Well I’m still working. I have 3 days left. To be honest I really don’t know how I’ll feel being at home all the time. I’m sure once our little girl arrives it will be wonderful!

We just found out that our baby is as stubborn as I am! She is breech, head up high holding her feet right up against her face! Now that doesn’t seem very comfortable at all. So we have a scheduled c-section in 11 days. I am not looking forward to this extended hospital visit that’s for sure. I have had so many mixed feelings about it as well. We just found out to get a private room is going to cost enough as well, but in the long run I think it will be money well spent. They plan to do one more ultrasound the evening of our c-section as well, and just in case she has managed to turn herself they will hold off and send us home until labor starts. I really hope we find out she turns before the day of, or else she just stays put because I think being sent home would be pretty discouraging after being prepared, and expecting things to happen. Then back to the waiting game! That would blow.

Just a heads up for friends and family reading this, I would appreciate our privacy while in the hospital, we would love to hear from you after we have returned home. Until then we would like to be left alone for many reasons. Under different circumstances we would have loved to have you visit. With being a c-section, and flu season, we rather keep things very, very quiet!

11 days and counting………. Ohhh we also found out that she weighs about 5lbs 6oz

Weigh in : 137 lbs for a total weight gain of 29 lbs.

The baby : You are considered full-term now and your baby’s final touches are being made. The crown-to-rump length of your baby is now 14 inches and the total length is around 21 inches. Your baby weighs approximately 6.5 pounds. Your uterus may be measuring about the same as it has been and is probably about 6.5 inches from the top of your bellybutton.

This week your baby should engage into your pelvis. If this is not your first pregnancy, it may happen later. When your baby engages, his head drops down into your pelvis and you might feel a slight sensation called `lightening` as the pressure on your ribs eases. As your baby drops into the final position for delivery, you may experience a buzzing feeling and shooting pains in your groin and leg. Normally, you will be able to breathe and eat easier. However, your uterus pushes down harder on your bladder and you will have an increased urge to urinate more frequently. Even if your baby engages now, you still possibly feel his feet in your breastbone around week 40.

Your baby is now fully mature and ready to be born. However, your baby is still growing and developing every day. Fat is still be laid down at a rate of a half ounce a day. If this is your first pregnancy, you can expect to deliver closer to 40 weeks or shortly thereafter. If this is not your first baby, you might go earlier than 40 weeks! Make sure that your bags are packed for the hospital and remember to preregister for admission.
