It was an interesting week, but we've come to terms with our new plan to bring our baby girl into the world and are very excited to meet her next Monday (or sooner... fingers crossed!). I had always had the idea in the back of my mind that it was possible to have a c-section, especially since most of the women on my dad's side of the family have had cesareans. It must be the Siltanen family curse! This will be my last week of work and it starts with a day off tomorrow! Hurray! Tomorrow I will be going to meet her pediatrician who is conveniently located less than a mile from our house. Tuesday is our next doctor appointment. We will check to see how my labor has progressed since I had started dilating at my last appointment and we will see if she is still breach... spoiler alert... she is. Her head is resting against my rib cage.
Quick updates:
Accomplishments this week: Scheduled her birthday for January 27, 2014 (weird), finished our last day of our labor and delivery class which no longer really applies to us but it was interesting, cleaned the whole house, began prepping for her arrival by cleaning, shopping, and rearranging things in the house, and relaxed or at least tried to.
Sleep: Wednesday and Thursday night seemed like trial runs for what our new sleep schedule will be like. We had a lot on our minds and I had a lot of contractions and cramping the night after the external version which kept me up most of the night.
Wedding ring: still on!
Weight gain: about 30 pounds
Stretch marks: negative
How I'm feeling: Still pretty good overall. My stomach is a little bruised and tender from all the tugging, but nothing too terrible. My lower back aches, but I'm still able to exercise and continue day to day activities.
