The end is slowly approaching and my hormones are really all over the place. On some days I wake up feeling like my pelvis is not attached to my body and on other days I feel like I could be running a marathon. I am still walking, squats and rolls on the exercise ball. It has helped getting him a little more engaged but I dont think that it has done anything for dilation. Its just as well, I am sure I am one of those women who will carry until a few days before or after 40 weeks.
Dr Kodner ordered an ultrasound which we had done at 38w6d. His approximate weight was 6lbs 11oz. I can't wait to see how far off the ultrasound weight is. The estimate seems about right though, with big brother being 6lbs 2oz, I can't imagine little brother being too far off. Everything else seems good, fluid levels are great, placenta is still intact and his heartbeat was a steady 124bpm.
I have been gung-ho about going for a vaginal but now the idea of a repeat c-section isn't so bad. The body has a way of beating you into submission. With Tete Rue coming to visit in a couple of days, I would hate to be in hospital the whole time that she is here. With any luck, lil squish will come and we can bring him home before she leaves.
