Baby Lyle's due date is just 30 short days away!!! Am I ready? Sure :-/
Emotionally and physically I cannot wait for our little one to arrive! I am so excited to see if we have a son or daughter that is going to change our lives forever. My body feels like it has been taken over by an alien...each time Baby moves I try to decipher what body part it is. I am getting pretty good at it thanks to the constant hiccups guiding me to where the head is located. At today's appointment we found out that Baby is not positioned correctly, so next week we have another ultrasound to see if a C-section will be need....please pray that Baby turns head down!!!! HG has come back with a vengeance, so I have upped my meds again and it seems to be helping with the nausea...but the only true cure is having the baby!
As far as the nursery and house being ready...nope! While we have everything we need...diapers, wipes, carseat, crib, clothes, etc...we don't quite have it all organized yet. My dad is making our dresser and shelves, so until then everything is placed in baskets and in the closet. It works, but just not 100% ready for Baby. I spent the day yesterday cleaning and ironing (seriously who irons baby clothes?!)...the ity bity clothes and blankets are so cute. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that we will be using all that stuff in just a few short weeks!
I feel so incredibly blessed to have made it 35 weeks (almost 36 weeks), but now I am ready for the pregnancy to be over! I am sure there will be times where I miss being pregnant, but the end result will be so much better!!
I totally ironed Evelyn's clothes before she was born. First and last time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope Baby turns around on his/her own! We even went into the hospital to try and turn Evelyn when she was breech, but she had (and has) a mind of her own and stuck with her own plan. A scheduled c-section isn't bad though - it's the one and only thing you can plan! Healing takes longer, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. One piece of advice - have your mom stay with you when James goes with Baby. I was in recovery all by myself for over an hour while Kevin went with Evelyn, and it was so awful and emotional. So tell them that you want your mom in recovery with you.
