May Be the Last Week...

So, it looks like this will be my last full week of being without a baby. As of this upcoming Saturday I will be 39 weeks and we will be having my c-section before I am 40 weeks. I am really nervous about the whole idea of surgery, a new baby, being without my husband, and trying to be a good mom. 

I am happy that this pregnancy for the most part has gone really well. I have never felt really bad, I've never wanted the pregnancy to just be over, and overall I was pretty healthy (except when I went home for Thanksgiving). All things considered of the information we were given in the beginning of this pregnancy I am thrilled that it all has gone so well. My migraines haven't been that bad, I did not get MMR even though I am not immune, I did become more anemic but that was quickly fixed by iron pills, and my asthma has not acted up except for when I was sick & couldn't breath due to stuffiness. 

According to the ultrasound I had last week to check the position & space of the baby Jude is still breech and has little to no room to move. He is squished up near my ribs and has his little feet on my left hip area most of the time. Also, I guess he has a wonderful looking liver and is doing great practicing breathing. I always love when the people doing the ultrasound comment on how wonderful our son's organs look. 

This week also happens to be Valentine's Day... a very sad day since my hubby is not here to be with me, but I know that he will be happy with his care package of Valentine's Day goodies and I will be happy with my Valentine's letter. I plan to take the day to enjoy a little pampering to include a hair cut (just a trim so  I can still pull back my hair still) and a pedicure. Super excited about it! 

Now I just need to live up my last week and avoid going into labor before the c-section! :)
