Our first pictures together with mommy, daddy, and Jack! We can't wait to get home to introduce Jack to his big brothers. That should be soon...I'll be discharged either April 1 or 2.

38 Weeks - The Home Stretch
How many weeks? Guess who’s 38 weeks along? Me! Can you believe it?!?
(Excuse the look on my face. It was late, and I was really tired. This is the latest picture I have. We're taking an updated 38 week picture tonight.)
By last estimation, Baby Lo was between 7 pounds 10 ounces - 7 pounds 14 ounces (at my 36 week scan). They say he should gain at least a pound between then and the time I deliver.
Which is Wednesday, March 30, people! 4short days from now.
He should be at least in the 8.5 to 9 pound range when he arrives. Had I kept him in until 40 weeks, he'd likely have made it to 10 pounds or more. Yikes!
How am I feeling? I am so glad that I finally went on disability and am no longer working. It is really getting hard to breathe. I tire pretty easily now, too. Other than that, I am feeling good overall.
Well, maybe I should say I feel good except for the panic I feel when I think about actually having a real, live baby in the house again in less than a week. Lol. What do people do with a newborn baby who hasn't been in the hospital for three months before he comes home?
Doctor’s Appointment? I had two appointments this week. The first one was on Tuesday. I had a rough night with plenty of contractions and my back was killing me. They hooked me up to the monitors and found that sure enough, I was contracting every 6 minutes. There was no dilation, thankfully, so they gave me a shot of terbutaline to calm things down. Even though that drug is from the devil himself (ugh, it makes me shaky and jittery), it did its job and the contractions stopped for the most part. Yeah. I went home and slept for most of the day, though.
The second appointment was on Wednesday for my pre-op consultation. Everything is all set for my c-section at CMH.
Weight Gain? 28 pounds, and from Isaac says, it looks like it is all baby. You wouldn't know I was pregnant if you saw me from the back only.
See?
Stretch Marks? Not a single one. Jealous? :-)
Maternity Clothes? Um, yes. It's either that or Isaac's XL t-shirts. I have reached the stage where the bottom of my belly still hangs out if I am not careful. I feel like I am always tugging my shirts down to cover all of my belly.
Baby Preparation? I have finally gotten into gear and started on the baby's room (nothing like the last minute). My mom came over on Friday and we painted it a pretty soft green. The furniture arrives tomorrow. We'll also put the crib together tomorrow. Clothes are washed. Blankets/sheets/etc are ready to go. Diapers are purchased.
My bag is packed for the hospital.
Now all we need is for Wednesday to get here, and we're going to have ourselves a BABY!
