Yesterday I had my 38 week ob appointment. They did an ultrasound because they suspected that he was going to be a big baby, and boy is he ever! At 38 weeks he measured in at 8.15 lbs! That's right, practically 9 lbs!!!!! They also mentioned I have a lot of fluid and am getting some calcium deposits on my placenta. They assured me everything was fine, but it was definitely time for him to make his appearance. I have to admit being a little worried about him. I read online that having excess fluid could indicate that there is a problem. But I the doctor told me Sam is fine and I have to assume that if they thought for a second there was a problem that the section would have been scheduled before next week!
Soooo, our little Samuel will arrive on January 23, 2009! I am to get to the hospital at 10:30 am and my surgery is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. . I am really excited and nervous. I can't believe he is soooooo close to being here! In one week I'll be a mommy!!
Work hasn't been bad. It's hard for me to get up and get around, but other than that it has really done me good to be here. I won't even make it back for two weeks before I am off again! I am going to work Monday and Tuesday and take off Wednesday and Thursday to get everything ready. Everything is pretty much ready now, but I guess to try to mentally prepare (if you can do that). Oh, and the ladies at work gave me a shower on Wednesday. It was very sweet and we got some really cute stuff. This baby has had a total of 4 showers. People are definitely excited about his arrival!
I'll post my last belly pics later this week. I am HUGE. But I guess that's what happens when you grow a 9 lb baby! I am just so happy and feel so blessed that everything looks good with him. Please keep my sweet little guy in your prayers.
