37 weeks and 1 week left

Hello - had an ultrasound this morning. The ultrasound machine estimated that she weighs around 6lbs 11 ozs. - a lot smaller than Daniel! Dr. D did discuss with me about doing a vaginal delivery since she is a lot smaller then Daniel. He did say however that there comes a lot of risks and complications with a vaginal delivery after a c-section because most women end up with another c-section anyway and the chances of infection is greater along with clotting. One risk that really stuck with me is if my uterus were to rupture the chances of loosing the baby is pretty high and of course I don't want to take any kind of risk like that. With her being that small she will prob weigh somewhere what I weighed when I was born. I was 7lbs and 4 ozs and I will probably end at the same weight gain as my mom. She gained only 20lbs with me and I am at 17lbs - but she also went 10 past her due date. 1 more week and we will see our new little baby!

36 weeks

Hello everyone! I got a new camera yesterday...here is me at 36weeks and 3 days. So far I have gained a total of 15lbs. I lost a pound at the last appt - not sure how I did it but I did. We are still set to have a c-section 1/29. Doc did say if I do happen to go in on my own that he will go a head and do a c-section anyway. He said that I am measuring small but still thinks she is a good size baby. I have not dilated any and I will not have anymore of those kind of exams because he doesn't want to stir up any hormone that would induce my labor.

Last weekend we had my shower and it came out beautifully! She is all set to be here thanks to everyone's generous gifts. I had a great time!

In less than two weeks and she will be here. Good bye for now!
