38 Weeks, 3 Days-Doctor Appointment

Well, today was my last weekly doctor appointment! We did the "pre op" with the doc who will do my c section. We both really like her! I've been seeing midwives my whole pregnancy anticipating a natural birth, but since little Miss Thing has a mind of her own and won't turn, we are getting a cesarian instead. NOT what I had planned, but it is what it is. She is *definitely* still breech, but is lookin' good! Her heartbeat is still great and the doctor guesstimated that she weighs between 6.5-7.5 lbs right now :) She also said that her prediction is that she will weigh 7.12 when she's born lol Guess we will see next week! On a side note, my belly has dropped and I can feel that she's not as high into my ribs as she was even a few days ago. I'm kind of nervous about going into labor..they told me SEVERAL times today that if I had ANY signs of labor to go to the hospital immediately. (Since she's breech, it would be a no-no if I went into labor.) 

Although I'm so uncomfortable and quite honestly feel miserable most of the time, I know that I'll miss being pregnant. I love feeling my baby girl move and knowing that my body is able to take care of/grow her. I thank God every single day for giving me the gift of being able to carry a healthy baby. I am so blessed and our little girl is SO loved already.



Our house is still coming along! We now have our kitchen counters in and some shutters on the outside! I honestly don't see us actually closing on May 12, but I could be wrong...



We also bought our new refrigerator AND our new bedroom suite today! Super super SUPER exciting!! Now we just need a couch and a table! 😊
