At this point, I am so happy to still be pregnant. If I should go into labor for any reason, I probably won't have to go back to WMC! I am so thrilled with that. Even if Junior had any type of trouble, he would be taken to St. Luke's in Newburgh which is so much closer than Westchester.
I had an appointment yesterday. Everything looks good, no signs of pre-eclampsia. My weight gain is good, about 28 pounds to this point. The doctor thinks the baby is about 5 to 5 1/2 pounds, which for the mother fo a preemie, is huge! He thinks the baby will be between 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 pounds at birth. I am really feeling crowded inside. I am not sure how much more he can grow in there. I am not complaining though. I know how hard it was to stay pregnant to this point and each day is a blessing. When I was watching Mia in the NICU for 6 weeks, I swore a vow to myself that I would never complain about the end of pregnancy because the physical discomfort that I would feel is nothing compared to the pain of seeing her little body hooked up to machines and tubes and wires and not being able to hold her or feed her.
My c-section is scheduled for 4 weeks from today. It is hard to believe how fast that is going to come up. I am not wishing it to go faster because this is the last few weeks we have to devote solely to Mia. We are doing a lot with her and cherishing every moment. She is such a cute little ham! She loves to play on her swing set and play with Hank. We are excited to see how she acts this Halloween since she is old enough to enjoy it! I will have many pictures out!
Here's to praying for another week...
