31...or 35 weeks?!?

This has been a crazy week in my pregnant world. My nurse called on Friday to tell me my c-section is scheduled November 29th. She said that that would be 39 weeks. I was in shock because my due date has always been December 31....in which case 39 weeks would be December 24th. Anyways, I see my Dr. on Tuesday and hope to get it all straightened out...I highly doubt they would want to risk me having a 36 week baby so I think they will change it. I just don't understand how things got so mixed up.
All this has made me kind of emotional this week. I question a lot what I'm doing. I don't like the whole c-section thing. I don't like not knowing myself when my due date 'should' be. I don't like not being able to trust my body to labor the way a it 'should' be able to. I wish I just didn't think about it all...but I feel like this has complicated it and it would be easier to know I can just let nature take its course.
I've felt pretty bad this week. I feel sick often. I'm not sure if it is anxiety or what. I just want it to stop! I feel like all my organs are crushed. I get heartburn. My belly runs into things I think I should clear as I go past...I don't realize how far it sticks out. I'm always tired...I have a hard time switching from side to side when I'm in bed now and the night time running back and forth to the bathroom is definitely a workout.
This coming Friday Micah and I will be flying to Iowa for 4 days. It will be a short trip and I hope I get out of the funk I'm in right now so I can enjoy being home with family.
And...here is something I can be thankful for....I still have ankles...

30 weeks

Whoop! 30 weeks!
I feel like the baby has grown a lot this week. We had a growth ultrasound on Wednesday and she calculated the baby to be 2 lb 12 oz.
I am down to very few items of clothing that fit but I don't want to buy any more because I basically stay at home (yay husband's clothes) and I'm only a couple of months away so I don't feel like I can justify getting expensive clothing that I will only wear a few times.
I spend a lot of time on the couch with my belly out (I guess the baby feels constricted in clothes). Anyways Micah likes to come up to me and poke my belly and say 'bebee' although I think he thinks my belly button is the baby and that he and daddy also have a baby.
I still have no swelling. I can't remember when my swelling started with Micah but I know its getting close. Anyways I'm thankful for that because nobody likes calves the size of watermelons.
I am constantly trying to figure out how to organize our little apartment for when the baby comes. I keep coming up with things to change but I get SOO tired so quickly that it usually takes a couple of days to move things around. It is driving me nuts trying to get it perfect.
Ok, all for now...

29 Weeks

Ok...don't make fun...I look like a dork but it is my only picture so...

Hello 29 weeks! I am excited to see my doctor on Tuesday to see if she gotten the 38 week c-section approved.
I've felt busy this last week because we're still getting settled in our new apartment. The unpacking and organizing is so slow with Micah and being pregnant. I'm learning to be ok with that! We have gone to two churches the two weekends we've lived over here. It has been kind of discouraging because it doesn't seem like there are a lot of options here on the east side and with all of them it seems like we will have to compromise something important to us. There is also a lot of pressure to figure something out very soon because I don't have any friends over here and I'm afraid if I don't make some fast I'll end up a friendless hermit with 2 small children going nuts. Church is probably the biggest way I'll meet people and where Micah will interact most with other kids so I hope that we can figure that out soon!
Ok...I wanted to write my weekly update but I feel like I have a lot more to say....so maybe I'll write more this coming week:). Bye for now!

28 Weeks

Happy 3rd trimester!
Yay, hopefully only 10 more weeks before the baby comes if a 38 week c-section is approved. I should know tomorrow about how my glucose test turned out. They tried to call last week but we don't get reception at our new apartment yet so I am anxious to find that out.
I've been sitting around this week being very mentally motivated to put things away in our new apartment but I haven't. I'm just too tired after doing all the normal daily things and chasing after Micah. Yay pregnancy. I'm also sort of an insomniac these days...a very tired, unable to sleep person.
I still feel nauseous most days. Yuck! That is definitely enough to make me want to have this baby sooner than later!
Um...that's pretty much it for now...pretty uneventful pregnancy nowadays...

'28' week appointment...

I had my first appointment of this pregnancy with my old doctor (the one who delivered Micah). I'm very happy to be going to her! At this appointment I had my glucose tolerance test done. Hopefully in the next couple of days I'll get the results of that. I HOPE the results are fine because the next test is really awful (I had to do the second when I was pregnant with Micah). I have officially gained 16.5 lbs. Everything was good with the baby so I am relieved. I get anxious about how he is doing often so it is always good for me to hear his heartbeat and to hear the dr. say he is fine.
I asked about when she wanted to do my c-section. She said the hospital is very strict about waiting until 39 weeks to do them. I think that is a good policy...the longer cookin' the better, but that is Christmas Eve so she said she may be able to move it up a little. We'll see...I would love that but only if it is ok for the baby.
We are in the process of deciding about how we want to go about preventing more kids...kind of a hard thing to figure out and decide. Anyways, we need to decide in the next 2 weeks if I want tubal ligation during my c-section so that we can plead our case with the Catholic hospital. I think its very strange that you have to do that but I guess that's the way it is.
Alright...that's all for now...
