June 30
The past week has been miserable! I feel like my tummy has tripled in size! I had to move my seat back in my car a notch to make room for me and Jack, and we had to ask for a table rather than a booth at Outback, so depressing. And my wonderful husband has now taken on the role of putting on my shoes. Then we went to our doctors appointment yesterday and my concerns were confirmed! I haven't gained any weight, thank goodness...but my tummy measured 36.5 when only a week ago I measured 32.5! Dr. McIlveen flagged my file, concerned that Jack is going to be too big, so next week I will have growth scan to check his size and then we may have to schedule a c-section...bummer. I think it is weird that I haven't gained any weight in about 3 months but Jack is packing on the pounds, literally!! Before he measured me I had asked him about scheduling an induction so we will make sure my mom and sisters are here, and he said that his only concern for doing that is typically caucasian male babies tend to have the latest lung development, and even when full term it often takes them a little longer to take their first breath when delivered, he said they call them, "whimpy white boys" in the delivery room..hehe! So anyway I guess we will know more on the 14th!

Hey Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI know you hate the idea of having a c-section, because I would have hated it too. But there are many complications in having a large baby vaginally that could prevent you from having more babies later. I know that you are just happy there are ways to make delivery safe for you and Jack. This blog is awesome for keeping us up to date on how you are doing. I think of you often. I sent some professional development information to your mom to send to you via email. I hope you can benefit from it.
Love,
Aunt Terry
