39 Weeks, Last Bump Post

Well tomorrow is the big day. We are about as ready as we can be, but I'm still very anxious and scared about the delivery. I'm just trusting in the Lord to see us through tomorrow and hopeful for the best possible outcome, which is healthy baby and healthy mommy. The last 9 months have been challenging, but overall I feel like this pregnancy was a lot better than when I was pregnant with Hannah.

Speaking of Hannah, she's sick today. This only adds to my anxiety. We are taking her to the doctor this morning. Hopefully she will be better tomorrow. Please pray that she will be. The plan is to drop her off at day care in the morning and then head to the hospital. This might be a problem if she's still running fever.

We also got disappointing news at the doctor's office yesterday about the anesthesiologist. The two people my doctor recommended will not be working tomorrow. It's very disappointing since this is the thing that went so wrong with Hannah's delivery and the thing I'm most scared about. I really don't know who will be doing it at this point so I'm feeling very nervous about the whole thing. I really want to be awake for the delivery and experience his birth since I was put under for Hannah's. I'm really trusting God is in control of this and will provide the perfect person to administer the spinal.

(I have no bump photo edited. I took one but couldn't upload it. I'll come back and do it later). 

Here’s what’s happening in Week 39:

Weight Loss/Gain? Over 32lbs total. I'm okay with it.

Cravings: Christmas cookies and hot chocolate.

Miss Anything? Nope. Just ready to be on the road to recovery and back to my old self. 
 
Gender: BOY!!! Hudson Jacob Hughes

Favorite Moment this Week: Getting everything ready for little boy's arrival.
 
Sleeping: Not so good. I'm sure I won't sleep much tonight either.
 
Stretch Marks? Yes. Boo :( 
 
Labor Signs? He dropped significantly in the last week and his head is really low. I'm 3cm dilated and ready to go.

Maternity Clothes: Yes. Can't wait to wear regular jeans and pants again. It's the simple things in life like buttons and zippers that you take for granted when your not pregnant. Ha!

Baby Movement: He moves a lot especially at night. He always has hiccups and I usually feel lots of body parts sticking out all over the place. 

Most looking forward to: Meeting this sweet boy tomorrow!!! I'm trying to stay positive, but can't wait til this surgery is all over and I have him in my arms. 

Next time I post we will be the proud parents of two beautiful children. I'll post pictures soon :)
