 From behind you can't tell I'm even pregnant !

 38 weeks front

38 weeks side

Our 3 appointments went well again this week. 

Ultrasound

Cami is still practicing her breathing getting ready to enter the world and take her first breath of air. She's moving around as much as she can but there's not much room left in there.

Stress Test (NST)

Showed 4 contractions, but nothing consistent or anything to get excited about, no birthing center visit for us this week.

Doctor's Check Up

Everything remained the same as last week as far as head position and cervix thinning out.  BUT we were given our c-section date and time which could potentially be Cami's Birthday if she doesn't decide to come earlier.  We're schedule for c-section (and cyst removal) June 15, 2012 at 8:45am and will need to be at the hospital at 6:45am to check in and prep.  When the Dr. was measuring my stomach and feeling around she says, "Man, this baby is really packed tight in there huh?" Uhh yup. :)

We'll have to take 3 trips to the hospital next week.  (1) Tuesday, Ultrasound to check on the cyst (2) Thursday, blood work and additional paperwork, and (3) the best trip, to welcome Cami into the world and outta my belly!

This past week has been rough physically and emotionally.  Physically my back is KILLING me and my feet have randomly started to turn purple and blue (Dr. said this is normal and is caused by where baby is positioned in my belly). I'm limited to the amount of time on my feet and to someone who can't sit still like me this is hard to handle.  Emotionally, well....I'm hormonal what do you expect?  I'm happy, sad, excited, scared you name it! 

We might get one more week of belly photos and updates, it's all up to Cami.  She might want to come out earlier than Friday, but one thing is for sure, she is in charge....just like she's been the entire pregnancy and will be the rest of my life :)

Until next week....
