Well, here we are 37 weeks in. At my appointment this week my doctor seemed alarmed at how big I was measuring. Let's keep in mind that I have always measured 2 weeks small so this was quite a shock to hear. I mean, my ribs have been feeling it but I'm a pretty small package to be carrying a baby anyhow. The doctor sent me to ultrasound where we found out that our little lady is:
*Breech
*Big headed
*Weighing 7 lbs. 8 oz. according to the ultrasound tech, the doctor thinks she's at least 8 lbs.
*Stubborn, she refused to take her hands down from her face for a picture.
*Super Active- every technician has commented on how active this girl is.
So, it has been decided that a cesarean is the way to go and I can't say that I disagree. I have felt like I would end up going the c-section route the entire pregnancy and was honestly relieved when the doctors suggested it. I have a lot of factors working against me to go the other route.
The new ward (church) that we are attending so generously offered to throw me a baby shower. Since we have been so abundantly showered with gifts of every kind I asked that it be a diapers and wipes shower. Up until the shower we had only been gifted one pack of diapers and one pack of wipes so we needed them.
Here is a shot of the spread...well, some of it. These ladies here really know how to throw a party. Everything was beautiful.
How precious are the napkins that were handmade for the shower? I have never seen so much effort put in to a napkin before.
We played some games, games that involved candy...you can't go wrong!
And at the end of the night this is some of the loot that I ended up with. I am still overwhelmed by the generosity of so many people that barely know me. We are loved!
