You read right, this girl is getting induced. How do I feel about this? Well, to be honest I never thought I would go for it but I am here and looking forward towards an end.
It is 60% looking forward to being done and 40% just hoping I do not have to medicate my baby through this event.
With this news, it does come along with the knowledge that I will be eating hospital thanksgiving dinner. I will not be released until Friday morning. Am I bummed, oh for sure. BUT, I will be with family and our little person will be here too SO I will be so thankful this year.
When is this happening? Tuesday night 10p into Wednesday. Can I ask for each of you to pray for me to not have to get to Tuesday and be induced? Thanks! Why is this happening? I have measured large my whole pregnancy and my doc feels like being that I could ACTUALLY be 41 weeks, we are not going to press the limits.
Today I walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill and got a induction massage with some money we have saved for this time. The walk was just fine but the massage was beyond wonderful. I got so relaxed and feel so relaxed to do this last 5 days as a prego momma. So surreal to think about that, we only have 5 days left until Gibby is here.
So. Many. Emotions.
On another note, I just got done with working yesterday. I work until my due date and I am happy I did. I was totally capable of it and we were able to keep the funds coming longer than we thought. Babies are expensive I hear so I am thankful for the time I had to keep my mind off reality and continue to help my co-workers and clients.
Thinking about that, if you are lonely, need to talk, bored, or just think about calling me... do it on Monday or Tuesday because I will be sitting here waiting or will have a baby to introduce you to.
Our crib is 100% done. I mean it is up, it is ready to hold a child and decorated with cute items for the babes. My husband did such a great job, it was totally worth it but he said he will never build something to that magnitude in an apt again... tough on the wife, back, and cleanliness of our home. We spent Saturday cleaning up all the dust and messes around the house and it feels oh so good. This babe is going to be so welcomed into this home and cannot wait to bring Giblet home.
I am not showing you the crib until baby is here, I just want to reveal it then, okay?
Lots to update you on but nothing as exciting as this baby will be born by the time you read the next blog, you are welcome.
Week 40
- Baby Gibster is the size of a Jackfruit. Yeah, IDK what that is either. I do know that baby is for sure 8 lbs and is for sure 19 inches. I can guarantee this baby is large and very much in charge. What baby would be so content in this body without being a beach bum of a kid.
- Lungs are breathing in the amnoitic fluid and what ever else.
- Hair and nails continue to grow while safely in Ma.
- I am addicted to eating food but not large quantities. I have been losing weight-ish. It is totally normal.
- I have more energy this week than I have since getting to the third trimester. Feels weird because I am oh so large but I last longer than Caleb at night and I wake ready to conquer the day. Praise Jesus and pray to Jesus that this will last all through labor and delivery. One can believe, so I will.
- No real contractions but SO many braxton hicks. I am only dilated a cm as of today but they said that could change in a matter of hours so I am not disappointed in the progression.
You're all belly girl!!
