Okay okay....so I'm not really in the home stretch, but I like to pretend I am! The nurse today at my doctor's appointment said, "Oh, you're 29 weeks! When you get to the 30's that's when you can start counting down!" Is it a problem that I already started counting down?? My doctor said, "Well, you're doing great and everything looks great, you're 31 weeks!" Ummm....wait...29? 31? Huh? Maybe he was going by size? Because by his size, he is 31 weeks big.....but I'm really only 29. Does that mean I can start the countdown?? Well, too bad, I'm going to anyways....and I think I will take the middle week of 30.
So yay! The countdown begins! 10 weeks to go! I keep wondering whether or not he'll be early. Part of me wants him to be a little early so that I can see him because I'm so anxious! I told Sydni today that I only had one more appointment with my Maternal Fetal Medicine Doctor and she said "WOW!" And then I said that it will only be about 6 weeks after that and we'll see Liam!! She was soooo excited....which made me more excited!!
It's finally hitting Jimmy that it really isn't that far away. When you say "2 months" it does sound kind of long...but with our busy month, 10 weeks will go by fast. Sydni has her 6th Birthday Party this weekend, followed by her sleepover on her birthday next week...then I have 2 doctor appointments the week after, and then before I know it, it will be October, and I will have 6 weeks left! When I broke it down like that, I think he realized....wow, it is really soon, and if he comes a week or two early, it's really really soon!!
I keep watching A Baby Story and that makes me even more anxious (in a good way). I get butterflies, like I'm nervous, which I'm not....and I had to remind myself, that that will be me very soon! I hope that everything goes smoothly this time. My doctor told me today that he predicts Liam will be over 8 lbs. YIKES! I had a hard time delivering Sydni at 7lbs 14oz so over 8 could be tough! And hopefully this time my epidural works! That would definitely make it worse...
AND.....I got an ultrasound yesterday by my other doctor, and he looks great! 3 weeks ago I got one, and he had these weird lines above his lips, so I was thinking cleft lip......but when the doctor went to look again, he had put his hands in front of his face and we couldn't really see anything. He didn't seem worried and thought it was probably just a weird position he was in, and a weird facial expression he was making. So when he checked yesterday, there was nothing on his face! Good to know!!
Okay. so the countdown begins. 10 weeks!
