Just a month to go and I’m scheduled to give birth. That is, if the baby doesn’t get any bigger. I was told I am having one that is LARGE FOR DATES. Do you know what that means? Well, simply put, the baby is big… no wait, it’s HUGE! Last week the baby is already 6.5 lbs and 37 weeks in age for it’s size! And I am a petite person so…
My doctor said I should start praying now because we don’t want a C-section but I must go into labor first to find out if I can deliver the baby normally or not. Oh well, gonna have to start praying to St. Rita, Patron Saint of the Impossible.
Aside from that, I also need to go and get my blood sugar checked. It’s not that I’ve been eating a lot lately as I’ve been told to go on a diet and actually I have been exercising (okay, walking around a couple of blocks here in the city) for some time now but my tummy’s getting really heavy now and it’s getting hard to walk. :( I don’t know what else to do now aside from preparing the hospital bag (newborn/baby stuff, my stuff, etc.) Whew!
Check out this list my dear sister-in-law made for me as a guide.
Isn’t she a doll? And I have her to thank for all the baby hand-me-downs from her lil ones so I don’t have to buy so much. Thanks Ish!
I also managed to design a couple of birth announcements and even a draft of the baptism invitations already. Tee hee! Talk about excited! And I just purchased a C. R. Gibson baby book, which I am utterly psyched to fill up with scrapbook style entries. ^_^
Unfortunately at the last doctor’s visit, we couldn’t do a 4D ultrasound anymore because the baby is too big and is squished already and we couldn’t see the face anymore. So this is the only picture I have of the baby inside my tummy when it was still 24 weeks old. Take note, the report says it is already 27 weeks because of the size!
Alright, that’s it for an update. We’re still renovating our bedroom to make way for the additional “two feet" we’re having! :) Will give you a photo tour of the room once it’s all done.
Til then!
