Well I know it has been AAGGEEESS since I last posted but basically it has gotten crazy busy at work so I really haven't had time! Plus not a whole lot has happened since last I don't think!
But yep - 33 weeks today which is exciting! Weird to think baby can come pretty much any time from 4+ weeks (if he decided to make an early appearance) I'm not sure whether I think he will come early or late! I've felt early this whole time but I wonder if that is just wishful thinking!!!
2nd last day of work too!! I'm so pumped to be at this point! I can not wait to finish up and then be able to get stuff done without the hassles of work in the way!! hehe I've so much cleaning and non baby related stuff to do that it's so hard when I only have 1 day a week off (Weekends are for socialising! haha)! So going out for lunch with some work buddies today then tomorrow will have a whole office lunch!
4th Antenatal class last night - was really interesting and confronting! We watched a dvd of a Csec being done and saw the FORCEPS! HOLY CRAP!!!! They are HUGE!! Hope I wont' need either! Poor Peter fot so squirmish watching the csec being done! But has promised he'd still come in and just sit behind the screen if it came down to it! Bless him!! I'm completely loving the classes though! Can't believe there is only 2 left!!
Scan this coming Monday night to check the approximate growth of little man which will be interesting! I don't have any fat on my belly so he is so sharp and pointy!! But I wonder often how big he is and whether he takes after his dad (12p) or me (6p 11oz)!
Umm.... otherwise he is just a wriggly worm constantly! I feel him all day every day! It's incredible! But also lets me know that he is yet to engage - which at this point is fine!! He's a wriggle monster and I love it! Will be weird when he is out and I no longer feel him in my belly! I will miss it as I don't have too many painful hits!!!
Not sure if I mentioned it but last week we did a tour of the maternity ward and I saw that not only do we have showers to use but they also have a bath which I am pretty pumped about!! I think I will take full advantage of that!!!
I can't believe how quickly the time has gone!!! I can't WAIT to bring him home!!
OMG! C-section is brutal! I got see one in the flesh when I was going the obstetrics placement. Couldn't believe it when these two doc where literally tearing at this poor women with their hands like a set of lions! Total WTF moment! Having said that as brutal as it looks, it does promote haemorrhage control and better healing afterwards compared to a 100% slice job!
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely my last line of defence in labour though. I think I'd be hugely stressed being awake for it!
Didn't get to see forceps but did see a vacuum baby. It was kinda funny cause the suction cap is soooo tiny! Wouldn't think it could be used to drag out an entire baby but it was pretty darn effective!
Anyhow, we must be due another bump shot soon surely??
