My friend, Erin and my sisters had a baby lunch for me early in July to celebrate our upcoming arrival. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to have everyone together to celebrate our little guy.
Speaking of baby, Dominic and I went today to the doctor for my 37 week check up. Had an ultra sound done to check his size and it looks like he's growing well. As of today, he is 6 pounds and 13 ounces. (I delivered Giana at 37 weeks and she weighed 5pounds, 3 ounces) so we've decided to go with a c-section so I don't break my tail bone again. My blood pressure is rising so we spent some time in labor and delivery to make sure we were both OK. All is going well but they may induce at any time. I've been instructed to take it easy for the next week in hopes that I can carry him to 38 or 39 weeks. It's day to day at this point but I feel good and I'm certain we'll have a healthy baby. My emotions are up and down. I'm ready to get on with this, yet very afraid of the pain, IV (don't laugh!), spinal and recovery. It's all worth it and we can't wait to meet our baby!
