Week 38

The word for Week 38 is UNCOMFORTABLE.  This little baby is taking up every inch of my insides.  Sleeping is near impossible, my belly is so heavy and Im waking up anywhere between 4-6 times a night to potty.  The heartburn is nearly constant.  


Week 38 is also the unexpected early end of my pregnancy!

At Week 36 we found out baby is breech, Week 38 we confirmed  again via ultrasound that baby was not turning on his own.   

I received a lot of advice from friends and family hoping to help me avoid a c-section.  Funny thing about it all was that from the minute my doctor said the "C" word I was at peace.  What I knew was that God was orchestrating the perfect way in which my baby was supposed to enter into this world and if surgery was that way, that was OK by me.

I think once we confirmed he was breech I realized he'd been sitting that way in me for several weeks.  I just hope his head doesn't have any weird smushed parts seeing as I've been poking at it thinking erroneously it was his baby butt!  

I guess this is nature's way...make it so icky for mommy at the end that all she wants to get.this.baby.out!  I cannot imagine if he came at 41 weeks, I would have been one hot mess.

So...here we are, Week 38... 6 days until our baby will make his debut!
