39 Weeks

My friend Kim, who had promised to take newborn pictures, took pregnancy and family pictures instead when she learned we were moving before my delivery. I thought that was very thoughtful. Here's me at 37 weeks. I can't imagine I've gotten much bigger since then, but I certainly feel more uncomfortable!

My appointment Wednesday was a lengthy one because I'm new to the system. I had to fill out all my health history. Thank goodness Cory was home so I didn't have to take Brady. I learned about the hospital, Good Samaritan for those interested, and I was happy to hear they have an anesthesiologist there 24 hours a day. I learned that the further I go past my due date, the lower the chances of a successful VBAC. It makes sense, so I'm trying to accept the idea of a c-section, which is all I know anyway. To be honest, the thoughts of going into labor kind of scare me. I just can't imagine it actually happening, but we'll see. They won't induce me so I only have the two options. The NP checked me and said the baby is lower than she thought considering how high Brady was. My next appointment is Thursday, the day after my due date. I suspect I will then schedule a c-section date in case I don't go into labor on my own before then.
