I can't believe I am 6 days away from meeting my sweet baby girl. Our repeat scheduled c section is set for Oct. 30th at 12:30 pm.
I have felt so many emotions this week. Im nervous for my c section, excited to meet my baby, a little sad that Tanner won't be the only kiddo in the house anymore.
I know giving him a sibling is such a blessing and gift I just hope our transition from a family of 3 to a family of 4 goes fairly smoothly.
Weight gain- 36 lbs! I did a little better this time, I think i gained between 40-45 with Tanner
Movement - all the time and most of it is fairly uncomfortable
Contractions - Yes : often and uncomfortable but not consistent or regular enough to cause any dilation! (in my opinion if you are having a repeat c/s you shouldn't have to deal with contractions at all)
Swelling - my ankles and feet get pretty swollen after working but they always go back down after sleeping.
I am so excited to:
- breastfeed again!!! it was such a great experience with Tanner and I hope Linley and I will be just as- successful if not even better
- sleep on my stomach, or back, or really any position I want without being in pain
- eat a COLD turkey sandwich
- drink a ICE COLD beer
- be off for all the major holidays, being a nurse working holidays is just part of the gig. But this year it worked out that my maternity leave will be over thanksgiving, christmas, new years, and my birthday!!! YES!
