Day 4: Last Prenatal Appointment

Countdown to Emerson's Arrival: Day 4

Today was my last OB appointment of this pregnancy! Yeah! The next time I see my doctor will be 7:30 Monday morning for our C-Section. Nothing exciting to report today. They did another non-stress test (I've had 3)...baby is moving like crazy- which is fantastic! The nurse calls her "Little Stinker" because it is difficult to keep the heart rate monitor on her because she runs/swims away each time the monitor is secured on my tummy...as we watch my stomach do alien type movements. So, the non-stress tests take a really long time because she likes to move...alot. As far as dilation, etc...nothing again. So, once again nothing to report. I am a little disappointed that my body can't show me some sign of knowing how to deliver a baby on its own...but I digress...A C-Section it is. My final weight gain...24 pounds. I am very proud of myself. Hopefully, I will be able to work this off easier than my last pregnancy weight since it is a good 10lbs. less. I am really trying to get back to healthy weight again. Other than that, I am really nervous. Really nervous about the upcoming c-section. I am able to get my mind off of it as Jacob and I keep busy. 4 more days to go...and Monday is D-Day!
