Had my last doctors appointment today. It went well. After 40 weeks of being pregnant, Ashlyn will be here tomorrow! At my last appointment my doctor noticed (from my ultrasound at 38 weeks) that Ashlyn is a big girl. My doctor was/is concerned that if I did VBAC, Ashlyn’s head would be delivered but her abdomen could possibly become stuck in the birthing canal. *Just so you get an idea, at my ultrasound I was 38 weeks pregnant, Ashlyn’s head measured at 39 weeks and her abdomen measured at 41!! And she measured about 8.5lbs. YIKES!* After that, we scheduled a ceasaren for tomorrow, Thursday July 1st at 2pm. And although I wanted to have a vaginal delivery with this one, I would much much rather have a safe delivery than a traumatic one.  It doesn’t help my case any that for the past 3 appointments there has been NO change in my cervix. How ’bout that?! No change. Still the same. Annnndddd I am SO done being pregnant. So for me, a c-section is welcomed!  Today the doctor estimated that Ashlyn will be around 9lbs. She’ll be one healthy girl, that’s for sure! I have had a very healthy pregnancy and have kept my weight gain under control. (thank God!) I weigh a lot less than I did when I delivered Jackson and I only went 37 weeks with him. I’m very much proud of this :-) But I also think this is what has kept preclampsia away this time. And I praise God for that!!! So tomorrow we become a family of 4!! I couldn’t be more excited! Hopefully I’ll sleep tonight… but I highly doubt it.  Prayers and positive thoughts are welcomed! Pictures will be coming soon…
