Last doctor's appointment I had my last doctor's appointment today prior to my c/s. They checked the usual (blood pressure, weight, fundus height and baby's heart rate) and I had another NST done. The doc said that everything looked fine and I was ready to go Friday. I asked him if I should shave beforehand..or whether I should let the nurses do it at L&D and he told me that it's probably better if the nurses do it just in case I nick myself and end up with an infection. He also checked my previous scar (which looks pretty bad..it's a keloid scar) and said that he'll try and make it look better this time. I thought that was kinda funny..cuz I really don't care about what my scar looks like. Plus..I always thought that it was kinda due to genetics that I have a keloid scar and there's nothing I can do about it. Oh well...if the doc wants to try and make it look better the second time, go ahead! I won't be stopping him. Anyway, I have to go in tomorrow to L&D for some paperwork and also to get my blood drawn. That's also when they will tell me what time my c/s will be. Ooh...getting close...

4 more days to go!
Can't believe there's only 4 more days til my scheduled c/s! I still have one more doc's appointment on Wed and then I go to L&D on Thursday for my blood draw. I guess that's when they will tell me what time my c/s will be. Kinda excited and nervous at the same time. Hoping that all goes well. I'm feeling bigger and bigger everday and today the baby is kicking a lot more than usual. Guess he can't wait to come out!!

Growth spurt! I had my ultrasound today and it showed that the baby is now at the 32nd percentile!! Yipee!! Wow...the tech said that the baby prob went through a growth spurt cuz it was only a couple weeks ago that he was at the 4th percentile. I also had a doc's appointment right after and he seemed quite pleased with the baby's growth. He said that he's gonna keep the original rcs date...so 9/26 it is! That is if I don't go into labor earlier. Yikes. I also asked the doctor about internal exams...which I HATE. I asked him if I needed them done, and he looked at me puzzled. He said, "...but you get one free....why don't you want one?" I told him cuz it was sooo painful for me during the last pregnancy and I really didn't like. He laughed and said that in my case, he'll be okay with not performing it..and that if he forgets just tell him that he promised so. Hahhaa. But of course there was a big "IF". He said, I won't perform it, IF you don't end up having early contractions. Yikes....
