less than 18 days.. Until Brianna is here!! Went to the doctor today - all is well .. had a routine test done & then talked about the c-section and got the final info:
Presurgical testing is @ LIJ on May 25th and then I get admitted on May 27th at 10am. The c-section is at 12:15pm and then I'll be in the hospital for hopefully only 4 days.
I asked the doctor how long he thinks it will take me to recover and he said probably around 8 weeks .. so that kind of stinks. But who knows, it could be less. I hope it's less!!!!
So unless this baby girl decides to come on her own - she will be here on May 27th!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so ready to have her out of me!! hahaha <3

c-section At yesterday's sonogram/growth scan appointment, we learned that Brianna is still in the same exact position as always - her head is under my right rib cage still, butt above my pelvis and knees/legs under my left ribcage... and that she is 6 pounds 1 ounce already. I am 3 days shy of being 36 weeks pregnant, my amniotic fluid is measuring normal, but more towards the low side (which really makes it difficult for her to do a major flip to the head down position) - so the doc said she isn't moving anywhere: aka, she is staying in breech. He said he was going to speak to my regular ob/gyn and then I will, and then we'll schedule a c-section.
I am still kind of on the borderline of being sick - whatever is in my lungs is still just lingering, but not going "crazy" yet - and then we have the diabetes - add that onto Brianna being breech, and we have ourselves a c-section!
I'm pretty happy to be honest - who REALLY wants to push a human out of their vagina???? I mean seriously .. who WANTS to do that? NOT ME!!!! I know a c-section is major surgery, but lets see, I won't have to go into labor, no contractions, no pushing a baby out and being exhausted, and no ripping open of my vagina or anything else. Sounds good to me! The recovery process will be longer and more painful, but that's a price I am more than willing to pay at this point. JUST TAKE HER OUT OF MEEEEEEE ALREADY!!!!
I'll most likely be posting again when I get more info and find out the date of the c-section. See ya then!
