Our little guy now weighs an estimated 1.8kg! He is still very much in the breech position and the doctor still highly doubts he will be turning. With this news, I decided to book my c-section date to ensure I am his first patient of the day and thankfully he operates in the mornings. So instead of waiting ALL day like I did for Lily's arrival (she arrived just before 5pm), I should be a mommy for the second time by about 8:30/9am on Thursday, 12th April 2012. That is exactly 6 weeks from today.
Should he turn by some miracle in the interim obviously we will reassess the situation for a natural birth. The doctor doesn't seem convinced that this is going to happen.
So although to everyone else this pregnancy seems to have flown by, it definitely hasn't for me. I think for the expectant mom, you definitely know that you've been pregnant for 33 weeks and as per usual, the last trimester seems to take the longest! I am getting more and more excited to meet my little boy, but I'm also making note to enjoy all the hours of sleep I'm getting as I realise they will soon be coming to an end... at least for a little while! But I honestly am more excited to have him in my arms than I am about having decent sleep. I can't wait to see who he looks like and to start our lives as a family of four.
Once again beautiful writing - we too can't wait to meet him. Love you all lots
