10 days and counting....

Hey there everyone. Well, my doctor FINALLY booked my C-section. We'll be having these babies Monday, February 9th... that's 10 days from now. And it doesn't look like they'll be making an appearance any earlier than that, for my check-up today basically showed there's absolutely no signs of my body preparing for labor. These babies are more than happy hanging out in there, and apparently my body is more than happy letting them. I tried to convince my doctor to do the C-section tomorrow... but she wasn't feeling as rushed. So they'll be 37.5 weeks at birth. She measured my uterus today and it's a massive 48 cms (which is equivalent to 8 weeks post term for a singleton pregnancy). So all you ladies out there... remember how uncomfortable you were at full term? Now imagine waiting another 8 weeks to deliver. She said the biggest uterus she's ever seen was 50 cm... and that was for triplets. So that means the babies must be growing in leaps and bounds, which is good for them and horrendous for my collection of stretch marks. Anyways, I'm feeling really encouraged today and excited that I have a date now that signifies the end. It's also convenient that my mother flies in from Canada the day before my C-section, which is fabulous! Keep us in your prayers over the next 10 days!
