The hospital bags are packed, I’m working on a few last minute household chores and to-do list items… I have butterflies in my stomach much like I’m going to a huge race and am really nervous…
but…
I am so ready! I can’t wait to meet baby!
Just for fun, here are a few pictures from the pregnancy with links to the weekly recaps.
 |
| 14 weeks. That seems so long ago! I’m surprised at how little the bump was at that point – mostly because of how big it is now 🙂 At this point I was over the hump of the first trimester so started back with some harder workouts and ran the GAC Alumni mile track race: 6:39 |
 |
| 22 weeks |
 |
| 26 weeks – a 24:30 5k, one of the best “warm-ups” I’ve done for a race (which will be a fun story to tell baby when it’s older!), |
 |
| 33 weeks – my own version of Ab Ripper X and the Gustavus Alumni 5k! |
 |
| 36 weeks – and unsuccessful attempt to flip baby (version) and the final pre-baby to-do lists! |
 |
| And now… 39 weeks!! I went for one last 5k run over noon today (Tuesday). It’s been nice to be able to be able to run throughout this entire pregnancy! |
 |
| And again! I’ve also been lucky to never feel “uncomfortable”. I’ve heard a lot of women at this stage just want to baby to be OUT (there’s no more room!), but I haven’t had that feeling yet. YES, I can’t wait for the heartburn and nausea to stop, but I really do consider myself lucky to have been fairly comfortable throughout! |
The C-section is scheduled for early morning tomorrow (Wednesday 10/15). I’m not sure when I’ll get around to posting here, but if you follow me on Twitter or are FB friends with me, you’ll know very soon after baby arrives.
Here’s hoping for an uneventful C-section, a healthy and happy baby, and the start of loving our little family! XXXOOO
GOOD LUCK!!! How exciting!! Best wishes from Scotland 🙂
Sending you my best wishes for an uneventful C-section and healthy and happy baby!
