My doctor called letting me know my c-section is officially scheduled for June 16th. Now I'm waiting for another call with my pre-op appointment details. It's so crazy all I have left is my growth scan on Friday, then my pre-op appt, and then he's born!
@setosh Mine is getting closer and closer to being an outie. Every time I cough it pokes out and then goes back in. It is the weirdest thing I have ever seen!
Not going to lie... reading the words "Next month" just made me brain go "omfg!! They're right!".
Since my due date is 6/29, I now can say "the 29th" when people ask when I'm due. I don't even have to preface it with a month anymore!
Side note: I sort of half-hope I go past my due date so that when someone asks when I'm due, I can say "June 29th" and watch them awkwardly figure it out.

Hospital tour last night...seeing the bed I'll be delivering in was a little scary - I'm still in denial that I actually have to push this baby out soon and that it's going to hurt! Lol
@joleri23 Yeah, it was fun telling people I was due today, yesterday, last Saturday, 10 days ago, etc. I got a lot of, "What are you doing here/out of the house?" as if my condition required me to go into hiding. Fortunately, I was in great shape last time and pretty comfortable being pregnant, so it didn't really bother me except that everyone I knew was checking in on me constantly to see if I forgot to tell them I had the baby. That got annoying quickly.
Had an appointment and ultrasound on Wednesday (35w5d) and baby is measuring 6lb3oz. Like holy shit, people. That's a BABY sized baby. I could squeeze this puppy out and she'd be like in the normal size range for a newborn.
I also got a sweet shot of her mouth and nose and instantly wanted to kiss her! It's seriously the first involuntary, maternal response I've had all along that surprised me! I had to stop myself from kissing the ultrasound printout!
@LadyFleck awwwwe! I am jealous. At our ultrasound last week I couldn't even figure out where the hell his mouth was! It was almost as bad as back when he was skeletor status! Glad your little one is being all cute and shit and YAY for healthy sized babies. Can't believe we're already there!
@am0987 you're right... that does make it more real! I'm sorry about the pre-e. Thinking of you and LO and wishing you luck until LO makes an appearance!
Installed the infant carseat base in my car last night. It definitely felt a little surreal this morning when I turned around to thow my purse into the back seat and saw the base back there.
Yeah I wouldn't buy them myself for fear of jinxing it lol. We got them as gifts from our baby shower. I kept them all just in case she is here. She's gonna have a bunch of wardrobe changes that day even in the hospital lol
I definitely think my belly dropped in the past few days. No more rib pain that has plagued me for weeks and now I'm having sciatica instead. I compared pictures but that doesn't really do it justice. My breasts have also started leaking a little bit. Definitely think my body is getting ready but I want baby to stay in til I'm at least 37 weeks!
@sboston06 mine has dropped too. Baby's so far down there already that snagging a proper heartbeat was difficult for doc. I definitely feel the breathing relief too but my pix don't seem dramatically different either! Glad I'm not the only one.
I had bad anxiety this week when I realized I could have less than a month left. People have started balking when I say I'm due on the 29th. They're like, "Of June?!" Their reactions have freaked me out. I didn't think it was that big of a deal! Now I'm realizing I'm soon going to be responsible for a human life and I'm completely panicked.

My doctor told me today that if I went into labor they wouldn't give me anything to stop it (unless of course baby was in distress). Exciting yet terrifying at the same time!
Was sent to the hospital today from my OB appt for high blood pressure (I was diagnosed with pre-e last week) and literally almost had a baby this afternoon! Luckily pressures went down but I'm still in the hospital, and will be induced on Sunday night at the absolute latest! Yikes!

Update: officially being induced Saturday night! My kidneys are shutting down apparently...pre-e is so much fun, ugh. Looks like I'm having a baby on Sunday!

P.s. I was NOT leaking fluid, just really watery discharge. Yay?
