Today I had my 38 week appointment and final
ultrasound. Everything still normal, but
you continue to grow and the current estimate is 9 lbs 7 oz. Dr. Rosenbaum and I had a long talk about all
the risks of delivering a baby of your size and discussed what could go wrong
and what our options were. She was very
patient with me as I asked lots of questions and admitted to her that I was, quite
frankly, panicking. In the end, she and
I decided that the safest route for you would be to have a C-section.
I felt good about the decision and confident that we were
doing the right thing, but to be honest, I was scared. I cried the whole way home from the
appointment. I called your Daddy and
cried. I called my sister and cried some
more. But even so, I was confident we’d
made the right decision and in the end, it came with a sense of relief.
Dr. Rosenbaum called the hospital to see how soon we could
schedule the procedure and we got on the schedule for 5 p.m. Friday, March 22.
