32 Weeks

Can you believe I am EIGHT months? I surely can't. It's baffling to me... Well I have big news. Last Monday, my doctor office called to schedule my c-section. Madelyn Skye is scheduled to make her debut Monday, March 11, 2013!!!!!!!!!! I have to be at Labor & Delivery at 4:30am and my c-section is at 7:30am. I'm glad it's that early so I have the whole day to rest and start recuperating  And I'm sure by the afternoon/evening I should be ready for visitors. I have a few friends who have just delivered via c-section and they told me it isn't as bad as people make it out to be-- it's just scary in the OR. They said recovery isn't bad either and to make your nurse let you get up the same day. Hopefully that stands true with me.  So, it's 48 days until we meet Baby Madelyn... I am thrill to meet and hold this kid who is kickboxing in my belly. Her kicks and punches are crazy strong and are painful at times. When she moves my whole belly moves. And she loves her daddy already... She'll be all quiet but when David comes in from work and speaks, ohh man she goes insane. So sweet. 

Last week was pretty rough, honestly. I went in Friday (1/11) to give an urine sample because I felt sooo bad and sure enough I had a pretty good UTI going on. They gave me antibiotics and some kind of pills to numb the urinary track. I took them and OMG they made me very sick.  I tried just the antibiotic Sunday night and all night I was sick. Monday I passed out without any warning whatsoever. My momma said it took her a minute to get me awake. It scared her so bad. When I came to, I asked what happened and why was I on the couch. I passed out Tuesday and yesterday, too. Not sure what's causing it but it needs to stop. The doctor called me in a different antibiotic. I started it Thursday and I'm feeling soo much better. Whew, worst UTI ever. I'll be drinking cranberry juice daily from now on.

Friday (1/25), I have an OB appointment and ultrasound. I can't wait to see Madelyn and see how much she has grown and what she weighs. She feels huge and heavy in my belly, haha. Painful! Saturday (1/26) is my BABY SHOWER and my Momma's birthday!!! Ohh my goodness, I can't believe the baby shower is here already. Better yet, I cannot even believe that it is MY baby shower... Ahhhh! I'm totally looking forward to seeing everyone. Some are coming whom I haven't seen in forever. SOOO EXCITED!!!!!! It's going to be amazing. I'm so thankful for my Julie and Michele who is giving the shower.

This past week I've been in a very organizing, cleaning out, throwing away kind of moods-- very busy. I'm told I am in the "nesting phase"... I am trying to get everything organized, cleaned, and make room for baby. I think this "nesting phase" is driving David bonkers... But he has been helping me sooo much and being so understanding. Poor man with the crazy almost due preggo wife! I truly appreciate it though. :)

That's about it for this week. Next week's post will be full and filled with pictures.  Please keep praying for a smooth pregnancy, delivery, and a very healthy Madelyn and mommy!
