38ww 5dd appt.

Thank you Em. I do appreciate all the inputs I got from this group. It made
me so much more in control of my pregnancy and more confident when I went to
each Dr's appt. Not to talk about the support you all have given me.
I know that the size of the baby is one of the factors for the choice to
have a C-section but in my case it also has to do with having depression and
anxiety that in very stressful situations I cannot manage even if I am on
medication. If I didn't have this problem, I would have wanted to try
without the c-section (but strong epidural!!!!), but in this case I think
it's going to be a more enjoyable experience for me, too.
I am curious, too to see how much she weighs. So many Drs tell me that she
is big. I am expecting a 37 lb baby now!

Oh well. Very soon we'll know.
I am just so excited.

Love

the Dr I saw today told me again that she is a big
baby and they usually schedule c-sections for babies as big as mine. It
seems that my Dr had also written something on my chart about it

Wow, how big is she?? lol! I am happy for you, she's coming!! Yay!
Are you ready??

I'm glad that you are happy with the situation and aren't second-guessing
yourself. Knowing ahead of time when and how things will be will do a lot to
ease your mind and make it an enjoyable experience for you. I am so excited
for you!! I can't wait to see your birth announcement! Good luck and I hope
everything goes well (I am sure it will)...yay!

Will you use the Astrological Chart to determine WHEN you will have your c
Section? If we deliver before the 20th our daughters will be Pisces. If
we
wait, they will be Aries. Just wondering.

EDD Monday!!!

I'm glad to see someone else has at least thought of what sign their baby
will be, like I have, lol!

My baby will be Taurus or Gemini. My official dd is May 17, the doctors say
it's really May 16. May 20 is the cutoff point for a Taurus baby. I am going
on the assumption that my baby will be more likely to come late than early,
so I think I will end up having a Gemini.

I don't much about Taurus OR Gemini, I am a Leo and my husband is a Cancer.
I do know that we both fit exactly in what the signs are typically as far as
temperament, personality, etc. It's very odd, I am not a superstitious one
or a big astrology believer, but most people I know do fit their sign. I
have always been extremely interested in personality type and temperament
etc. I need to read up on the 2 possibilities!

DH and I are so happy. We are going to see our baby next week! After the
appt we went to celebrate to Cold Stone. We shared one cup of mint with
chocolate chip. We could barely finish it!But it was worth it!. This weekend
are also going to do all the "couple" things that we won't be able to do for
a while, like going for dinner to my favorite restaurant and going to the
cinema to see once again "The Return of the King" (we are both Tolkien
fan!).

Good luck making it through without too many potty breaks

Emily,
your good wishes must have worked! I just came back from the cinema and I
saw the whole movie without going to the restroom!
