39w0d - Tomorrow's the Day
I had my pre-op appointment this morning. It was nice that they had set my expectations appropriately...that we were literally being squeezed into a completely full schedule. My appointment was for 11:15am, and it was nearly 45 minutes of sitting in the waiting room before they called me back to start the process. Good thing I told my husband he should bring his laptop and work on some of the things he needed to finish up! At least he made some progress during our quiet time.
The pre-op went smoothly - I LOVE my primary OB (the one who's delivering the baby tomorrow). Good news is I haven't gained any weight in the past week and a half. Yeah, cap my weight gain at an even 50lbs. My blood pressure was a little high - 130/80 when I'm usually 110/70. Nothing too concerning.
Now I'm just waiting for the call from the hospital to confirm my instructions for tonight and tomorrow (no eating, etc.)...and I'm sitting with my son enjoying some last time together as just the two of us. How bittersweet. I'm thrilled to welcome a new son, but at the same time very sad to say goodbye to the period in my life where it's just little buddy and myself. Bittersweet.
