Lily and a 39 Week Update!

Today, Morgan is taking Lily to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor so we can see what's going on with her. I keep getting called up to school because she has thrown up, but she never has a fever and she's always perfectly fine once she gets home. She eats fine, acts fine, etc. In the mornings though, it seems like she has a lot of drainage stuff and usually when she throws up, that's all it is. So, hopefully they can give us some answers. She has never had this issue until school started, so I am hoping it is an actual physical issue and not anxiety or anything like that. If you could say a little prayer for her, I would really appreciate it!

It has gotten to where I send her lunch now most days, because something about the cafeteria makes her gag often. Poor baby. It's so hard sending her to school knowing she's still having a hard time adjusting and that she's worrying unnecessarily.

Yesterday was my 39 week appointment and I had to wait forever because the doctor had to do an unexpected c-section that morning. I thought I was doing so good too, getting a 9am, first thing in the morning appointment. But, that's just the way it goes sometimes, I guess! Anyhow, he said he could feel the tip-top of the baby's head, but no dilation yet really. He said the baby feels like a good sized baby and after asking how big my girls were, he said he bets this one is around 8-9 pounds also. The girls were 7 lb 13 oz, 8 lb 13 oz, and 8 lb 11 oz. Madison was smaller because she was 10 days early. And something tells me Matthew will go past his due date, just like Kaylee and Lily. However, I really thought he might be smaller just because I've only gained about 18 pounds this time and with the girls I gained about 50 lbs! That will just be another one of those fun things that we will find out when he gets here!

I'm trying not to get impatient and instead just enjoy these last few days. It's so weird to look over and see "6 more days" on my pregnancy counter! I think I have everything ready to go. I have my bag packed. The house is pretty much clean, or clean enough. Ha! I've been doing laundry pretty much every day just to make sure it's done just in case! Thank goodness the girls don't have much going on special with school or anything like that this week or next. Just the usual.

Our cousin was due exactly a week before me and she had her baby on Tuesday, 11/1/11 at 1:01pm! Funny, huh?! He is SO cute and seeing the pictures on facebook made me so excited to have Matthew! It's really only just now really becoming a reality that we are going to be having another baby! I am hoping that I don't have to be induced, although I know a scheduled induction in some ways would be so much easier logistically. When you have a husband who works full-time and has school 4 days a week, plus 3 girls who have school and dance, it almost seems to make more sense to schedule it. But, the doctor won't even consider that until his due date has come anyways, so we will see if Matthew is still cozy in there on Wednesday!
