I had my 38 week check up this week. This was my last appointment. Payton will be here next week! We are still measuring big. I have been having a lot more contractions but did not get checked for progress as I am having a c section. I also had my last appointment with MFM. Payton is still very happy growing away in my belly. They estimated his weight to be 9lb 15oz. That is a huge baby. The tech did say that they are almost always measured on the big side. I sure hope so. That is a 2 month old not a newborn!
We will go in early Monday morning at 6am for our c section. We will be the first case of the day. Surgery is scheduled at 8am. This is so my sugar is low when they take him so his doesn't drop drastically after birth. Payton will have to be monitored in the nursery for a bit after he is born. They will watch his sugars and also be taking a look at his kidney. The left one looks to be severely swollen and not doing its proper job. The right one is just fine. He will have to have a few tests and will most likely be placed on low dose antibiotics daily. This will continue until the swelling goes down. I am sure he will be fine, but I can't help worry about him. Sometimes big babies have problems breathing when they are born as well. I have prayed for his lungs and kidneys to be functioning great when he is born.
I am so excited that we are finally going to meet Payton. And I am nervous about having surgery. But we are in good hands and things will be fine. Next time I update I will have a tiny (or not so tiny!) tyke.
