36 week check-up

I went in for my 36 weeks checkup on Tuesday. We had another ultrasound and it showed me being at 38 weeks and the baby weighing 6 1/2 pounds. So, he is showing to be a large baby if I go 4 more weeks. The Dr checked me and I haven't changed any since last week. I am still 1 cm dilated although, Dr Stutts thought the baby was still high up. We are concerned with the size of the baby and whether or not I can deliver him if he grows any larger so Dr Stutts suggested a C-section and told me to make a decision before my next visit coming up this Tuesday. He is concerned that the baby is too large and I will have a long and difficult labor like I had with Hunter. He looked back in my chart and I was in labor 20 hours with Hunter and he only weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long. He wasn't a big baby but too big for mommy but he was finally delivered but Mommy had alot of pain and my blood pressure was elevated and Hunter's heart rate was dropping. So we have a big decision to make. We are leaning toward having the c-section but the only thing is that we have moved into a new house that has 2 flights of stairs and I am concerned with getting up them. I can stay downstairs but the shower is upstairs. I am sure we will figure things out when the time comes. It wont be for long. The recovery for a c-section is 4 weeks but I have talked to several people that say after 2 weeks, it gets so much better. I know that Bryan and Hunter will help me out alot.

We are finally moved into our new house and things are starting to settle down some but still so much to do. We still have some things sitting around in boxes so if you come by to visit, walk past it and try to ignore it. Ha Ha! The nursery is completed and I am so glad of that. I was so afraid it wouldn't be done in time but its done except for some decorating. I have hit the nesting face in my pregnancy. I have been decorating for Christmas and getting things ready for the baby to get here. There is so much bed rest a girl can take. I have cleaned this big house so many times but its a wreck today and I feel like crap and just cant make myself do it. Its hard to keep a house clean when no one picks up after themselves. I will try to re post again next week after the Dr and let you know the day the C-section will be scheduled. I will post some pictures of the house later. My compute is slow right now.
