Lilypie 1st Birthday Ticker

Wednesday, May 09, 2007

One of the girls on the pregnancy.org June 2007 bulletin board had her baby last weekend! She had been on bedrest due to signs of pre-eclampsia and her blood pressure was getting more and more elevated, so her doctor decided it would be best for her to have a c-section sooner rather than later. Her son, Jack Lewis, was about 35 weeks old and weighed 5 lbs, 5 oz. She posted some photos and he looks small but alert, and very adorable!

I know this is going to be happening more and more: me seeing my peers drop off the board periodically and return with wonderful stories and photos! This is all so exciting! Darryl & I are really, really looking forward to William's arrival. In some ways I think this month will go by so slowly, and in other ways it will fly by before we know it! I hope we will be as ready as possible (I don't know one can ever fully know what to expect with a first child).

I think William is back to just floating around my abdomen, instead of being head-down. Yesterday, at times, he seemed to be lying with his back across my stomach and during the night his head seemed to be near my ribs or in my side. It's a little hard for me to tell, still, how he's lying, but I am quite sure he's not ready to be born just yet! (I think Darryl is worried about me going into labour while he's in Florida for 3 days for work... May 21-23 or so).
