So I am 38 weeks pregnant right now and I'm hoping to not have to go the full 40. I am feeling very pregnant, which includes being ginormous, tired, sore and swollen in the hands and feet. The good news is that things are most definitely progressing. I can feel that Patrick has started to drop much lower in my belly and it's very obvious to everyone else as well. Despite the progression, it's still impossible to know if I'll go into labor in 2 days or 2 weeks, so I am doing my best to be patient.
Delmar and I decided that it would be best to deliver at UCSF rather than up in Eureka. The doctors and the facilities there are superb and Patrick can get the attention he needs as soon as he is born. It seemed like the responsible decision just to avoid as much risk as possible considering the 300 mile distance between Eureka and UCSF.
So, to make sure that I actually have the baby at UCSF and not in Eureka or on the road somewhere in between, I moved down to Santa Clara to stay with my parents last week (Week 37). Delmar went back to work but he'll be joining me down here again soon. It's nice to be with family during this time of waiting. I've been going on lots of walks, taking the dogs to the park, and hanging out with Brent during the week.
Keep your fingers crossed for Patrick's timely arrival and we'll be sure to pass on the good news as soon as we can.
Love,
Sarah
P.S. I don't plan on posting photos on Patrick on Facebook so for those of you who can't visit, I can post some on here and/or email individually later on.
