Hi everyone!! I'm sorry I haven't posted yet. We didn't get home until LATE last night, and then we got up this morning about 6 and started on the house with my parents here working. They just left and I finally got the rooms to where I could get in here.
Shawna, thanks so much for calling to check on me!! I had turned my phone off when I went to the dr yesterday, and then stupid me forgot to turn it back on. Pregnancy has made my brain disappear!!
Ok, here's the update: She checked us yesterday, and she (the dr) has decided to go with August 1st. I was a little bummed, just b/c I thought I didn't want to wait a week past what I was already thinking of, but she said she'd rather do it then, so that she would know for sure that the lungs were completely done, and he could be in the room with me and go home with me and not have to stay in the nursery. When she put it that way, I had to agree!
She said that if I went in to labor before that date, that they would still do the C-section. . .it would just be done by whoever was on call, not by my dr. When they did the ultrasound, he was right around 7 pounds--the dr thinks he'll be 9 + by delivery. The fun part right now is that his abdominal area is ranking in the 73 percentile. He hasn't dropped yet at all, so when she was measuring, she said, "And look, he has a big ol' butt at the top." So, with the big ol' butt and the big ol' belly, DH & I have decided that we are giving birth to Norm from Cheers!!!
I'm really swollen now--so much so that the dr was laughingly like, "And your face is swollen and your feet are swollen and your knees are swollen. . ." I quite politely told her to stuff it!
We go for this week's check-up on Tuesday, and then the following week, we go Wed., Thurs., and then in for his Grand Entrance on Friday!! The C-section is scheduled for 10 a.m. that morning, and we have to be there at 8 a.m. I am SO excited, I am beside myself!!!
Thank you all for checking on me!! I'm sorry I worried everyone!! I will definitely give you an update after the appointment on Tuesday!! You all are the bestest buddies and DIS Aunties anyone could have!!
