Sorry about the lack of updates. We have been kind of busy with the prep for baby! But just so you know we have a plan. Yup a baby plan that probably won’t happen, but the Doctor provided us with a plan!! So, as we sit right now, on the verge of 40 weeks the little guy has no intention at all of making his grand appearance. Dr. Mies is thinking since I have not had contractions or any of the other lovely signs of my body preparing for labor that this baby is going to need some help making his way into the world. SO…we have a c-section scheduled for the 18th of August. Who knows if we will make it that long, because 11 days in baby world is a long time and he may just change his mind…however, our doctor feels comfortable at least having the section scheduled just in case.
I guess they are right when they say moms know best because I have been saying the 18th the whole time…and I didn’t even ask for it to be scheduled on that day so I could be right! We are not thrilled about having to wait an extra week to meet our baby, but if he needs to stay to grow to be healthy I am cool with dealing with the blessings of being pregnant for one more week. I guess it’s just one more week to milk it for all the m&m’s I can!!
Hey Rhonda -- I love reading your blog! I can just hear you saying the things you write :-) You are so right about having a plan. I had a long birth plan that I brought to the hospital and barely any of it happened the way I "envisioned." I found it on my computer recently and laughed. Anyway, back to you. I was wondering -- why a C-section, why wouldn't they induce you instead?
