Nothing To See Here...

I just got done with my Friday doctor appointment and I am happy to report that there is absolutely nothing to report.  Woo Hoo!!  In and out in 30 minutes, just like I wanted.  For the record that makes 2 whole weeks in a row that I haven't gotten any bad news.  My blood pressure was nice and low (thanks to the medication), the baby was measuring 33 weeks (a little ahead since I am only 32 weeks) and her heart beat was great.  Next week we will have an NST and some blood work but for today, I was free to go.  I asked if I could go back to work since my blood pressure seems to be under control and my favorite nurse said, "Do you want me to lose my job?"  Well, I guess not, but it can't hurt to ask.

The only other thing to report is that I scheduled my c-section today.  I guess the hospital where I am going to deliver is pretty busy so they wanted to get it on the books.  Plus I had asked about dates because I would ideally like to deliver while The Boy is in school.  That helps for two reasons.  One, he will be at school all day long (his normal routine) while I am in the hospital and two, my mother will be able to drop him off at school and come to the hospital to be with me during the day.  Of course his spring break for school is the week of April 13th, and that is the week I am 37 weeks along (The Boy was born at 37 weeks).  So I did NOT want The Girl coming that week.  So I need to push her through to 38 weeks.  They also wanted to schedule it on a Thursday, but that doesn't so much work for me either because The Boy is only in school Monday through Thursdays.  So that defeats the purpose of having him in school.  So the official day is Monday April 20th.  At 11:30am.  If I can get her to that point, that is when she will make her big debut into the world.

And for those of you who have known me a long time (re: college days) I find it QUITE humorous that this baby is going to be born on 4/20.  And if you don't know what that means or why that is funny, then you are a better person than I.  Hee hee...

Yay for the nothing to report!

Hope little girl will stay in until the scheduled c-section.
And as for her due date.. I guess you mean the one who I won't name (which sadly was my first association when you mentioned that date). Glad you find it humorous and I know it is completely meaningless and insignificant that such and such was born on the same date, but I also don't understand why not knowing would make someone a better person. Sorry, maybe I am completely off course and the 20.4 has a completely different association for you, since after all I really don't know you, and obviously know nothing about your college days.

I LOVE that she's going to be born on 4/20!! :D I'd love to be there, for moral support and to help with The Boy. And I can't wait to meet her!
