31 weeks and feeling pretty good. Sure, I am tired and hungry and in pain at times, but I feel I could last these remaining 8 weeks and actually enjoy them to the fullest. Maybe it has something to do with actually knowing when I will give birth.
I had a prenatal appointment yesterday, and set up the consult with the OBGYN who will be doing the surgery. I have heard nothing but great things about her, and can't wait to meet her. I plan on talking to her about my birth plan too, and I am a little nervous about it. I really hope they can work with me on a few things (like lowering the drape and/or providing a mirror). I guess we will find out in 2 weeks.
I am still thinking this baby is a boy. The midwife I saw at my last appointment told me she thinks it's a boy too -- especially because my fluid levels are on the higher range of normal. Supposedly boys make more fluid than girls do. I guess we will find out in 8 weeks!

I'm so glad you are feeling good about your birth plan.
I'm curious, as someone who advocates for more natural cesareans, how are you going to approach the OB. Are you going to bring a copy of "the natural cesarean" article? I've been asked before if I thought bringing in that article to situations like yours is a good or bad idea. My thought is that it would be good to have with you, but not to whip it out first thing, but to have it in case it's appropriate and helpful. I'd love to hear what your approach is going to be. I have my fingers crossed for you that the OB is going to be awesome and agreeable.
