C-section scheduled!

After waking up this morning to barely 5 hours of sleep, a splitting headache, a sore throat, equally sick and cranky children, and a perfectly timed smashing of my finger in the sliding glass door -- and all before coffee I might add -- I was setting myself up for a horrible day.  I was hoping I would get a call from the OBGYN's scheduling office. I really wanted to hear some good news.

Not long after my much enjoyed cup of coffee, I got the call. As of now, I still don't know the actual time of the c-section, but I do know the definite date is July 14th! I will be exactly 39 weeks. I can't express how excited and relieved I am. Ever since getting this call I have been in a much better mood, and cannot contain my excitement!

I also know who the OB doing the surgery will be, and the woman I spoke to on the phone is supposed to call me back soon (hopefully today) with the exact time of the c-section and an appointment date to meet with my OB. I really hope she likes my birth plan. I have been working on it in the last few days, and will post it here when it's finished.

I have only about 8 more weeks to go!

Hey Michelle!

I remember you from MDC posts about SD. I'm so happy about your decision in favor of the planned c/s, and hope that you have a beautiful birth and an easy recovery from surgery. Looking at your belly pics, it definitely looks to me like you're in for a pretty big baby, and not having to worry about the SD risk seems like it would offer a lot of peace and joy moving towards birth. Congratulations and best wishes!
