Crazy day yesterday!

>> Friday, October 16, 2009

So, sorry for the lack of picture and update last night, it turned out to be a very very busy day.
My department ended up throwing a surprise baby shower for me at lunchtime. Although baby showers are pretty much the norm around here, It was still a huge surprise because one of my co-workers got in touch with Bob and he came to the shower! It was so weird to see him in my office. It was very nice, and we received a ton of stuff that remained from our registry, plus a gift card. A co-worker/friend also made us a gorgeous baby blanket. I love home-made stuff!!
After that, I had to pull a few work things together and then it was time for the doc's office. News was pretty much as expected, she is still not head down. Considering the fact that I am well aware of where her noggin is, I was not shocked and did not get upset at all. Good news is- fluid looks good and although the cord is near her head, it is not tightly wrapped around her neck, there is plenty of space/fluid between her and the cord. He then took the measurements in order to get the weight estimate. Apparently she is a pretty good sized lady. She is measuring in the 61st percentile and is guesstimated to weigh 6 lb 9 oz already. Considering the fact that I am 5'2, this is a pretty big baby to have in there. No wonder I'm so uncomfortable!
Anyway, after checking all this stuff out, my doc said that considering her size, frank breech position, and cord location, I would not be a good external version candidate. Although I was not going to do the version anyway, I am glad to know that I am not going to have to play the "coulda shoulda woulda" game after the c-section. I just know that this is the only way to go, and go that way we will.
So, the office is working on scheduling my c-section today. Assuming there is room for me in the L&D schedule, Nov. 5th will be the big day. Yes, that is less than 3 weeks away. I am so freaking excited. I have no idea how I am supposed to concentrate on anything else over the next 3 weeks!!
