My C-Section is scheduled for next Friday the 24th at 7am. The doctor and hospital will only do this surgery up to a week from my due date which has changed and changed and changed due to the size of this kid. :) UNLESS...I go into labor really bad or my water has broken.
Well, labor started this last Wednesday. Really bad. I thought about going into the hospital, but I didn't. I prayerfully decided to wait until Friday when Bucky had work off and have the baby then. So I took it easy those three days waiting patiently for Friday. I was still having contractions and thought we were good to go. So Friday rolls around and I call the hospital. Booked. Booked. Booked. But they tell me that I can call early on Saturday morning and if I'm still having contractions than I can come in. So, restless Friday night in anticipation and contractions all night.
Saturday morning I call and talk to the charge nurse who has little patience for much of anything. I tell her my situation and she says that she will not call my doctor until I come in and they check me out and make sure that I am in fact in labor and there's a need to do the surgery early. AAAARRRGH. "Okay." I say through gritted teeth and hang up. Now I'm really grouchy because I told the kids we were having the baby today and I want to meet this little guy!
Poor Buck, I pull him out of bed at 7 in the morning and tell him we are going for a walk. A long walk. A strenuous walk. And we do. With the kids and dog in tow. And I'm sure you can guess where this is going. No contractions. None all day, maybe one or two here and there, but that's it. So now it's Sunday night and I have resigned myself to the fact that I have to wait one more week in this pig misery. But, I'm going to put on a happy face and use this week to do any last minute things I need to to get ready for this baby, who WILL be coming on Friday morning at the latest!!!
Enough with the drama, I took some pictures of the kids being goofy tonight because it was so nice outside and well, I think they're cute. :)

Those last two weeks might as well be two years...I am so sorry! My only advice is distraction-distraction-distraction...and chocolate :) luv ya!
Those babies always have their own timing. Good idea to get all the things done that you need to, you won't have time after. Good Luck!! E & E are darling as ever too!
Oh I am so feeling for you Anna! I thought last weekend would be the weekend for us too - but no - everything slowed down again! So instead I'm trying to get everything done (like can some pears) so I don't have so much to do after the baby gets here - when ever that will be! Good luck this week! We will be praying for you and watching for the update on how cute your little guy is!
The end of pregnancy stinks!
