I am officially 14 days away from having my c-section....although according to the lady at the bank, I wont make it 2 weeks! Ha! I'll show her! This is very exciting, it means that I only have ONE more trip to the doctor's office (Oct. 7) and then the next time I see her will be at the hospital right before she cuts me open (Oct. 15). Geez! I can't believe it is almost here...I prayed it would go by quickly and I will say that this last week has flown by! I am hoping this next week does the same! I still have a bunch to do, but I am confident it will all get done.
JR called me yesterday as I was driving to my appointment and said that he was out in the field near downtown and if he got finished early enough he would come to the appoinment to help with Logan. I thought that I would be getting a pelvic exam considering how close I am to having the baby, but it turns out that they dont do them routinely on repeat c-sections...nor do they test for Group B strep! I have mixed feelings about this....I in no way, shape, or form WANT a pelvic exam, but there is a little part of me that feels that I should have gotten one anyway. For instance, it would be nice to know if I am dilated or if effacement has begun...and you would think the doctor would want to know. I had a friend who was having a repeat cesarean which (like me) was scheduled a week before her due date. She went in at 37 weeks and the doctor found that she was dilated to a 3 and was 20% effaced so they moved the c-section up to the next week....her water ended up breaking the night before the scheduled c-section!
Anyway, I guess if it really stresses me out, I can always ask them to do it next week, but I probably wont. JR ended up coming to the appointment, which was great because my doctor had to deliver a baby that morning and was running 45 minutes behind. My appointment was at 11 and we didn't leave until 12:30! AND LOGAN ACTUALLY BEHAVED.
JR and I had a really nice evening last night..nothing special...we even ate pizza, I was so exhausted. Neither of us really cleaned up, but he seemed to have a lot more patience with me, which made me have a lot more patience with him.
Looking forward to tomorrow.....FRIDAY!!!!!!
