Waiting for a Birthday...

Yep, it's been confirmed...we are going to have Little Miss via "primary" (or planned) c-section. I met with my doctor, who did return this week as we were told, yesterday and she has agreed that we have reason to deliver this way.

So what everyone wants to know is...WHEN IS SHE COMING?? Well, we still don't know yet. We were hoping that maybe we would hear back from the doctor's office yesterday before close of business but we didn't. So, we should hear back on Monday. They needed to check with the hospital and the OR schedule. My doc really rather not deliver her before 39 weeks, even at 38 1/2, so Daddy just may get his wish and we may have Marley on Friday the 13th...they said they'd see what they could do :) So it looks like, unless I go into labor on my own, that it will be scheduled for sometime between the 12th and my due date. We're just waiting to hear back.

Other than that all is going pretty well. My pain in my low back and my leg has decreased somewhat by not being up and on it all the time. Trust me...it's still there but we're talking instead of pain in the 9-10 range I'm currently in the 7-8 range. Truly much more bearable. I've been battling a significant headache all day today...this is actually the first I've been out of bed...but that's started to fade more to the background as well.

Doc said that she's thinking that Little Miss is anywhere from 7 1/2-8 1/2 pounds and that I'm two centimeters dilated already...

We'll keep you posted...
