1 week from today

I will be holding my little boy in my arms. Yep, that's right my c-section is scheduled for next Wednesday September 2nd at 1:30 p.m. and I couldn't be happier. We were originally planning on Tuesday evening but the hospital couldn't accommodate. I'm alittle sad but it's only a day ... right? Yesterday I meet with my new peri, yep you heard that right new Peri. My OB decided the old one was stressing me out and his lack of communication was just not working for either one of us. So he set me up to go to another Dr in the same practice that happens to be the owner. I have to tell you I love him. He was on point and ready to make a plan as soon as I walked in. Unfortunately for me the hospital could not accommodate our plan so we had to deviate and come up with something new. So my plan is as follows Sunday I take my last fragmin injections, on Tuesday I go to the peri for monitoring and an amnio. If Gage's lungs are developed (and from the ultrasounds they looks fine) I check into the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. And by 1:30 I will be going in for surgery. I'm super freaked out over the c-section but excited that my little boy will be here. As for how Gage is doing, little boy weighs about 6lbs 12oz and his heartbeat was a beautiful 148bpm. His little face still looks as chubby as ever so it's going to be funny to see if he looks like that in real life. His big head is still in the 95th percentile (not that I expected it to get any smaller). Only small issue is his fluids are alittle low but not in a dangerous level. I have been drinking water like it's going out of style, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Well anyway that is the game plan for now. Hopefully it wont change. I will try to get on and update before Wednesday but if for some stupid reason I can't I will post some pictures as soon as I get home.

Awesome, I'm glad you finally have a date- you've been waiting forever. Don't get too nervous about the c-section, I've had 3 and survived all. Just focus on meeting Gage and not what you have to do to get him. You forget what you've gone through the minute you see him! Can't wait for pics!
