My blood pressure was good and baby's heartbeat was good. He didn't measure my belly. Not sure if he forgot or just doesn't at this point forward. I guess we'll see on Friday what he does. We also discussed the what I am to do if I go into labor before my c-section date. He said that I am to go straight to the hospital if my water breaks, or if my contrax are 5 minutes apart. He also said to let them know that I am scheduled for a c-section on such and such date, and if he's on he will do the c-section right away or if one of the other doctors in his group are on, they will do it. HUH?? What do you mean?? I thought if I went into labor on my own we were going to try to deliver vaginally. This has thrown a huge kink in to my brain. I was prepared that it was a minimal chance of me having a c-section... not a full blown yes - you are having one.
Just as we were going over the paperwork for the surgery, he decided that we would wait until my next appointment (this coming Friday) to fill all the paperwork out because he still thinks there might be a chance of my placenta moving.... and so my fetal assessment on Monday will tell us how this little girl is coming into this world in the next couple of weeks. Doesn't that sound weird that she'll be here in a couple of weeks??? Wow... where did time go?
We still haven't decided on a name... Adrian has lists of names. Last night he stayed up until 2:30am searching the internet looking for the perfect name. I have my list of 3-5 names that I like... with one particular one that is a favorite. I even mentioned to Adrian how about I pick the first name and he can pick the middle name(s). I am quite certain that I don't want to have this baby without a name picked out, leaving her for days without a name like Anika did.
Anika is getting quite excited about the baby. She is also getting quite nervous about me not being here to pack her snack for school because of the strict guidelines. I told her that I would leave information for Daddy and Grandma on what she can take. She was also worried about knowing what time she had to leave for the bus and what time to tell them that they had to pick her up from the bus stop!! Good God... she's 5!!! She shouldn't have to worry about this stuff. So I have made "How to Take Care of Anika" notes and they will be posted inside the pantry, along with neighbor's phone numbers just incase!
Anyways.. that's about it for now :) I am sleeping much better now that I have my new sheets. I even bought myself pajama's that are the same material (Jennifer, Mom and Aunty Pat will know what I mean), and I woke up sweating so bad last night that I had to change into something a little lighter :) These new sheets are the same material as a baby's fleecy blanket... ohhhhhhhhh soooooooo nice!! Anika calls them dreamy sheets. We bought her some for Christmas ~ she's going to be sooo excited!!
Speaking of Christmas... I have already started my Christmas Shopping! I found out that I probably won't be able to drive anywhere for 3 or more weeks after my c-section so I have to get a handle on it now. So far I've bought for Micah (my nephew), and for Anika. For Anika we got her clothes (cords, 3 tops, sweater, pj's, and a jumper with a shirt), a Crayola Sidewalk Chalk & Paint Set, New "Dreamy" Sheets, and a 2 wheel scooter. We are also going to be getting her High School Musical 1 & 2 DVD's (she love's #1), and tickets to see "High School Musical on Ice" which is in February. There will lots of other things I will pick up along the way for her, but its nice to get some of this out of the way.
Anyways.. that's it for now. Will update after my fetal assessment on Monday afternoon.
