Something to report

Today was our 38 week doctor's appointment. These weekly visits are getting silly. Luckily, today was our last one. After a good check of the heartbeat (much easier to find this time), measurements, and cervix (I think he scraped my tonsils), we had a nice talk with the doctor.

I still have made no progress--my cervix is thick and closed, baby is still sideways, and he's still a whopper. So we were given a decision to either wait it out and see if things change, or to go ahead and schedule a c-section. At this point I've just about had it, and I don't feel confident that anything much will change over the next week. So we went ahead and scheduled a repeat c-section for Monday.

Monday, June 5th. Yeah.

The doctor didn't want to sway me either way, but after I decided, he said that's the decision he would have made too. So I feel pretty good about that. And now we have the weekend to enjoy, and get all those last things ready (laundry, etc). And bake cookies. And practice saying the names we've chosen. And my mom is ready to take care of Evan for at least Monday and Tuesday, which is a great relief to us. We're nervous, and excited, and I can't believe it's almost here.
