C called me today after a doctor visit to say that they did decide, after all, to do a scheduled c-section.\u00a0 when we had first talked back in November, this was what she’d been expecting to happen, but for the last month or so she’s told us that she’d prefer to be able to have a “normal” birth experience because the healing time is so much shorter.\u00a0 Unfortunately, because of various medical reasons, they told her today that she will need to undergo a c-section after all.<\/p>\n
although she must have been disappointed, when she shared this news with me, she pointed out that this would make it easier for us to plan and we will probably actually\u00a0 be able to be present in Texas when he’s born.\u00a0 I’m trying not to count on being in the actual room when he’s born, but that is at least a possibility now. \u00a0 And despite the fact that I felt bad that she wouldn’t get to deliver him in her preferred way, the news gave me such a thrill!\u00a0 First of all, THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!\u00a0 and although the surgery hasn’t been scheduled yet, they estimated that it would be in early March which means THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING SOON!\u00a0 and thirdly, HOORAY for a teensy island of potential predictability in the choppy sea of uncertainty!\u00a0 Granted, he could still decide to make an early entrance into the world and surprise us all, but at least we know he won’t be late and leave us all hanging with bated breath for two weeks.<\/p>\n
Let’s just say that concentrating on homework all day tomorrow will be a challenge, but will also be a priority–I’ve got to try to get a little bit ahead of the schedule!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
