Yesterday my step father had to come to New Jersey on business. So when that was done he came over. It was just a quick visit (couple hours) so it confused Max who isn’t used to grandparents coming over for such a short time. So he was sad after he left.
Here is Max playing.
And Grapp had rented a Mustang convertible! Max was clearly going to check that out!
Today I decided I had enough craving for a Cinnabon that I traveled all the way to the Turnpike and went down it to a service stop to get my Cinnabon! Sadly the 6 pack box was only $2 more then the 4 pack box so I got it. Now we all get 2. I was going to say that Nathaniel gets one and I get one if I got the 4 pack. Ha ha!
Well I am officially 28 weeks. It is pretty much all down hill from here. I am calling myself at 41 inches around now. Nathaniel is having fun in there and seems happy. I can’t lay flat anymore, and I have a foot that is always swollen. So clearly 3 trimester is here! Oh and eating big meals isn’t fun anymore, as is going up 2 flights of stairs every now and then. However I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world!! I love that I am pregnant and I hope I can do this again one day!
Tomorrow I get an ultrasound and that should be fun. Sadly though today it got more fun then I expected. I emailed my OB office to ask about the c-section date. I am trying for July 18, but a day or 2 off of that isn’t a big deal. Sadly they scheduled me for July 11! That isn’t a day or 2! That is a WEEK!! Max, you might remember, was born at exactly 38 weeks and his lungs were slightly immature, and he ended up spending 6 days in the NICU. To have me have my c-section at 37 weeks with another boy (who could have Wimpy White Boy Syndrome again like his brother) is too much for me! So I am fighting it. I will see my Perinatlogist tomorrow with the ultrasound and I am hoping he can help me with this. I really want a well baby this time. It would be a novel concept for me to have.
Please don’t get me wrong. If I go in tomorrow and my doctor says that I am likely to go into labor soon, I will deliver Nathaniel tomorrow if need be. I can deal with the NICU if I have to. My point is, there is no evidence right now saying that I need to deliver so early. Yes I can’t go into labor, but because I am being monitored so carefully, I would hope that they would see that I could go into labor soon and prevent it, or whatever. I also don’t mind giving birth at 38 weeks again. I know that it could have just been the luck of the draw with Max. What I am trying to avoid is the CERTAINTY of me having an NICU baby provided everything else is going well. I don’t want to CHOOSE to have a NICU baby if I can help it.
Well tomorrow we should get some nice photos of my little boy! I will let you know what if anything the Peri says.
