5/11/11

My c-section is scheduled for May 11, 2011 :) I wanted May 6, 2011 (5+6=11) and it's my grandpa's birthday but it's in my 38th week of pregnancy and they won't do "elective" sections before the 39th week.

It will be an elective c-section because I already had a section with Alex and this baby, like Alex, is transverse....sitting in a hammock in my belly. It is 99% unlikely that Ross will turn head down.

And if you're curious, I'm miserable. I'm bigger than I was when I delivered Alex. I have carpal tunnel really bad. I have bad sciatica and when I lay on my side (the only way that's remotely comfortable) I feel like my crotch is going to split in two. I toss from left to right side all night long because the pain of the weight of Ross wakes me up. If that doesn't wake me up, heartburn does. On a happier note, I'm wearing the same 5 outfits every week and they're sooo comfortable. All of my pants and shorts roll down my big belly and the shirts aren't long enough to cover. So I have 3 long cotton dresses and 2 pair of stretchy gaucho pants that cover my belly. I wear a few shirts with the pants because the panel in the pants come up so much I have more shirt choices. My shoes are a different story. I'm wearing croc flip-flops that are getting tight and some Clark's Privo shoes that are a wide. I haven't tried tennis shoes in about a month. I'm scared.

All in the name of a healthy baby, but I can't wait to be miserable from being up all night with a newborn.
