Updates

I know not everyone cares to know this information, but some people I don't talk to regularly like to know what's going on, so I thought I'd just put out an update on my pregnancy.

I'm 36 weeks along now. Since 30 weeks, I've been having an ultrasound every week at the OB and seeing the doctor. They wanted to monitor things closely because of previous events, and because I'm on blood thinners. So I do that every Monday, and on Thursdays I take a jaunt to the hospital and have a non stress test to make sure the baby's doing OK.

Today at my appointment, we scheduled a c-section. I'd wanted to try and have a vaginal delivery (v-bac), but given several factors my doctor really recommended against it. There are a lot of details involved there, but mostly the blood thinner thing and a couple other things made us decide to go the surgery route. Unless, of course, baby decides to poke out before the day and do it head first (she's currently breech).

That's really all there is to say right now. Yes, we've actually got a name narrowed down, and no, I won't tell you what it is. Our house isn't ready for another baby, but we can make-shift it for a while until the attic gets finished. If anyone has an overwhelming desire to put up drywall or do some mudding, give me a call. :o)

Otherwise, things are good around here. Lots of good news from friends and exciting things coming up this year!
