My doctor is awesome!!! He has been so easy going with this pregnancy. It has been nice!! I guess once you have as many kids as we do, most of the docs kind of let you call the shots. On not so important things, anyway. I got to choose whether I wanted to take the glucose tolerance test, I got to choose to start seeing him every two weeks or wait a little longer, AND the best of it all? I get to choose my due date. As early as 2 weeks before my actual due date!!!
To tell the truth, I am miserable and would actually like to have her now, but the doc says it's a little too soon, which I know, but I am ready. My home is not ready for a baby yet, but I am definitely ready to be done being pregnant. I have been done since the day I found out that I was pregnant!!!
Reasons to be done?
1. I no longer have ankles.
2. My belly feels like a rock and there is NO more room for baby to grow.
3. I get a total of 4 hours of sleep at night.
4. I live off of cereal. (preferrably lucky charms)
5. I no longer get on the scale facing forward at the doc's. I get on backward so I can't see the numbers.
6. Our front and back yard look like a jungle because I can no longer bend over to pull weeds.
7. I have chronic back pain.
8. I asked my doctor to sedate me from now until the baby is due.
9. I started contracting at 3 and a half months along (not kidding) and they have gradually become harder and more often. The other day I was having them 4 minutes apart.
10. I am just starting, but starting nonetheless, to be curious about what this little girl will look like. What if she's ugly???
There are other issues, but they aren't appropriate for this blog. I'm sure all you people reading with any knowledge of pregnancy issues knows and maybe can even feel my pain!!!
Anyway, blah blah blah! The baby is growing at a normal pace and as far as I know, she is healthy, so that's good, right?
So, opinions. I had decided on a date for this baby to come, and now am having doubts, first of all, because of Jonny, and second of all, because I get everyone else's opinions and it confuses me! So, your opinions please? And I will say now, they will not completely effect my decision, but may influence it a little!
I will either have the baby around October 6th, and my doctor will be there to deliver her, OR, I can have her on October 10th, and her birthday will be 10/10/10, (this is the day Jonny REALLY wants), but my doctor will be gone, and I will have another doctor deliver. So, should I choose the date or the doctor? (btw, I really like and trust my doctor!!)
Let me know, would ya???

I'm always a fan of October 3rd.
it's my favorite day of the year.
:)
OK first of all I am totally jealous!!! We set my induction date for Sept. 21st and my Dr. said he can only induce me 7 days before my actual due date. If I were you I would go the full 2 weeks early, just 'cause I'm DONE!!! The only bad thing about 10/10/10 is if you are being induced and the hospital gets full from women going into labor on their own, they'll just have you come back the next day and you won't have your cool date. (but I do love 10/10/10!)
Have her on the 7th. The hospital will be busy on 10/10. Plus I dont like Jonny, so who cares what he says...he got you into this mess!! (it's going to be a cute mess, but still it's been quite the ride!!)
Yay for super fun pregnancy symptoms. yeah....ugh
I say October 3rd too. ;)
One issue with October 3rd. (Dan, you know I'd love to have my babe share her birthday with you) but it's my mother in law's birthday also, and I don't know if I can handle that... not that I don't love her, but, ya know!!!
I'd shoot for Sept. 15th. But that is just me!! I was always like just get the alien thing out of me!! You really need to post pictures (nakes ones) oh whoops, I mean of your belly. I am so glad that you are still alive after this preganancy. A little girl is super fun. (Until they turn almost 12. So enjoy it now.) I am pretty sure she is going to super cute with hair that you can put in piggy tails from day one.
oh man i am so glad I am not pregnant any more! sorry you still have a few weeks to go! If it were me, I would stick with your dr instead of the date, BUT you have done it so many times, you probably could have this baby on auto pilot! haha so I don't know! Love and miss you guys!
