Tumble Bumble Right Off of Cloud Nine

So I had a Doctor's appointment today and he scheduled my c-section for October 19th. Deep down inside I knew that couldn't possibly be my 38-week mark, but I really wanted it to be and so I pretended all the way home that he was right and I was wrong and I really would be delivered come mid-October. But that nagging feeling wouldn't leave me alone and when I mentioned it to Mark he confirmed my suspicions--the doctor had to be wrong. Even then I tried to convince myself that one week wasn't going to make that much of a difference and that I shouldn't worry about it. But the words of my mom's friend Birgid kept running through my head--"Tell Shana to get those babies as big as she can before they are born." And I'm smart enough to know that yes, even a week would make a huge difference for the babies. So. . . I finally gave in and called the doctor and yes, he was wrong and I was right. So he rescheduled my c-section for October 25th and dashed my high hopes into a million tiny pieces. I know it's only six days longer but yes, even six days makes a huge difference when you are pregnant, no matter how many babies you are carrying.

AAWWHH Shana... Sorry. I am with Birgid though get those babies lungs and size up while you can. Maybe schedule a six day vacation for you as a Mommy and other than loving those kids and hubby, put your feet up and eat Ben and Jerry's for those six days! :) Denise

I remember feeling just the way you are feeling. I always wanted to have my babies a week or two early and I always wanted twins. At least you are fulfilling one of my dreams for me! May the next few weeks go very, very fast!

You know as well as anyone that once they're out you'll have even less opportunity to rest than you do now. In or out doesn't make much difference at this point, does it? Hang in there, sis.
