15 Days To Go

15 days left until the delivery.  The days seem to all collide together now.  It's hard to believe that I have been laying here for 3 weeks.  I had a lot of contractions last night but after taking the Ambien and going to sleep they went away.  It was false labor.  My doctor's gut feeling is that I will be here until the 6th and everything will go as planned.  She say's she has been wrong before but she feels pretty good about this delivery.  She felt his butt today.  Unfortunately he feels breach but he could move and things could change.  They will do another ultrasound at the end of next week or the beginning of the following week to estimate his size again.  They haven't checked since the 2nd of January.  At that point they estimated 2 lbs. 10 oz.  They will then do another ultrasound on the morning of the 6th to see how he is positioned.  If his head is down they will go with a vaginal delivery, if he is positioned any other way they will do a c-section.

The problem with a c-section is the fact that I will be here for 4 more days following the delivery.  However if he is not ready to go home, it will make it easier for me to be here for him.   That's 4 more days of terrible food, regardless if I eat it I still have to order it and look at the damn tray.  Speaking of food, my mother is on her way with bologne sandwiches.  

I have decided that when doctors need to perform c-sections on their patients then they need to offer a tummy tuck package.  Wouldn't that be great?  You are already going to be sore after they cut you open and take the baby out, how much trouble could it be to pull some fat out and staple you shut?!  I would have loved to have bought into that package.

The Nordstrom Rack is busy today.  The parking lot is full and people are coming out with their shopping bags.  They don't look like they have been affected by the downfall of the economy.  I see the nurses walk across the street during their breaks to shop.  I see a lot of senior citizens who come from Laguna Woods in the parking lot too causing accidents.  It's quite entertaining. Then there is a security guard who drives around on a segway writing tickets.  When people get back to their car they get angry and usually slam their doors shut.  You aren't supposed to park in the mall parking lot and come to the medical towers or to the hospital.  It's mall parking only.  No one pays attention to the signs though, and they park there and walk across the street. There is a parking structure, but I believe you have to pay to park.

Well it's about time to shower and start Sex and the City.  I am disappointed that American Idol is done for the week.  I miss the 2 hour episodes 3 days a week.  It figures that the year they change it is the year I have to lay around for weeks on end.  At least the Office will be on tonight.  Anyway, thanks for listening.  If anything changes, I'll update the blog.
