Making a schedule
I've been thinking alot about the possibility of having a leap year (day) baby. I think that would be awful! Yeah, people joke about it, but I don't think it would be very funny for her. Having a birthday only every few years (we would celebrate every year, of course, but...) I just know I wouldn't like it, myself. So, we're going to plan an induction for either the 26th, 27th, or 28th of Feb. I prefur the 26th or 27th to avoid hitting the midnight mark if we induce the 28th. Although I'm due March 3rd, my Doctor will be leaving town on the 29th and will be gone for about 5 days. I want her to be the delivery doctor, too. And after my friend's complications from giving birth after her due date, we would rather she were born a little early rather than a little late. Besides that, it would give Jeremy more time with us because he gets 7 work days off. Dr. Lubkin said that next week I will be consitered full term. The week after that is going to be my first "examination" visit, then I have an appointment every week. We're going to discuss home inducing options and when it's safe for me to start them, and what day will be the most convenient to induce with patocin at the hospital. The Doctor said that everything is going great, and I'm very healthy. I lost .7 pounds in the past 2 weeks, but that's not something to worry about. It's confusing a little though, because I've been eating so much! I'm really excited to be in the home stretch. We still have a lot to take care of before she arrives, though. We hope to get our taxes back in time so we can get all the things she needs. Since we didn't get a baby shower this time, we only have about 6 peices of clothing for her. That's all. We also plan on moving to a new apartment before she's born, too. We're just waiting for a W-2 form and we'll be able to get started. I found a really cheep place to buy all the things she'll need. It's called "We Love Kids" and everything is so affordable and they have almost EVERYTHING! Also, my very close friend is currently looking for a car to drive up here (4 hours) to bring boxes of baby clothes and maybe a baby bath. So, here's hoping everything falls into place!!!
