I'm trying to hold it together!! I've managed to for this long, I can't fall apart now!! Ahh, only three weeks away! <br /><br />Hi Christi ~ I'm glad you found us!! Everyone else who has commented here also have marvelous blogs; you should check them all out ;) Thankfully she is not measuring big, but I am glad to know that the recovery isn't so bad... I hate the idea of surgery; I've never even had STITCHES! <br /><br />Layne ~ no misunderstanding, but I can't wait to show her off!! In the grand scheme of things, the c-section won't matter much anyway... I just want to MEET her!<br /><br />Bethany ~ You did end up having a vaginal birth, didn't you? Gosh, I really am running out of time, haha, but I really can't wait!~Suzanne~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01679196405914344639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849485290671073725.post-24724782478953962322010-03-05T10:57:49.869-06:002010-03-05T10:57:49.869-06:00Oh wow!

I bet that would be a complete system shock! <br /><br />My OB just told me "If you make it to your due-date we'll do a c-section, and we won't let you go more than 3 days after your due date." Otherwise if I went into labor on my own he'd 'decide from there' what would happen based on a number of things. <br /><br />I can't imagine just being told 'this is the day your baby will be born.' I hope all goes well with it, though! It probably makes it a little more 'real' because you'll be counting down the days and 'running out of time.' heehee! <br /><br />Much love and blessings, darling! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276649825922438933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849485290671073725.post-88959604009684989402010-03-04T16:39:17.625-06:002010-03-04T16:39:17.625-06:00Wow, Suzanne. That would bother me too! I mean, ...Wow, Suzanne. That would bother me too! I mean, as a diabetic I feel like so many decisions are just made for me. I'm sure THAT particular one isn't something I could let go so easily. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to be TOLD what your baby's birthday will be and that, btw, you WILL be having a C-section without any input from you. <br /><br />Maybe it was a big misunderstanding . . . the nurses saw the fax from your Ophth. and just assumed it was a done deal and scheduled your C-section. Either way, I hope that you are able to speak with your OB and get her input and that you can be involved in whatever decision is made and be happy with it. <br /><br />Whatever happens, you will have a very cute little bundle to show for all your hard work in just a few weeks!!Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691790495158501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849485290671073725.post-62070127161976447752010-03-04T15:26:37.740-06:002010-03-04T15:26:37.740-06:00Hey! I just stumbled across your blog. I actually ...Hey! I just stumbled across your blog. I actually recently connected with Layne (Semi Charmed Life) in a similar way. I'm also a type 1 diabetic and had a healthy (though big) baby boy almost 3 years ago now. I know how you feel with all the doctor appointments...it's overwhelming, but so good to know everything is well with the baby. I had a planned induction myself, and then after 12 hours of labor and getting no where I ended up with a c-section. To offer you comfort, the c-section and recovery from it wasn't bad at all. And I don't know if your baby is measuring big, but if so, a c-section is a much easier way to go. I don't think anyone has had a birth go as planned....you've got to go with the flow and trust that things will work out for the best for you and your baby. I hope you feel more settled in the decision once you get to talk more to your OB. It's an exciting time...enjoy it!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05194035455448455660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849485290671073725.post-47259822912065620352010-03-04T15:07:23.755-06:002010-03-04T15:07:23.755-06:00I can SO relate to this whole post!

So when my OB/GYN called me, at home, at 9 pm that night, and said, "So April 29th - does that work for you to come in a deliver the baby?" I was SHOCKED. Not so much by the c-section, because I was kind of expecting it, based on the location of the retinopathy, but just by the sheer magnitude of knowing when my daughter is arriving.<br /><br />It's like being given an official launch date. No waiting for water to break, no dramatic labor stories. Just calm, scheduled delivery. <br /><br />... so why am I terrified? :)<br /><br />(And our babies are due almost exactly a month apart - congrats again!!!)Kerri.http://www.sixuntilme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849485290671073725.post-40793106568217208612010-03-04T13:32:18.295-06:002010-03-04T13:32:18.295-06:00Wow Suzanne, Crazy.

I totally understand that let down of things not going like you planned, but it is quickly replaced when you have that sweet, sweet baby in your arms.<br />I'm interested to hear what your ob says on Friday. (Friday was when I always saw my ob too :)<br />Keep us updated!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414429364983554542noreply@blogger.com
