Sorry guys...

Still no date set. I don't quite understand why we have to wait so long, but the doctor said Baptist hospital won't even schedule them this early. It's hard to believe that with it being the number one baby hospital in this city- do I have to wait until a month before?! I'm frustrated but what do you do? During my exam, he thought my cervix felt short (which is the same as effacing) so we did an ultrasound to check it out. It was right at 3cm so that is good and means I'm not effacing much yet. He wants to check me again next week to make sure there haven't been changes- we don't want a baby this early! I have major pelvic bone pain at night and some in the day so he was concerned of that being so early as well. I had Erin at the end of my 37th week and he said most babies come around the same time. When I asked when the c-section would be scheduled he said between Sept 8-15 (which is my 38th week) but he didn't think I would last that long! Great! The thought of me going into labor and heading to the hospital at midnight like last time freaks me out- I have Erin to watch after now and no one would be able to be at the hospital with their work schedules. It's much easier this time around to have it planned out! That means she would be here in like 5 weeks!!! We want to make it to atleast 37 weeks! Oh yeah, that's the same week Erin starts preschool 2 days a week. I want to be able to take and pick her up a few times- poor thing, she has so much change coming up in her life.

I can make my schedule pretty flexible if need be. If you need help with anything during that time/at the hospital when your mom and andrew are at work I can make it happen!
