John called me at school this morning to tell me that his sister had her baby today. He has red hair. Not that there is anything wrong with red hair but Joey is the only one in the family that has red hair and I have been trying to get rid of him forever. It would be just my luck that my baby will have red hair and be born on April Fools Day.
Today I got to leave school early because I had appointments. Yeah, it is almost over.
First I had to go pick up John. He likes it when I have appointments because he gets out of work early.
We went to the diabetes doctor. My blood hasn't been too bad. I sure will be glad when I don't have to check it 7 times a day and take 4 shots. She did an ultrasound and said the baby was about 5 1/2 pounds, which is small because I am due in 3 weeks. She says it would probably be best if we have the baby before next week. Then I had a Non-Stress Test. While I was hooked to the monitor the heart beat went down and I told John we might be having a baby today. Wouldn't that be strange me and his sister having our baby's on the same day. Well the nurse said they called my OB because of the heart rate. She said that it is something that happens and if I wouldn't have been on the monitor we never would have known but since I was they just couldn't ignore it. My OB wanted me to go to the hospital to get monitored.
So we left and went to pick up JR. We had to call a friend to have her watch JR and Cassandra.
We got to the hospital and the nurse said " Oh are you the c section for tomorrow" OMG, I hope not. So they get me all settled in and they say that since it is late 7p my OB will do the c section in the morning. Just my luck. He says I can tell my baby he was born on the 2nd. Yeah, right. So around 10p they give me an Ambian and that was it for the night.
