I went to the doctor today to check up on baby and to schedule a C-Section since she is still breech. Last time I went they said, if I chose C-Secion, the 19th would be my date. That is not the case! We have to wait another whole week - until the 26th - to meet this darling little girl.
There are plenty of great reasons to wait until as late as possible: Her lungs will be totally fully developed, if I start having contractions that will stimulate her systems, she'll be a bigger size (therefore probably healthier) baby. Lots of things. But that doesn't keep me from wanting to whine about it. Many of my friends will be off on adventures by that time - 5 weeks in Ireland, 1 year in China, off to finish their education here there or where ever. Also, as I mentioned before, I hate waiting. This means 11 more days instead of just 4. Unless of course I go into labor before the 26th.
My mother gave me one bit of perspective: "At least you won't have to wait beyond your due date. You know if she doesn't come next week she will definitely be here by the 26th. I went into labor 3 days after my due date!"
