Work has been very interesting this week, our office is relocating tomorrow and in order to get ready the moving men have been there all week. We saw patients at the old office today, and we will be at the new office tomorrow seeing patients! We have no day off to prepare the office or anything, we will only be seeing a few patients, about 20, and we usually see at least twice that, but still, I don’t know how well it is going to go tomorrow. I was so glad I only had a half day today, I couldnt take much more of the chaos.
Today’s appointment with my ob went well. He said my cervix isn’t doing anything so I won’t be going too early if I go early at all but that I we would have the baby by August 12th at the latest. He said between August 10-12, if I haven’t started labor by then on my own. He didn’t seem too concerned about Caleb being so big, he said he will be about 8 lbs 5 oz. at the rate he is going but I am so afraid he is going to gain more than 1/2 lb a week. But my sugar has been wonderful so he might just gain a 1/2 lb a week til he is born.
I was so thrilled that Dean went with me today. He hasn’t been able to go to my ultrasounds or regular appointments because we want him to save his time off for when Caleb is actually here. But he took an early lunch today, sacrified not being able to eat, just to be with me. It wasn’t that it was that important of an appointment, but I think he felt he needed to be there. I was glad too, it is so nice to see him during the day, it makes for a nicer afternoon. But I dont expect that he’ll be at many more of my appts or ultrasounds which probably sucks for him because I am so fortunate to see our little angel every week but he can’t be there. I wish he could though, I think he gets more of a kick out of the ultrasound pics than I do.
Yesterday Dean and I discussed my not working much longer, but we both know that I will only get 6 weeks of disability and if I use that now then I wont be around for Caleb after he is here. I hate that! I would love to not have to work, now or later. I am struggling with it every morning when I get ready, especially lately as it is harder for me to get going and harder for me to do some of the routine things I do at work. But things have been getting better with my health here lately, so maybe I will just make it, even if it is difficult. I mean I only have 4 more weeks. And I think maybe the change of office will help make it a little easier on me, I will be closer to Dean’s work so we can car pool and my job duties will be changing drastically. So I think after tomorrow things may get easier, I can only hope.
I sure can’t wait to hear how Cheryl is doing! And I hope Hilary gets some relief soon! I think I’ll write down in a journal while I am at the hospital and have Dean update my blog for me from that. But I am sure he will update his and write tons about Caleb before I get a chance too.
Have I ever mentioned how wonderful my hubby is!?
