Finally!
I am four weeks away from a SCHEDULED C-section!
Now, I can at least rest my head on having that appointment and knowing how and when and the specifics of what has to be done beforehand. And it's a lot!
I have to do to pre-op interviews and get pre-op labwork. What a pain!
Anyway, yippee!
We're scheduled for Jan. 2, 7:30 am.
It's kind of odd to schedule your kid's birthday!

So tonight over dinner my mom asked how far along you are and I mentioned that you're scheduled to deliver Jan. 3 (that was before I read this post). Then my dad claimed that if you delivered on the 31st you can claim your child on your taxes or something and get a break... I don't know if he's full of shit, but hey, that'd get you a second kid a full two days earlier!
scheduling birthdays is quite common here although for a different reason...mums try to schedule an 'auspicious' day to give birth. dates like 20-05-2005 are really popular.they book up the whole hospital and hinder those whose babies were really due that day.
That's great news! I'm sure you're more than ready.
Eleeza - Garo is correct. If this darling child was born during the year 2005, even just the very last day, I could claim him on my taxes.
Pretty sneaky eh?
I am just too glad to actually have a date now, I don't want to push my luck with my less than ideal doctor.
January 3rd is my birthday. I always got cheated in the presents & parties department because it was so close to Christmas & New Year's. Don't let that happen to your baby, OK?
I promise to gift my child profusely for both Christmas and his birthday. I vow to not fall prey to Donna Martin Syndrome.
Hey, at least Amy's dad got underwear. I often got 1 gift for Christmas & was told it was for my birthday too. And I have never had a birthday party in my life *sigh* It's not easy being an early January child.
BTW who, pray tell, is Donna Martin?
My goodness!
This may warrant a whole new post.
