I just got back from the 30 week checkup and everything is great. Blood pressure 128/76, a little high but certainly nothing to worry about. Good heartbeat, uterus measuring normal. So yay!
The best news is that the Nurse Practioner gave the go ahead to schedule the c-section, so unless the hospital has a conflict ( or heaven forbid I go into labor early!), Kaitlyn will be born on November 28. Although the scheduled c-sections are done at 7:30 AM which means I’ll have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM. But then I get that whole day with her, and I won’t be exhausted from a day of labor like I was with Ryan. So 61 days to go!

Hello and welcome to Table for Five! I'm Elizabeth, and this blog started in September 2005 as a way for me to participate in the Mommy Blogging community. I'm married with three terrific kids-boys ages 11 and 9 and a 2 year old daughter. Things I love include my family, coffee, Diet Coke, TV, reading, and Target.

Much much better to have it done early in the morning - basically you get a whole extra day in the hospital. I had Tacy at 11:42pm, which meant that those remaining 18 minutes before midnight constituted my first DAY in the hospital. No fair!
And that’s something else I meant to mention - I always told myself that if my BP was OK (which it was) then I had license to forget about my weight.
Glad all is well!
I was SO relieved that my BP was okay. And since my uterus measured normal I know she’s not getting too big, so I was a very happy mom after the appt.
I don’t know what kind of insurance you had with Tacy but mine would have charged me the full copay even for those 18 minutes!
Getting closer!
My mom had me by c-section, and when I came out she said I started to scream, so the doctor dropped me on the floor probably because I scared him, but I was ok because I didn’t fall flat on my body, just landed on my head.
I hope you and your baby have a nice weekend, Elizabeth! I’m Happy that all is well!
The light at the end of the tunnel! November is a lovely month, if I do say so myself (my birthday is the 23rd). I am glad that you and Kaitlyn are doing well!
