The End is in Sight

I got a call from my doctor's office this morning. At my 30w appointment on Friday, we discussed scheduling another C-section if I didn't go into labor on my own by my due date. I really want to try to have Reagan naturally, but I also don't want to be overdue. So, now we have a definite plan. If I don't go into labor and deliver on my own ahead of time, I will be having Reagan by C-section on Tuesday, November 21, 2006 at 7:30 a.m. That was the soonest date my doctor had available...and it just happens to be my due date!

I was hoping that we'd be able to schedule it earlier, like the week before, so I'd be at home for Thanksgiving. However, it looks like that's not the case. Shawn and I had talked about having Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year, but if I end up having Reagan on the 21st, that won't be possible. So, I guess we need to talk to our families and encourage them to make other plans for Thanksgiving, which may not be a bad idea anyway...even if I do have her earlier. Our little family may not be able to be there for the celebration, but we'll be celebrating with them in spirit! At any rate, our newest baby girl will be here by Thanksgiving...yet another blessing for us to be thankful for!
