oh it was so nice to have our office close at 1pm. of course, there was an emergency, and i had to stay. i just couldn't leave someone stuck. i was able to help with something that seemed kind of minor, but it turned out that i helped avoid a huge catastrophe. made me very happy that i hung on. i still got home before 3pm, so i have no complaints.
yesterday we saw the doctor. maggie is once again breech. she's 7 pounds, 4 oz, which isn't so bad. i thought she might have hit 8 pounds by now, so i'm happy with that. the doctor isn't too worried about her change in position. she's done this like 2 or 3 times now. he feels we should wait and see, keep checking weekly, but if my water breaks or labor starts, no fucking around. i need to go directly to the hospital. no problem doc. it was the first time he mentioned the possibility of a c-section. i told him i'm absolutely fine with that if that's what's needed. he will not get a fight from me. just take care of my child.
oh! and i asked him if i could do one blood test per day since the diabetes really doesn't seem like a problem. he said absolutely. thank god. it was getting to be such a drag and i've skipped tests because they simply do not go up. if i ate more carbs, i'd test. so now i feel much happier. blood pressure is fine and i gained a bit more weight.
our friend who works downstairs, and who will be watching maggie when we are both working (it's going to be 2 hours a day for 2 days a week, or something really great like that) came up to the apartment with gifts for her! lots of onesies and they're progressively sized, socks, a snuggly blanket, a fold up bathtub and lots more! what a sweetheart. and my sister came by last night with her gift. a graco travel system!!! yeah!!!! we're so excited. maggie's room is brimming with stuff. we can't get over it. i think we're going tomorrow to buy her a changing table/dresser. i don't know if we're getting a crib yet, since she's going to be in a co sleeper for the first 3 months or so in our room with us.
i have a sneaking suspicion that i have my real baby shower tomorrow. i'm excited.
okay. i have nothing more to report for today. i have to go figure out how to buy a nursing bra and what will i need to pack for the hospital. i really feel like maggie is ready and might be coming very soon!! damn the breech position, she's finished with the womb soon enough!

OOOoooh! Any day, any minute, any second! No fucking around, indeed!
And on the nursing bra tip: On this 3rd go around: I made the decision to remain unflappable and have foregone the expense and the fussiness of the traditional nursing bra. I can't say enuf good things about the t-strap sports bra. they are easily liftable and the only drawback is the dreaded uni-boob. but i have learned to embrace the uni-boob :0)
