Less than 12 hours before boogie makes his first solo appearance. I'm excited and scared and excited. I made it to 39 weeks, with my low amniotic fluid checked every couple days. And since boogie is still breech, I have a planned c-section tomorrow. It's strange knowing - actually picking - the baby's birth date. A strange output of calendar availability for us and our preferred ob-gyn (Norrell at St. Luke's); and lucky numbers (apparently my husband's favorite number is 2). Boogie is fortunate to get a numeric palindrome - 1/12/11. However, he misses binary - 1/10/11 or 1/11/11 - though I frankly couldn't figure out what either of these meant, if anything.
I have to confess that I'm scared of the c-section surgery. I know that 27% of births in the US are via c-section, so it's a routine procedure, but I am not looking forward to the longer recovery, not being able to go up and down stairs, etc. Moreover, I'm not good at asking for help - learning to ask will be my biggest challenge.
