We're as rested as we'll ever be. We've enjoyed going out for food and ice cream. Doug's cousin, Melia, reminded me about enjoying some good food before the surgery, because that first day afterwards is a liquid and jello diet. Both my boss and Doug's cousin, Matt, had babies in Sleepy Hollow, NY and they got champagne and steak dinners at the hospital. Bah Humbug.
We had our last appointment last Wednesday with the other Dr. in the practice. He was the other surgeon for my myomectomy and they make sure their patients see the other Dr. once or twice in case they happen to be on-call when you show up at the hospital. Excellent blood pressure, as usual. That's my best catagory. Seems my total baby gain is about 38lbs, and we only caught up with the neighborhood ice cream truck once. It turns out I'm not going to benefit from the Allegar genetics of early labor, not a contraction to be had leading up to this and if I had completed this birthing mission by 4 days ago I'd have missed getting a single stretch mark....they came overnight about last Thursday on one side only along where his little rump is situated solid as a rock.
We've been taking daily walks about 2-3 miles out to long Island Sound and back the weather has been beautiful. Wednesday looks wet and cloudy for our early and long day. The labor and delivery department called last week to tell us to come earlier than the Drs. said to. Now we are to be there at 5:30, something about having enough time to drink a liter or so of water...not sure what that's about or if I misunderstood. We'll find out soon enough.
