97 days to go

Til our due date, according to the BabyCenter app on my phone. Also. The baby looks like a baby and not a tadpole. The Cannoli is moving around a lot these days and sometimes I get some big jabs you can see from the outside which is pretty cool.

This was a crappy week for me in the medical system:
- I was the subject of a HIPAA breach at the lab above my OB's office. I still need to write a complaint (my second complaint about this lab in the last two months).
- I just barely failed my glucose challenge test. Agh, I am blaming the banana I had for breakfast before I took the test. What this means is Monday morning I have to do a three hour glucose test which involves drinking some nasty sugary drink and getting my blood drawn every hour for three hours. Terrible.
- And at my OB appt Monday my doctor said I'm measuring big and casually mentioned I may want to think about a c-section. Um, what? I'm semi surprised she would say this, especially this early. But I'm going to proceed with my doula and building our birth plan and if at my ultrasound in a few weeks we see some giant baby, who also is breech or some other valid reason for a major invasive surgery, then I guess I'll think about a c-section.

In other news, after wearing the same Walmart moomoo everyday for five days in a row, I went and bought another one in a different color. This is an excellent development. And tonight Dan and Lindsay are coming over to help us with the nursery, pics surely to follow.

I think I'm getting pretty excited for our Cannoli to arrive. Sometimes 14 weeks, 97 days, or 3 months (depending on your preferred time metric) seems so far away and other times I know it's just going to fly. I sort of can't picture our lives with a baby around but I guess that'll all take shape soon enough.
