Information overload

I had a baby doctor appointment yesterday and found out some interesting stuff.

First, I will be having monthly ultrasounds in St. Cloud from now on as they want to closely monitor my little girl's growth. Because I take some medications, they want to make sure that none of those are hindering her growth. So far, that's not the case. She's right where she's supposed to be.

Secondly, I will definitely be having a C-section...but I wasn't surprised by that. In light of my blood pressure issues and current situation regarding my back/hip/leg, I was pretty much thinking C-section.

Thirdly, what I WASN'T thinking was that I would have my baby girl somewhere other than at St. Joe's! But guess what? I'll more than likely have her at Abbott in the Twin Cities! Not at all what I was thinking....and was quite shocked to be told this news yesterday without Todd being there with me. My doctor just kind of dumped it all on me!

But, the more I thought about this and talked with a few people, I realized it will be better to have a plan in place, rather than everyone having a high stress level (including me) and operating under an emergency situation. I don't want that either.

I just want what is best for me and the baby so if that means traveling a little farther from home to bring this beautiful girl in the world, so be it.
