Im almost there....

Well I had my 32 week check up today with my Dr and I feel a little relieved to say the least! So I have been kind of freaking out about the whole "timing" issue of the birth. As many of you know Cam and I will be in Chicago for the summer for his Internship, and well he has to report there on June 3rd...not to mention he has to drive the 26 hours to get there too. So if you do the math it doesn't really add up since my due date is May 30th. That means if the baby is born on his due date, Cameron would have to leave on like the 31st just to make the drive ( and stop to sleep ) by the 3rd. So this has been a serious concern of ours but we have tried to not think about it until recently. We kind of thought my blood pressure issue would possibly come back and if it did I wouldn't have made it to 40 weeks anyway, well it hasn't come back yet which I'm OK with because bed rest was not for me. Anyway long story short, my doctor says because I measure about 3 weeks ahead and my swelling issues he doesn't think I'll make it to 40 weeks, probably more like 38 (Hallelujah!). At 38 weeks babies are fully developed and still concerned full term. He said he still isn't going to change my due date but assures me that I wont be going my full 40 weeks (can you imagine at 40 weeks I would measure 43 weeks!) So I feel a little better knowing that my Cameron and I will be together for the birth and he will be able to be home for a solid week or so after the baby is born. My only other stress is being home after the baby is born without Cameron since the baby and I wont fly to Chicago until he is about 3 to 4 weeks old. I know I will have my mom with me, she will be staying the night with me for a few days, I just worry a little about the emotional aspect of it, but luckily I have great friends and family to help me keep my sanity!
