38

Today I am 38 weeks and just 5 days away from C-Day! I actually had a pretty decent night's sleep last night and I feel pretty good. I feel like there is a ton to do in the next 5 days. The only good thing about being busy is that it will make these next few days go by quickly. So here is a little run own of things we have planned, things that have to be done and things that would be nice to do before next Monday at midnight--when we check in to the hospital.

-I have an appointment to get my hair trimmed today at 2:00. I've decided to keep it long because right after I had both Kirby and Bennett I got a cute haircut that was super high maintenance and I never had the time or energy to deal with it. This time I decided to stay long (it's the longest it's been since I started college) and then maybe do something different later on, plus Stan likes it long.
-Get our Thai visas extended, our initial 30 days will be up in 9 days and I'm expecting next week to be a little crazy. PTL the hospital will take care of most of the work.
-Have my final appointment pre-delivery Friday morning. Hoping there will be no cause for alarm or need to move up the c-section.
-I have to get receipts together and the amounts sent in for our taxes. One of the great things about living overseas is that taxes are a lot less complicated and we get an automatic extension. The bad thing is the automatic extension makes me lazy. Of course it has been really helpful for us this year.
-My mom and stepdad arrive around midnight on Friday...YAY!
-My mom and I want to go get a pedicure and I would love to include a quiet trip to Starbucks in that somehow.
-Maybe a visit to the Aquarium here in town. I would like to see it but didn't want to do the walking before our back up arrived.
-Take Stan for a date lunch at Outback on Monday to celebrate his birthday since we will be in the hospital on Tuesday, his actual birthday. He's turning 36!
-Have my parents stocked with groceries for at least breakfast, lunch and snacks for the few days we will be in the hospital.
-Have all laundry washed, dried and put away.

OK, That list has gotten a lot longer than I originally thought. I think it can all be done. Oh and in case you were trying to figure out exactly when we would be in the hospital having Judah the c-section is scheduled for 7 am Tuesday the 21st, that will be 8 pm Monday the 20th east coast time. I'm hoping to have at least an update on FB shortly after the surgery (thanks to Stan's new ipod touch) and then a blog by the time everyone wakes up on Tuesday morning. I may not have much time to post over the weekend but I will hopefully have at least one last belly shot before we go in. Have a great weekend...I know I will. :)
