Harper Update- 39 weeks and 4 days

If you would have asked me at week 37 if I thought I would still be pregnant by now, I would have said no. For some reason, I was always thinking this baby would be early. I was even hoping she would be born in July and that was weeks ago.... Well, here we are. Almost full term and still no signs that this baby is coming anytime (other than being dilated to a 3). At my last appointment, my doctor scheduled me for an elective induction on August 9th. We were so excited because that date worked great for seth's schedule and was even a day earlier than my due date! She said the hospital would call me early the next week to confirm that they could fit me in on that date.

Well, today I got the call that they can't fit me in on the 9th. ugh. 

So, now I have my regular doctor visit on that day instead of meeting my little girl. boo. That's no fun at all. I did however, get a new date for induction if I still haven't had her yet.... August 13th. Seth is concerned that she will have her birthday at some point on 'friday the 13th'. yikes. Ohh the things daddy worries about ;) We will hope that she comes on her own before then! 

On a residency side note- Seth has been working the night shift all week. It is such a weird schedule, I feel like I never see him! He goes to the gym at about 4:45 pm, goes straight to work at 6 pm, gets to work at 7, and gets home about 8:30 am. He then goes straight to bed (with ear plugs and a face mask) only to wake up for lunch around 1. Then back to bed it is till about 4! Needless to say, I've missed my husband this week. I'm just glad he only has 1 more shift and then he will work days for the rest of the month. YAY! He has done a lot of procedures that he's never done before, so at least he's learning! 

I meant to do a separate post about this, but I'm just going to include it with this one.... Last monday was my birthday and Seth and I spent it down in Galveston. We went to beach, the strand, dinner at Gaido's, and stayed at the Galvez (the place we got married 4 years ago and haven't been back to since). It was such a fun day, I told seth we need to try to make an effort to do more things like that on his days off!
