Helloooo! Hope everyone is doing well. I can't believe I only have 6 weeks to go.

I have changed my doctor as of today...well technically I saw a midwife today and then will see a surgeon Doc at the end of the month. With my new doctor's office, apparently I can have a VBAC and will talk to the surgeon about it in a few weeks! I am very excited altho my hubby would like me to think about it a bit more. We'll see what the surgeon says tho and go from there.

As for the appt: BP is up to 144/87 from 100/60 so they is a little concerned there and we are monitoring it. I am swelling a teeny bit and having period-like pains...they gave me a handout on preterm labor and told me to call if I get any new symptoms or the ones I have get worse. Sooo I guess it's a waiting game.

Hubby had bought us tix to Las Vegas for next week for a last hurrah before the birth and he is considering not going now. I said don't worry about it for now and we'll see how this upcoming week goes...whatchall think? ↓

I would say be 100% ready for anything but go to Vegas and try and have a good time. :) Its nice of your husband to want to go for alittle trip before the baby comes. Who knows if you dont go, after you have the baby you might wish you would have went. ↑

That's what I think :) Course I want to go and relax before the upcoming excitement, but I would like my hubby to be happy about the decision...today I think he's thought about it and we basically said, if the baby's born in Vegas, well then so be it :) ↑

Wow Karen I can't believe how close it is! Also I just realized it's only 16 days until our kiddos birthday!!

As far as Vegas is concerned, I will say that at 34 weeks we were planing on going to California to see my Grandpa for his birthday, and I really wanted to go, but something told me to stay home. Well the next week is when I had Brooke. Who knows if the trip would have put me into labor even sooner...just be careful and go with your intuition. ↑

I know, I can't believe it's gone so quickly! And I have no idea what I am going to do for Wyatt for his bday...what are you plans?

As for the trip, still planning to leave on Thursday...I have been able to relax all weekend and got my BP down to more normal so I thinking it's ok...wow as for your intuition tho!! I hope mine's correct hehe ↑
