The Picture to the Right is Wrong

Apparently that's what your baby looks like if he is not "breech." Connor is kicking it upright in Candace's belly right now. Looks like we can skip the child-birth classes and only attend the Cesarean classes along with the infant CPR classes. We have yet to attend a class so that is great. Glad I am starting off on the right foot here as a parent. Now that soccer is over we should be able to knock out these classes in no time.

Also, since some of you may or may not know I am going to inform you all that Candace was really sick on Friday night (May 2nd) into the early hours of Saturday morning with some kind of stomach bug. We woke up early Saturday morning and attempted to visit the Urgent Care to get treated, but ended up getting sent down to CMC in Charlotte where we visited the ER and got 2 liters of fluids in Candace and some much needed rest. On a side note I think it is totally badass that the hospital has Fox Soccer channel on their TVs. Maybe this child birth thing won’t be so bad after all.

After we spent a good 2 hours in the ER, got treated by two people from the cast of Gray’s Anatomy (the DR was about 18 and the nurse was hot) we were sent up to the Maternity center on the 8th floor to be observed for a few more hours. Candace’s doctor did not seem to be too worried so that was refreshing. We left about 3:00 pm after being there since 9:00 am. The hospital cafeteria has pretty good bacon cheeseburgers so I know Duncan will be happy when he comes to visit his nephew later this month or next.

We also found out that Connor is measuring at 40 weeks! Everyone kept saying that if they had to deliver the baby today it would not be a problem. Can you say bullshit?! That would be a major problem as I have not totally mentally prepared myself for this yet. I don’t know if we even have any diapers, nor do I know how to change one yet. Candace did not like the idea of Connor coming this weekend either so I am glad I wasn’t the only one not ready for him just yet.

Candace is at home today and tomorrow resting and recuperating from the dehydration and lack of sleep. I guess the lack of sleep is something we should get used to, huh? That is all for now.
