Quick Update

My C-Section is scheduled for November 14th at 11:15am. Baby Duncan will be here in 2 weeks (or less)...per my appointment yesterday I am not dilated at all so it's very doubtful I'll go into labor anytime real soon. Fine by me - we still have lots to get done around here plus work is a zoo!

We take Belue for a second opinion (ie a second price!!! ouch!!!) this week but surgery is definitely in her future. As in near future - so we'll bring home a newborn and a gimpy doggie at the same time. Busy times around here!

Happy Halloween!

Season Ending Injury?

No, I am not talking about a Tech or UGA player...it's our very own Belue. Our vet thinks she has a torn ACL and we have to go to a specialist soon for a MRI on the back right knee. Surgery is probable and we aren't sure about rehab...but we hope to have her back at full strength for Spring Practice!

Yes, it's always something with these dogs. All I can do is shake my head...my dog has an injury that most of us relate to athletes. She thinks she one too - this dog has no clue she is supposed to be fat and lazy. Instead she loves to run and jump and will go for hours if you let her. Trying to keep her somewhat still these days is tricky.

Belue may not be the only one having surgery. I went to my 35 wk appt yesterday and another ultrasound confirms that Baby D is still enjoying the head up/ booty down position. She has not budged in over 4 weeks. We have a little more time for her to move before we have to make a final decision about a C section. If we do have to go that route, I will be scheduled for the week of Nov 13th, as that is one week prior to my due date. Obviously this is not how I "planned" for things to go but all I want is a healthy baby girl so we'll do whatever is necessary and/or safest for her arrival. We do have the option of trying external version and we will decide on that very soon.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their week. And Happy Birthday to my little bro...19 this Sunday. YIKES!

Turn, turn, turn

Baby D wants to take her time...she is still breech per my appt this morning. So we'll cross our fingers/toes that she decides to flip sometime within the next 3 weeks. And I'll try a few of these old wives tales I've read...although burning incense between your toes is a little too "out there" for me. Sorry kiddo.

No football games to attend in October since we aren't going to any away games. I tried to get the OK for Jacksonville at the end of the month but apparently Florida is not considered "local travel"...who knew? Ha Ha. We have plans every weekend though, not to mention we still have lots of baby stuff to finish. My assistant is coming down from VA so I can show her how to do some things that aren't really "explainable" via phone. However since I work from home I highly doubt I'll ever be too far from the computer, since the nursery is across the hall.

Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler temps!
