This morning, Tony and I had a routine visit with my OB-GYN, Dr Yang. At the advice of the ultrasound technician and our perinatologist, we are moving up my due date. Dr Yang is doing so hesitantly because he did an ultrasound at our first visit and he feels that there is no way I was further along than 7-8 weeks. Well, on 12/7 Dr Catanzarite, my perinatal specialist says that according to the bone density tests that the baby was weighing approximately 3 pounds and they can't blame me for what I eat because at that point, I had only gained a total of 8 pounds. So today, Dr Yang told Tony and I that he is moving the due date up but not to panic about it because he's going to let me go as long 10-14 days over before he would induce. This makes my new due date February 22nd (it was 3/13). OK, now I'm starting to panic as my father in law still hasn't bought our crib, I need Tony to get a few days off so we can get the baby's room put together, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that's only 3 weeks earlier, but I had everything timed out and my anal retentive nature isn't handling this well.
Meanwhile, I was able to sweet talk the lady at the hospital in charge of scheduling classes to fit us into the child birth education classes and me into the breast feeding class as well for January. Whew! Ok, that's one thing off my list.

Wow! I'm sure that's kind of a shock to the system! But you'll be fine and everything will get done and hey if your baby is born 2 days after your new due date...he/she can share my birthday!
