Doctor Appointment at 36 weeks

I had my doctor's appointment today and I go back in one week on September the 4th. He said the ultrasound results from 2 weeks ago look great....the baby scored an 8 out of 8 on it (whatever that means), so everything looks wonderful! That is good to hear since I am still getting chills and pretty much living nauseas! This baby also gets the hiccups more than Paul or Preston ever did!

As for the scheduled date of delivery, my doctor is definitely going to be out of town giving seminars on Wednesday, September 17, so we have two choices, of which neither is set in stone: 1) we can do it on another day or 2) we can schedule it for that day and let another doctor deliver the baby. There is a third possible option and that is scheduling the delivery for the 17th in the evening and he can come back and deliver the baby himself. We won't know if that is truly a choice until next week, so like I said, everything is still up in the air! And, he said, it may not matter much if I go into labor before that day anyway! I really don't know what I want to do.....it would be nice to have him on dad's bday, but it almost seems like too much trouble, which makes me just want to schedule another day. (It would be the week of the 15th through the 19th) I guess in the end it doesn't really matter much, as long as the baby comes out on time and healthy! I'm open to hearing people's opinions, so let me know what you think!!!

On another note, the boys were supposed to go to Charmaine's house today while I went to my appointment, but both boys started with runny noses last night and a lot of congestion. Preston seems to have it worse and has been running fever and even threw up at 4:30 am. this morning. Needless to say, they didn't go there because I don't want to get her kids sick. Luckily, Paul was able to meet me at the doctor's office to take the kids while I had my appointment. It was the first one where he checks to see if I am dilating and we thought that little Paul is a bit too old to be in there for that! (too many unnecessary questions!) Anyway, Paul took them to Home Depot and then to Wendy's, but while they were at Home Depot they each got an apron and a wooden bird house to make with daddy! Well, little Paul talked about it the entire ride home and he has not stopped yet! He wants daddy to come home now to put the bird house together!!! I thought it was cute!
