So whoever said a c-section was "planned" was WAY off!

So today, Jon & I had another quick change of events!! We went to our routine dr appointment today at lunch time. Everything starts out normal...we check in & are just sitting waiting in the lobby. By 40 weeks, we have now made friends with all the fun nurses & receptionists in the office (mainly b/c Jon likes to give all of them a hard time...and they give him a hard time about the gel in his hair!). Anyway, so we're just sitting there waiting in the lobby, both laughing at & feeling Reed because he was moving SO much, and then... it happened. The receptionist looked at us with this big, happy smile on her face, and goes "So...tomorrow's the big day, huh?" After Jon & I sat there in silence for a couple of seconds starring at her, I responded with "huh? Wait, what's tomorrow?" This was the rest of the conversation:

Receptionist: Yeah, you guys are having the baby tomorrow, right?

Christie/Still Speechless Jon: Oh no, we are having ours on Thursday.

Receptionist: Hmm (looks back at the computer screen)...no you're Christie, right?

Christie/Jon still has mouth open: Uh, yeah. (I am now second guessing myself at this point...am I??)

Receptionist (who is now starting to laugh & turn red): Uh Yeah, we have you guys down for tomorrow at noon. Oh...shoot...I hope I didn't just stick my foot in my mouth.

Christie/Jon is now laughing hysterically because I am now white as a ghost: No, no...please keep talking. So we're having a baby to....tomorrow?? Oh...um...are you sure?? ooooooook...???

Receptionist (Now realizes, yeah...this is obviously not how they were supposed to find out about it): Ok, well I gotta go, but you'll want to talk to the Doctor about that.

Yeah we will, you think?? The other ladies in the lobby are now all laughing hysterically at this whole thing.

The nurse calls us back, and she still has no idea what is going on here. I think I went back into a speechless shock, and the nurse goes, "wow, you're awefully calm today". That's when I let her know that it was probably because I thought we were having a baby on Thursday, not tomorrow!

Needless to say, my always regular & right-on blood pressure was through the roof! They took it 3 times because it was so high. Finally my doctor took it again at the end of the appointment & it was back down to normal...I guess heart attacks aren't great for your blood pressure!!

Turns out, there was some miscommunication (an understatement) between our Doctor & the nurse who schedules the procedure with the hospital. My chart said that June 4th was the date, but the 3rd would be the next choice if nothing was available on the 4th. The nurse read the chart & just saw that we could go with either the 3rd OR 4th, so she just scheduled us for the 3rd. I never heard back from the doctor's office that is was NOT scheduled for the 4th, and I figured someone would have called me IF I WAS HAVING A BABY TOMORROW!?

Oh well, just glad we found out before I missed the birth of my child tomorrow!!

So tomorrow at noon it is! We will keep you posted with updates & pictures on here, so stay tuned!! Never a dull moment...and I'm sure many more exciting times to come in the near future!
