We have a date!!!

July 28th, 2011 is the scheduled birth date for Payton.

We were just a bit shocked that its almost a full week ahead of what we were expecting and while we did question some of the decisions behind the bumped up week (we know that getting to 38 w and beyond is best for CDH babies), the various factors behind our situation (ie Previa) certainly create additional unwanted risks the longer we wait.  So from the Peri's point of view, 37 weeks and 4 days vs 38 weeks and 3 days is close enough if we can avoid an emergency section due to another possible bleed.

So there you have it, I was anticipating another 3+ weeks to go and now we're down to 2 weeks and 2 days.

On another note (and Dwayne thinks I'm a nut in my thinking policy), July 28th is absolutely perfect.

The boys were born on the 7th, Olivia born on the 14th and Payton is scheduled to be born on the 28th (see the pattern??).

For Dwayne I think its an easy trick to remember dates, for me, its another number to add to our Lotto 649 numbers (that we managed to play about twice a year :)).  This week its 40 mil so maybe its a good time to try out that # 28.
