Only 4 more weeks left!

So I officially have four weeks left before my scheduled c-section. So I guess mark your calendars for April 21st 7:30ish am Mr. Callum James Shelby will be here. Unless he is like me and decides that it is better to be early than arrive on time. So help me I need him to take after Mike and be on time or late. (Sorry honey, but it is true)

Everything is going well so far. I did have to spend a few days in the hospital early March due to a sinus infection. I know what you are thinking, what a wimp, but I have a good excuse...it was not your typical sinus infection. I had a horrible headache that was only getting worse not better. We made one trip the the ER (morphine helped, but it was still there) and then called the doc the next day and she admitted me for a neurological consult. So they hooked me up, doped me up and gave me a MRI. There is no way I could have laid still for 30 min and be in that stupid small machine without being heavily sedated. OMG I knew I was claustrophobic, but this takes it to new heights. Long story short I had a acute sinus infection in my middle brain sinus cavity. No other sinus infection precursors, signs or warnings. Pregnancy masks everything. Either way long story short a few days in hospital two weeks off work and lots of pain meds and antibiotics and we are current. I am much better. Still off work, but still have a headache. Mike and Ava have taken very good care of me.

In other news, we are to weekly visits to the baby doc. Since I have so much medicine in my system I get weekly sonograms and non-stress test monitoring of Callum. Longer visits, but at least I know my little boy is okay.

As for work, well...I hope to go back Monday the 29th. I know just for three weeks before I go out for 8 weeks of maternity leave. What timing. Keep your fingers crossed I get to go back. Actually part of me wants to just stay home until going back for good, but I think I will have either cleaned everything in sight or driven Mike nuts.

Okay sorry so long of a written post. I will try to post some pics soon of Ava Lynn Shelby (as she now calls her self).
