Amy has been feeling 1-2 contractions per day, on a daily basis. We were wondering if Dr. Chen would just tell us to check-in to the hospital and get Alicia out! But instead, Dr. Chen predicted that Alicia will be born within the next 10 days.
Shockingly, the prediction wasn't the breaking news of the day. Instead, as Dr. Chen was looking at the chart, he mentioned that our C-Section is scheduled on July 13.
"No, it's July 15." We said.
"Let's check with the Nurse outside." Dr. Chen said.
Click, click, click... look, look, look...
"Yes, you are scheduled for July 13 at 7am." The Nurse said.
"But we thought we picked July 15?" I said.
"There are already 2 C-sections booked on July 15. I had to put you down for July 13 instead." The Nurse said.
"Gee, thanks for telling us!" I thought to myself.
Not only that, we picked Noon on July 15 because we have to be there 2 hours prior to the surgery. Now that the surgery is at 7am, it means that we have to be at the hospital by 5am!!
Other than this piece of shocking information, all other routine testing and checking went on as usual, and the results were fine as usual.
We are now only less than 2 weeks away, with the possibility of an 'early arrival!'

Is it possible to go to the hospital one day earlier before
13th, it will be easier for both of you. A bit worry about you guys wake up that early and drive to hospital in that early hours. It is pretty hard to wake addison up at that time of the night to take him with you too.Hope someone can help or have better arrangement.

Auntie May,
Addison will be staying home with someone, probably my Mom. Unfortunately, it is the hospital policy that all C-Sections are to be performed at either 7am or Noon. And 'early check-in' is not possible either. But if the Doctor's prediction is accurate, we don't have to worry about a 7am surgery anyway.
