ok, so first off, i'm going into the hospital on the 1st for a tubal. yes, everyone agreed we're not comfortable with a partial lol. it'll be a laproscoptic (sp?) tubal, and i'll be in about 8am and home by lunch the same day. wild, huh? i'm nervous, the doctor went into TOO much detail on what they do during the procedure. did you know they go in through your belly button and pump your tummy up with carbon dioxide (isn't that the right gas?) to get everything out of the way?? he said after that they'll put a band on my tubes and drain as much gas out as they can. he said they won't get it all out, they never can, and it'll hurt my right shoulder b/c of a nerve that goes towards my tummy from the shoulder. apparently, as soon as i wake up and can stand and walk a bit i can go home, and it should only take about 30 minutes for him to be done, and 1 1/2 hours total including knocking me out and bringing me back. i wonder how certain the bands are??
on another note, maya is doing great! she's 5 weeks old as of yesterday. we went in for a dr's appt today, and it was perfect. remember, when she was born, she weighed 6lbs 3oz? and was 19inches long? well, today she was just shy of 13lbs!! and catch this, was 22inches long (tall)!!! for weight she is at 50% on the chart (meaning she's heavier than 50% of kids her age) and for height she was at the 95/95% (taller than 95/97% of kids her age). she's gotten SO big! i knew i wasn't exaggerating like hubby thought! she's gone from preemie clothes all the way up to 0-3 month clothes, which are a tad tight as far as length goes. my little monster!
