Oh when oh when will you make your debut??!!

Today has been busy!! Well, lets just say this week has been one hell of a week! I went to the dentist on Monday because my molar on my upper back had broken a piece off, and the remaining was poking me in the cheek. It was a sharp piece that was sticking out. Well, I had X-Rays done and it showed that the tooth was saveable, and I would need a root canal and a crown put on. All fine and dandy, but they couldn't do the work, until I wasn't pregnant any longer. I knew waiting atleast a month til I had the baby and was able to get in there was going to be difficult, but I really wanted to try. So, yesterday I ate, and another part of the tooth broke off. This time, I was in EXCRUCIATING pain! When the dentist looked, he told me the tooth was no longer saveable, and that the nerve was exposed. I would have no choice but to get it pulled. So, I saw the oral surgeon yesterday afternoon, and had like 5 shots in my mouth to get it numbed and they pulled it. An implant is the same cost for the most part as the crown and the root canal, it is just minus the pain right now. Focusing on healing from surgery would have posed as a bit of a challenge with my mouth killing me as well. So, thats what I have to look forward to after this baby is here.
So, on to Mr. Ethan.....
Today I had my 1st of my set of weekly appts. I had my group B strep test done. That was comfortable. HAHAHA... So, i will get those results in a week at my next appt. We had a chat about what has been happening, how I have been feeling, the fact I am having contractions pretty much daily now, and that I am suffering from back labor. Oh the JOYS of the end of the pregnancy. I am not dilated, and not effaced at all. Dr. L doesn't think that I am going to progress at all. He says that with me delivering Zach by C-Section most likely my body will not move. So, he says that I could have contractions pretty much on a regular basis now until the time when he is delivered in the O.R. The fact that there is back labor involved now, is concerning. He knows it is painful, and sometimes can not be relieved with a warm bath. So, he told me to drink as cold as a drink as I could, lay on my side, and not lift anything heavy to try to get them to stop, and the pain to stop.
He also said that on Sat. he was called and told them to stop the labor, because I was only 35 weeks and days. He didnt want him delivered before 36 weeks, if at all possible. He said that now if I was to start active contractions again that were timeable, he would make a decision at that time to take him or not. But, he said after 36 weeks, he might take him. So...... thats a big, who knows when this little boy is going to come!! I really need to buckle down and pack my darn bag. Why am I procrastinating so badly!?? I think I am having a hard time accepting the fact that this is going to be happening here VERY SOON!! I am just trying to get as much rest as possible, and take advantage of the final few days of being pregnant.
So, I wonder when this little guy is going to make his debut!?? Will it be BEFORE his scheduled C-Section date?? Or right on time!???
We shall see.....
