Countdown

Well folks, I have 10 days to go until Baby Boy Leonard is here. Next Friday is supposed to be the date.....as long as I can make it that long. The C-section is set for 5 days before my due date, Av was 9 days early, so I am slightly nervous. I'm probably also nervous b/c I still have quite a few things to do in these last 10 days. Right now my list is topped with coming up with a name for our son and finishing organizing the nursery.

As to my last post, I did pass boards!!!! Thank you for any prayers-I can now continue practicing medicine :). I did put quite a bit of studying into it--hence the lack of blogging and I went to a review course in Dallas. I guess it all paid off in the end. The review course was quite torturous-sitting in a hotel conference room from 7 am to at least 5 pm daily and then taking a 2 hour practice test every night. I know you're jealous.

Actually here's the part you might be jealous about. So I love Fleetwood Mac, found out they're on tour, and was determined to see them in concert before they "retire." Possibility 1-they were in Atlanta...the night that my flight was booked to fly to Dallas, so that was out. Possibility 2-they were in Dallas while I was there for the conference, but a that wasn't quite feasible with the all day class and nightly test. Any other city they were in would have been an additional plane flight and hotel stay somewhere...while in my 3rd trimester, also out of the picture. I gave up, decided it was more important that I pass boards, and just decided to hope that they would tour again one day...sigh.

One day at lunch while at the conference hubby called to check in and let me know he had quite a dilemma.....2 14th row, center stage, on the floor tickets to the concert that night in Dallas. I was supposed to go out to dinner with Becky that night and thought J had sneakily arranged for the 2 of us to the concert. Turns out he had gotten the grandparents to watch the kiddo, flown to Dallas that morning, and was in the hotel lobby when he called me!! I was completely shocked! I did have to call Becky and let her know that I would be ditching her that night-sorry Beck, but thanks for being so understanding. I skipped my last lecture (so unlike the nerd that I am), got dolled up, headed to Capital Grille where J had made reservations, and then onto the concert--that was fantastic!!!! He's so thoughtful and creative. I still can't believe that he pulled it off, our entire family was in on it.

I have an OB appointment in the AM and will let you know of any news tomorrow. If you think of any great boy names, let me know!
