What are the Odds??
Hello All!
After much discussion, thought and prayer with each other and our doctor we have made the decision to have a c-section on Tanner's due date. The odds of a successful vaginal delivery are unfortunately not working in our favor. We had such a big decision to make that we decided to keep it quiet so that we could make the decision on our own without any outside influence. We needed to be sure that we were making the decision that was right for us, my body and baby Tanner. Plus, we wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible.
Anyway, we are very excited to know that he will be here on Tuesday! The last few days I have been trying to mentally prepare myself for having a c-section. I had 9 months to mentally prepare myself for pushing out a watermelon, so I am now taking a crash course in c-sections. Being awake while being cut wide open is tough to prepare yourself for. But, I know I will be okay and we will continue to remember that we are there to have our beautiful baby Tanner!
Did you know that only 4% of babies are born on their due date? Pretty cool that he will be one of them.
So, we will be at the hospital tomorrow morning through Friday morning. The surgery will not take place until around noon on Tuesday. I am told that I will more than likely not be in my postpartum room until mid afternoon. So, with undergoing major abdominal surgery, being bed ridden for 24 hours, not eating for almost 24 hours, letting all the drugs and anesthesia wear off, having a catheter and IV hooked to me, no shower, trying to learn to breastfeed, etc, etc ... Wednesday and Thursday would be much better days for visitors. Tuesday will be jam packed and probably one of the tougher days to get through. Plus this way it will make time for the new Grandparents and Uncles to meet their new little man. Thank you so much for respecting the crazy time that Tuesday will be.
Please keep us all in your thoughts and prayers and get ready to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tanner Michael Murphy!!

39 Weeks and 6 Days
A FEW THINGS WORTH MENTIONING:1) No one ever tells you just how difficult the last few weeks are.
2) Early labor signs mean absolutely nothing! NOTHING! I should have asked my doctor sooner.
3) My internal organs have no more room, really.
4) Tanner is now like a shark swimming in an aquarium. He still continues to kick and play in there and I tell him that if he wants to do that then he needs to come out and play with us, because it now hurts mommy.
5) Super Bowl Sunday is my Birthday. Happy 27 to me!
6) My first day of maternity leave was Friday. Mentally, I cannot work past my due date. Time to rest up for the big day!
7) We are delivering at WakeMed Cary.
8) This is the latest and last pic to be taken of me with a belly @ 39 weeks and 6 days.
