LMAO -- Go Figure!!
So, yesterday a posted a vent post about how DONE I am being pregnant. Which is true -- I feel like crap and am ready for this to be OVER!! But my c-section is scheduled for December 15th and in the grand scheme of things that is not that far away.
Well, I had my last check-up today and my doctor said that I'm starting to measure small which is not unusual. I was measuring small in the beginning of this pregnancy and had to do 3 different growth ultrasounds. I eventually started measuring right on track but I guess today I measured small again. Well, doc says I may be measuring small because of low fluid levels and wants me to go in tomorrow for an ultrasound to double check the baby's growth and fluid levels. I had low fluid levels with my 1st which led to me being induced 2 days before my due date.
So, I asked him what they would do if my fluid levels were low. His response -- we'd move up your c-section to this week. 
I'm freaking out a little bit. Last night it seemed like it would be FOREVER before next Tuesday but now with the threat of an earlier delivery, I'm realizing that I can wait!! We had plans to spend this weekend with DD -- our last weekend with just DD -- doing fun things like bowling, making sugar cookies, etc. Plus, I scheduled my c-section with MY doctor -- the one who did my 1st c-section. I'm apprehensive about having another doctor do the surgery (though I really do like all the doctors in my practice).
Must.calm.down. DEEP BREATHS!!!!
I was the BEST mom....until I became a mother.

Yikes. Be careful what you wish for, right?
(((hugs))) It will be good either way. If it is this week, you may just have to cram some last-minute activities in in the next couple of days!

This! Good luck!
Yeah, it's a little freaky when they move up your date. I was the same as you and measured small. I went it at my 39 week appt and they said, uh, your baby needs to come out tomorrow so come back to the hospital tonight to be induced. WHAT?!?!? lol.
Best of luck! And I guess do be careful of what you wish for
