6 days and counting down..

Hello baby girl,

Today I got to see you via ultra sound and hear your precious heartbeat. I am at my 39 week check point with you and as the days go by I realize I am that much closer to meeting you face to face. As predicted, you were still "right side up" which means you will be delivered by c-section. Not my first choice, but today all my nerves were set at ease. I talked to my doctor about the procedure and had her describe what would happen from the moment I check in to the second I go to recovery. There is that slim chance that I could have you before our date on the 29th due to the fact that I am already 3 cm dilated! How did that happen? I must not notice the contractions or not pay that close of attention. Either way, because you are in a breech position, I have to go to the hospital once my contractions get as close as 10 minutes. (Not your average in between time but my doctor doesn't want me to have any stressed situations that could possibly compromise your health. I totally agree.) When I told your daddy what the doctor said, he sternly told me that I need to rest more and not be such a control freak at home. Not to over exert myself with cleaning and doing other household activities. He also said I shouldn't take you and your brother on walks until after you're born. (What he doesn't realize is I am not one to just sit on my butt, ecspecially since your brother is such a rambunctious little bugger) But now that I know how important it is for me to take it easy I will try to do so. I'm glad that over the weekend I was able to get everything in order for you. (blog post to come) The only thing left for us to do is get your crib set up in your (and your brother's) room. There are some things that I still need to get for you that aren't super important but things that are a must have for me.
1. memory book
2. swaddle blanket(s)
3. crib mattress (this is a must obviously but you'll be sleeping in your bassinet for a while)
4. car seat cover (again, not super important but I want to make it girly)

I believe that is all for now precious one. Well now that this day is almost done so 5 days...


p.s. We are so excited that your Uncle Mark is in town from Hawaii for your birth. He can't wait to meet you. I just wish your Auntie Devan, Uncle Chuck and cousin's were here also. Then all our family would be here and everything would be completely perfect!
