We are in the single digits now folks! only 9 weeks and 5 days until little Miss gets here! Well, I don’t know for sure how many days, but since it will be a scheduled C-Section (unless she decides to come earlier than expected) we can guess it will be 9 weeks or so. I am so ready to be done with this pregnancy and hold her! She is an active little girl and flips all around just like her brother Ian did. She can’t decide if she wants to be head up or head down, each sonogram she’s different. At the last appointment she had her head and feet up by my ribs and her butt down, crazy girl!
We have painted the room, put the rib and dresser together, so her room is coming together slowly. This weekend I’m hoping to talk the hubs into anchoring the dresser to the wall and hanging the shelves so I can start to put stuff on the walls and make it feel like an actual nursery….I’ll post pictures when I get it all done.
The boys are still too young to really grasp what’s going on and what’s about to happen. They know what a baby is and they hear us talking about this baby that is coming, they know the crib is for the “baby” and when we ask where the “baby” is, they point to my stomach. Do they realize that there is an actual baby in my stomach and this baby is coming to live with us, I doubt it. They’ll get the idea when this baby comes home and doesn’t leave!
