At my last Dr.'s appointment on Tuesday, the Dr. told me that this baby is getting pretty big and he/she especially has a big head (not information any pregnant woman wants to hear). I love the big babies--as many of you know mine tend to get chubby pretty quick and I don't think either of them have ever registered on a growth chart (especially in height). However, neither of them started out very large--Ray was almost 8lbs and Jackson 8 and 1/2--and I never had a Dr. tell me that either of them were getting big while pregnant with them (although everyone comments on their size these days).
So, mostly because I live farther away from the hospital, but also because this baby is a little on the large size (Matt and I will both laugh when he/she ends up being only 6lbs), my very wonderful doctor is going to induce me anywhere from 10 days to a week early, so hopefully by early March we will have a baby!
One other thing, I am so excited to be surprised on the sex of this baby, but, I didn't think about how much more work it would be (not that I mind too much). I have to wash all of Jackson's baby clothes, burp rags, blankets, etc...as well as wash all of Reagan's stuff, too. Also, I have to try to make everything that I buy neutral--I didn't think it would be an issue finding yellow or green pacifiers, but, Babies R Us only seemed to have pink, blue, or purple--I'll have to try another place...Just a small price to pay for a truly genuine surprise.
We will keep everyone updated on baby #3. We can't wait to welcome him/her into the world (see, even writing sentences takes longer when you don't know the baby's sex)...

Music to a mom's ears! You're getting so close. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful doc you have! Best wishes with everything, I'll be thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it is that soon! We are so excited for you! We were hoping we could come down...maybe we can come for the blessing!
ReplyDeleteEarly = awesome! We can't wait...let us know what we can do to help! I'd love to come over and do laundry for you - it would be a treat not to have to drag it across an apartment complex first :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I even knew you were expecting! How exciting! How fun to be surprised :) Congrats! Can't wait to meet her/him.
