Here comes our baby!

Getting ready to leave our home...  Oh little baby you are giving us a run for our money at the moment... the doctors don't think you have grown enough, they are estimating you are only around 5 pounds and I am 39 weeks.  They are a little bit worried that my body is not giving you enough nutrients... This is the night we were about to leave for the hospital. 

Last week they thought my amniotic fluid was low so they sent me for an ultrasound... I was in a panic and of course your Daddy wasn't available since he was working... thank goodness the ultrasound said everything looked fine and I had plenty of fluid in there for you to swim around in.  Whew!

I was really hoping for a natural labor with you, no meds, just you and me... but I hear induction is kind-of rough so we will see how it goes!!  I packed up some Christmas music and some Disney movies, a bag or random stuff and one boy outfit and one girl outfit!  We are so excited to meet you, we just wish it was on your time, BUT the most important thing is that you are born safe, healthy, and crying... that way we know you have a good set of lungs!! 

Tonight has been hard... the doctors said to call for a bed but when we called they said they didn't have a bed.  The hospital staff had to call our doctor and they told us to come in immediately.  Well... Daddy and I decided to go and get supper before heading to the hospital.  I wanted one last supper before going into labor.  We can't wait to meet you little one!  We love you to pieces already!!!




I am all settled into bed... now the wait begins!
