Day 249 - Finally!

Clint came home early from work yesterday because we had our last ultrasound, and then I had a dr. appt. right after that. Well, when he got home he said that it hit him that we were going to have a baby soon. I could have the baby any time (I'm pretty sure I won't until my scheduled date), but still. I think it's so funny that it took him until 36 weeks to come to realize that she will be here real soon. Ha ha! Then I told him that's why I wanted to set up the crib!

So last night, I finally got him to set up the crib. What did I say, about 2 weeks for him to get it set up? I'm chuckling to myself as I write that. So this morning, Jonas felt the need to sit in the crib. He thought it was pretty fun. Although he would shake and wiggle and I thought to myself that he probably shouldn't do that since the crib was at it's highest point. I don't know, could he break it since it is risen up? So I took a few pics, and then told him it was time to get out. He didn't want to, but he eventually did.

In case you're wondering, he is shooting webs at me. :)

I think he's starting to realize that something is up. He knows there is a baby inside of me, that her name is Alexis, but now that her bed is up, and her clothes are hanging in the closet and the baby bath is out, and he came with us to the ultrasound to see her, he's been talking about her more. Saying that he wants to hold her, and swing her in our swing, and see her. Isn't that cute? I think he'll be a sweet brother - and very helpful.

So baby update real quick - this little girl is breech. Isn't that crazy that I will have two in a row that have been breech? That just confirms my decision to have another c-section. It would have happened no matter what. It's weird though, a lot of people, when they hear "breech", think it's awful and send their condolences to me type of thing. It's not bad. Breech is just fine if you have a c-section. It's not anymore painful or uncomfortable than a head down baby (I would imagine). I just put it up on facebook and everyone was making comments like it was awful and I was so bummed about it. But I'm not. I don't care. I'm still having a c-section. It is schedule for December 13. That will be Friday the 13th. Awesome, right? Good thing I'm not superstitious.

Another thing - she is measuring two weeks ahead. They guessed she already weighs around 7 lbs. When I heard that I wanted to cry inside. I don't want a big baby. I don't know why it's bothering me so much, but it is. And I don't have gestational diabetes. There's just a ton of room in my uterus, I guess. There is still a lot of fluid around the baby for her to grow. I just can't believe that she's already bigger than Jonas when he was born (6 lbs. 14 oz). Oh well. She's going to be beautiful even if she is a 9 lb baby. There's not much I can do about it now. But she does have lots of hair, the ultrasound tech lady said. I hope it's the same reddish color as Jonas's. And she also said she has chubby cheeks. In a cute way, I'm sure. So there you go. I'm expecting a big breech baby girl. Now just to make it 3 more weeks. Wish me luck, because I'm feeling like I'm carrying a big baby. But the thing is, I've only gained 20 lbs. Whatever, I working on not letting it bother me. Atleast the room is mostly set up - we just need to move the piano out.
