Anxious Baby....
Well, it looks my little one is a little too eager to enter the world.
At my last weekly checkup, I learned this baby is trying to make his way out about one month too early.
And while I'm excited to see him, we all would rather wait -- and have him be full term and healthy. Basically the doctor told me if I were to have the baby now, chances are Todd and I would leave the hospital, but our baby would have to stay. His little lungs just aren't developed enough yet.
So now my work hours have been cut in half -- so I can go home, get off my feet and rest. It's going well so far. Todd takes care of dinner and the housework. While Tyler is really just glad to have me at home, even if I'm not up and about. And I must need the rest, because I can't believe how early I fall asleep. The half-day is only for about ten days - until I reach full term. Then I suspect he'll be on his way!
I guess now is the time to start getting a bag packed. (You would think I would have done that already). When I was went into labor with Tyler, I remember trying to pack in between contractions because I didn't have a bag prepared then either! (That wasn't fun by the way!)
We've already made our "baby plan" for Tyler and we're beginning to wash all the baby's clothes and bedding, etc. We probably should have done that about a month ago, too -- when I felt up to it.
We still don't have a name, but it's not because of a lack of trying to think of one. We just can't agree (again). I'll keep you posted.
If you've got any last minute words of wisdom - I'll take it..
