Today we had a pretty big day. This morning had to go in for one last ultrasound at the specialist to make sure the baby is still measuring big. Which he is, of course. He is about 8 pounds 9 ounces! At first we were laughing but then this weird guilt hit me. Had I eaten so poorly throughout the pregnancy that his weight was out of control? Should I have exercised more? Were my dates off? I asked the doctor if his size could be an indication of some underlying condition and he answered with a laugh "He is completely healthy, you're just giving birth to a toddler!". That definitely made me feel better. I hadn't done anything wrong, we just have an adorably chubby bun in the oven! Anyway, he went on to explain that if I was one of those moms who insisted on attempting a traditional delivery (which I'm not), he would strongly discourage it. But again, if I insisted, he wouldnt want me to go any later than Friday. Instead, he suggested we have a csection to avoid any possible complications, and to have it done early next week!
So we finished there, and headed to our regular weekly OBGYN appointment. There she pretty much echoed everything the specialist said and the date was set...
Drumroll please....
Our little boy will be born this Tuesday, September 4 at 11:30!!
Oh my goodness!! We are SO excited! Having an actual day makes it so much more real! I can't wait to snuggle him and see Riley hold his little boy. It's going to be a great day.
Anyway, after the appointment I was lucky enough to have my Young Women throw me a surprise nautical themed shower! It was the cutest thing! I am truly amazed at the incredible women that surround me. Our ward is made up of some of the most generous and giving people I have ever met and the girls did such a great job planning. The food was divine, and games were so fun, and it was great to sit and chat with the girls and the sisters from Relief Society. We got the exact last minute things we needed, plus some SUPER cute outfits for little man.
Here are a few photos from the shower. Thank you again ladies!
Xoxo
