I just got home from my very last doctor appointment before we have the baby! Adam is FINALLY head down (not that it matters, since we're having a C-Section). The doctor estimates that he is about 7.5 pounds, and by this time next week, Brian, Adam and I will all be recovering from the surgery, and resting up for a few months of late-night feedings! We're all very excited.
I've tried explaining all of the upcoming events to Elizabeth. She stares at me blankly until I mention "Aunt Shanny" and then her eyes light up and she asks, "Go see Itchy? Go see Icky? Go see Gimpa? Do painting?
I nod and tell her, yes, she gets to go hang out with ALL of those fun people and paint for 4-5 days while Mommy and Daddy get ready to bring Adam ("Ahhh-mee") home.
We're ready. We're SO ready. Last night we boiled nipples (not mine. The rubber kind) and made a list of last-minute items we need for Adam's homecoming. Brian picked up the last few items this afternoon, so we're good to go. The bedside sleeper arrived today. Blankets, clothes and burp cloths are all washed and ready. All we need is a baby.
Seven days. Seven days. Seven days. . . . .
