Oh mini...you breech little thing you...Stephen and I went to the Dr again yesterday, and talked more about the surgery and date and time, all that great stuff. I cannot believe that she will be here in about 14 days...that is so crazy to me. With Kaylyn and William there was no sneaking up on us, we were so worried and focused on the due date that preparing was all we did...but with mini I feel like we were preparing, but when we felt like it, not a constant state of preparation like with the other 2...
Yesterday Stephen did set up Kaylyn's room in his "study" so he is officially without office, good thing his newly vamped desk is on wheels...good thing...
Stephen is going to set up the crib today to make sure we have all the parts etc. This is the same chewed up crib that Kaylyn and William used, this is definitely the cribs last hoorah...
PS I think the name will probably change, most likely mini will be without a name for at least a day or so after she comes out...we are having a heck of a time making a decision...Brynn has dropped down to probably 45% likely hood...other names now in the running are Julie and Natalie...who knows...

Sad news, my grandma passed away on Monday morning...she had been in the hospital for almost 2 months, and I think she was pretty miserable, and confused. So Stephen, me and Jeff are heading to the funeral, even though I am exploding pregnant, and I dont want to go anywhere for anything. You should see my outfit now, it is awesome...boxers that are way to small, and a tank top that is equally as small, my belly hanging out and running shoes on b/c my feet hurt so bad...I am awesome!

My next dr appt is this coming saturday...mini is still breech, I can tell...so the c-section is looking more and more likely...I can totally tell how big her head is...she is straight sitting up in the utero...little nugget...

By the way, pretty sure her name will be Bryn or Brynn Christine...about 95% sure...I know some people in my family arent crazy about the name, but Stephen and I (and Kaylyn) like it, so there...

Name update:

Some names have been removed by Stephen Fancy Pants, so now we are basically down to Bryn or Lauren...Possible middle name combos are:

-Bryn Christine (My Great Grandma's name was Christine and that is my confirmation name)
-Lauren Margaret (Margaret is mini's Grandma's name)

Today William got a spiderman bike and helmet, he has been peeing and pooping on the potty so this is his reward, hopefully Stephen can get some good photos tonight of him on his bike and I can post on here...William is pretty lazy though, so not sure he will put much effort into learning how to pedal...

Bad news, mini is still breech and time is flying by. Today at the Dr. we talked some more about turning her, and basically it doesn't sound like the best idea. There are risks to mini if I were to try and have her turned, and the Dr said that if she were to turn her she would induce that same day b/c she would be afraid that she hurt mini during the turning process. So I am trying desperately to come to terms with a c-section. So frustrating, but I guess it is what I have to do. So the date is going to be June 16, mini's b-day, unless by some act of God this big head turns the correct way. Several people have told me great stories about how their babies were breech, and then 2 days, or 2 hours, whatever before their c-section the baby just turned...oh how I hope that will be my story.
On a more positive note, everything else with me/mini is good, besides the fact that I am a whale and weigh more than I have ever weighed in my whole life (including my 2 other pregnancies). I stop taking my asprin today, so hopefully that doesn't cause any differences in how this pregnancy is going (I am pretty sure asprin cured me from my pre-term labor issues)...My next appt is on Saturday (weird I know) May 30th we will see what is going on then...Mini is going to be here sooooo soon!!

Ok, so here are my top runners for names, in alphabetical order:

-Bryn
-Charlotte
-Emma
-Lauren
-Sophia/Sophie

I can't decide...but maybe when she is born it will just come to me??

Sorry it has been so long since I updated...I went to the Dr. last Friday and little mini is 47% for size and weighs about 4 pounds...and IS STILL BREECH! The main discussion at the doctor was would she be willing to flip mini if she is still breech in a few weeks. The doctor said that should would try flipping her around 36 or 37 weeks, if my fluid levels were ok and if mini wasn't laying in a precarious position. So I am still praying daily that she flips on her own, she just seems too big to flip at this point, but supposedly mini has a 50/50 shot of flipping on her own...so it is just a waiting game at this point.

Sooo if she doesn't flip, or the dr cant flip her, then we are looking at a c-section, which is really really not cool...but what can I do? She has to come out...

On another note, I am freaked out about the stupid pig flu...I am not a very rational woman normally, throw in pregnancy and I get boarder line insane..I just can't deal with pig flu right now...so I am purelling the donkey out of my hands and the kids hands...Stephen went on a business trip this week and I begged him to wear a mask, but he wasn't having it, but I did get him to take a purell bottle that has a little hook on it so he could hook it on his belt loop...victory!!
