Six days baby Mayhew, six days and you're going to have to join the "real" world!!!! And guess what, we're MORE than excited for you to get here :)
We had an ultrasound today and you're still measuring a little bigger than expected and after a VERY long conversation with Dr. Kutsche, we've decided to go the C-section route. After weighing the pros and cons, this is our best option for both your safety and mine.
It was a little overwhelming at first, but I think the more and more we talk about it, the more it sinks in. We can not wait for you to be here and feel very confident in the plan we've made and very confident in the doctor, hospital and the care we've been and will continue to receive.
We have a few finishing touches to put on things around here to make sure we're ready for your homecoming, but everything you need to come home is in place. The fire chief said your seat in installed in the car nice and snug and not going anywhere, and your bed is ready, and I've packed you a few outfits for your homecoming, depending on your true size. We'll post pictures of your pretty face as soon as we can. (Daddy is going to find the software disk for the cell phones so we can upload those photos too).
I was going to post pictures from your ultrasound today since we saw a few good face shots, but when we looked at the pictures we realized the tech gave us 3 pictures of your "boy" parts!!!! No face pictures. She got confused when trying to find the print button and must have printed the same one 3 times. I'll try not to embarrass you before you have a chance to show everyone your pretty face ;-) But I will be saving it for your graduation board.
I'm glad you're doing well and still moving a lot (even when the fetal monitor is on and you're punching it!!!). And we know you'll love everything you have here and all of the people that you'll meet who will shower you with more love than you know. And promise me you'll take it easy on your dad for a while...he's a little nervous you won't like him ;-)
We love you baby...see you SOON!!!!

Dear Peanut, I was not surprised when I heard the good news yesterday, relieved just a little but was hoping that you would be able to wait longer. But with mommy's blood pressure being what it is (she takes after your grampy you know and Aunt Caitlin)this is the realistic approach for both your safety.
ReplyDeleteNow I just have to get better so I can be there. It was totally devastate me if I was still sick and not able to be around when you arrived. So I am taking extra care of myself to make sure that doesn't happen. I haven't seen your mommy and daddy in 13 days, I can't imagine how much more she has grown with you!
Take it easy on her blood pressure, no surprises before next week!
Hugs,kisses,skwishes,
(I get to do this a lot next week!!)
