Time is slowly ticking by, and yet I can't believe that by the end of the week I'll be done with work and in the hospital to have our baby! I'm excited and probably completely unprepared for what is to come for recovery and beginning our lives as a family of four.
At the last ultrasound on Tuesday, they did measurements (which I wasn't expecting as they just check for movements and breathing and other fun things at most of them). The doctor requested it because based on the last measurements she was concerned about the potentially very large size. Well, not that it's tiny, but the estimate was 7 pounds 9 ounces. With over a week to go at that point she just said that she was gauranteeing over an 8 pounder, but based on what she saw from the previous measurements it was much better than the 10 pounder she would have estimated at that point. Cross your fingers for a healthy perfect size baby and for a speedy recovery for all of us!
Unless we are surprised, my last day of work will be on Thursday, my mom will come in that night to watch Chloe...and to the hospital we will go on Friday!! Rob and I finally were able to make it to the hospital tour this week so we know where we will be. I'm glad I wont have to go thru labor but those rooms are as awesome as they get. The Maple grove Hospital is very nice and very close so we are excited to deliver in the Emerald City.
