Welp -

[DZoolander]

Got a date today.

At the very latest, it'll be 15 days until the new one is here.

 

[Odetta]

How exciting!

 

[DZoolander]

Yep!

Not looking forward to the 2-3 months of taking shifts with my wife of who gets to sleep that night...but...lol

Good times though!

Awww

 

[Inkachu]

You just got a date? Like, they didn't know before? Or am I missing something?

Congrats anyway!

Inka.....I'm thinking maybe a scheduled c-section is what the date is set for.

Let the countdown begin! How exciting!!

 

[Hetta]

So excited for you to meet your new baby, Ezoo.

 

[Inkachu]

Man, I see babies every day here at work, and I saw the cutest little toddler in the waiting room at the lab earlier where I went for my drug screening...

...I think I'm getting to that point where I need a kitten or puppy or something, cause I want a baby and can't have one lol.

Ah babies. I am looking forward to grandbabies in a few years.

 

[Inkachu]

I want grandbabies too, but it's way too early!! How am I going to survive the next 10 or 20 years? Maybe I'll become a pediatric nurse *pictures herself sneaking into kids' hospital rooms while cackling softly and whispering "Ohhh yes, I'll get my baby fix today, yes I will!"*

 

[DZoolander]

lol yep - we've got a c-section scheduled. 9am, on the 1st. Soooo - unless he comes earlier - that's gonna be his grand entrance!

 

[puregrl]

oh yay. Congrats!

How'd they get a video of my wife's belly?

 

[DZoolander]

My wife is totally miserable right now, though, and can often be found wandering the house muttering "this kid's gotta get out of here."

I guess the baby has dropped/moved into position - and she's getting sharp pains down around the pelvic region that can nearly knock her down if the kid moves certain ways.

Poor thing.

Stand in speechless awe of the majesty and miracle that is WOMAN.

Then rub her feet and her back and make her favorite meal

Seriously though, whenever I just stop and ponder how God creates a new life within a woman's body... it's mind-numbingly amazing...

 

[DZoolander]

I agree - it's hard to believe that 8ish months ago it was just this little thing barely the size of a pea - but now it's (truly) a kicking, swimming around, etc...little baby boy.

I mean - for all intents and purposes - he's done...lol He could come out today and all would be cool.

I'm actually kinda hoping that she goes into labor naturally before the scheduled c-section date. Our daughter had all sorts of gastro-issues when she was an infant and never took to breast feeding. I lay that 100% on the chain of events that happened right after she was born via c-section (they wanted to do a glucose test right away - which meant she needed to eat right away - but she couldn't breastfeed due to the medications involved in the c-section), etc etc. As a result - her initial feedings were off a bottle - and she never took to the breast.

I can totally see that happening this time again if the c-section happens.

 

[Inkachu]

Natural birth is always best if it can be managed, I agree. I pray that happens for her! Encourage her to be up and moving around and active as much as she can manage, to help encourage things along Or as I sometimes say to heavily pregnant woman "just squat and push!"

 

[DZoolander]

We've got annual passes to Disney - so I've been trying to prompt her to come and just walk around the park. lol Give our daughter something to do - plus keep my wife walking around.

She's not been all too excited about that idea, though.
