Our son will be here no later then December the 8th!!! Our C-Section is scheduled for that day and we will be going in early in the morning. Unless I go into labor early he will be born the day after our 2nd Wedding anniversary!!

I went to the doctor today and not really progressing yet, although I certainly feel like it with all the cramping and aches that SUDDENLY started in the last two weeks…..
I am, however, a fingertip dialated….progess is progress right?

From a friend:

Hi everyone…
Priscilla just called me and wanted me to tell you all the great news

her and charlie went to another U/S today and guess what??????

It’s a William, not a Chloe

And my post:

Yes! I have a little PRINCE!!!! I was soooo surprised and just as happy of course

I only made it to Beal’s and Target (I couldnt find one of my MALL receipts so I put the mall of until tomorrow — I DID FIND THE RECEIPT )

Prince William was TOTALLY showing his stuff. . .

The doc was measuring and looking around and asked if we wanted to look between the legs . .. well, DUH, we want to confirm the gender. . .

So of course we told him YES!!

Well he said, it’s a good thing we are looking again because thats not a girl!! DH even spotted it and he’s rarely seen U/S pics

my little man isnt shy. Yes we were very surprised!! MY eyebrows were definitly raised and we were both smiling (happy either way of course) and shocked BEYOND all belief!!

It will be funny to tell him that mommy, Daddy and all mommy’s online friends called him Chloe for 8 weeks.

As for his name:

Arthur is DH middle name and William is KINDA sorta my dad’s name. . . Well Billy is but baby will Be Will or William NOT willy or Bill or Billy (I have a brother and an Uncle named Billy)

Anyways my dad’s name is realy Benjamin, but for some reason his nieces and nephews ALWAYS called him Uncle Billy . . . I’m not a HUGE fan of Benjamin “ben” (sounds a bit old manish and besides I have a half brother named Benny  ) so I decided to go with my dad’s “other” name

I ordered my bassinet and a boppy cover that Target never seems to have in the store with the gift card!! If my target carried that stuff I would have had some $$ left over but shipping ate the rest.

I will probably go pick up my pack n play soon as well. . . I have $55 on another card (should be $60 but the person either only put 15 on the card or Target screwed them out of $5  )

  Saturday we made it to Dallas and just hung out, shortly after dinner we got ready for a play. .. that was AWESOME!! It was called “THE ALLERGIST WIFE”. It was sooo funny

Okay I talked to the anesthesialogist and he said that he has dealt with cases like mine before hates to use general

I am going to try and get old X-rays for him because he said it would make things easier.
I just need to keep in mind that I need to prepare for general if he cant get things to do what he needs them too

Only a few weeks left in my 2nd Tri!!

ooh I almost forgot!! I read that DH can sometimes her the HB by putting his ear to the belly by the 23rd week.. . so last night DH had his ear on my belly and I told him it would be funny if she kicked his ear. . .and guess what?? SHE DID!!!!!

OKAY!! I have got to stop going through the Wendy’s Drive Thru. . . NO MORE FROSTYS for me

My mom doesnt think that is bad for 24 weeks but MY GOD seeing 128lbs was scary

this child must be in a position that not only results in me NOT showing but also cuts my stomach volume in half or something. . .

I cant eat!!!!!! (well I can but I get full fast and stay full )

We had our BIG U/S today and we are 75% sure it’s a GIRL!!

The coffee didnt really work – - and the doctor saw 2 lines that he is ALMOST positive are the labia!! There was definitly NOT a penis or scrotum. anywhere in sight . . And he said we are going to say girl, he wrote down that I am having a girl and he is now going call baby her/she and do another U/S in 8 weeks to be certain . . . and reassure CHarlie before he spends hours painting pink stripes .

In case anyone is curious, she’s lying completly across me . .. head somewhere under left boob, butt under right boob and feet between my ribs ; thank god i havent felt it!! (obviously not as high as my boob just where in my belly she is in relation)

Anyways as far as clothes, I was good today and only bought one little OshKosh outfit for spring.

I am having a C-section and cant have an epidural and dont want general anaesthesia

I have been under general several times and come out quicky but I dont want to wait at all!!!!!!!

Girls night IN was fun — someone told me I was HUGE  — I kinda flipped and said “WHERE?? MY belly is virtually still flat!!!!!!!”

She got a little red and said ” NO I mean your boobs”

My wheelchair cushion got a huge hole in it so DH has now tried a second thing to fix it – - – I need to order a new one but they are $350 but I have to have it because I can’t be on my chair without it. Well Anyways he used an old pool float, crazy glue and goop – - its covered anyways so you can’t see the ugly stuff.

July 27 is my BIG day!!
