Tomorrow is the BIG DAY.
Unless Trouble decides to make his grand appearance between now and 7am tomorrow morning, we'll be calling Kaiser to find out what time we start inducing.
I have mixed feelings about this induction.
I wish he had just come on his own terms and I suppose I could choose to let him go a little longer just to see. But there are reasons why we've chosen to induce tomorrow and without going into all the details, I'll just say I'm happy with our decision. I won't say that I'm really ready for it though. Still nervous.
Plus, it seems kind of weird to me to have our baby's birthday predetermined, although, I guess that's how scheduled c-sections are.
When I told my doctor that Sunday was a good day, it had totally slipped my mind that this particular Sunday is Easter Sunday {there's a lot of things that slip my mind lately, including the horse's vet clinic today, which really sucks that we missed :(} So it looks like we'll have an Easter baby!
And since I'll {hopefully} be in the hospital tomorrow morning meeting our new little man, we celebrated Easter with Rowan today by sending him on an Easter egg hunt!
So much fun!!
We gave him his little basket and a Peeps chick to chew on, {he only took a couple bites of the Peeps and then got upset cuz it was sticking to his hand. Then we sent him out the door in search of colorful eggs, hidden in pretty plain sight, all over the back yard.
Even as obvious as the eggs were, it took a little pointing in the right direction to keep Cubbie on track. But he was excited with each one he found and carefully placed them in his basket one by one. He's so organized!
At the end of the hunt, we gave Rowan his grand prize, an orange soccer ball, which we've been dying to give him ever since I picked it up from Target a week ago, but managed to keep out of his grubby little hands until today. OMG! He LOVES that ball!
Happy {early}Easter, Rowan!
Did I mention that Grandma is here too? My mom came down at the beginning of this week {we were hoping the new baby would be on time}, and Rowan's been having a blast with her as well as enjoying her cooking ;)
With three pairs of hands and no baby yet, we have been able to accomplish some much needed work on the house, so stay tuned for some updates there.
Thanks for helping us out Grandma!

Our due date is almost here!
and I'm freaking out!
No, I'm not comforted by the fact that this is my second time around. In fact, that might make it worse in some ways because I have some preconceived notions. Last time I was pretty chillaxed since I had NO IDEA what I was getting into. Now, I'm like...uh...crap....here I go again.
Plus, I've been totally lazy about getting ready. Birth bag? What? Although I did make sure I have a few necessities easily accessible, ...in our house, not neatly tucked in a bag ready to go. And here's what they are:
As the date approaches, I'm finding myself extremely torn between wanting this little guy out of my belly and wanting to get some things done first!
For instance, I want to see The Hunger Games on Saturday. Please, please don't come before Saturday! {or on Saturday for that matter. Especially not during the movie...please}. Otherwise, I'll end up having to watch it on Netflix.
But I also HATE being late. If my mom is only coming for two weeks, I want to make the most of her time. We can't be dilly dallying waiting for Trouble to make his grand entrance.
If Trouble knows what's best for him, he'll come right on schedule, just like our little Ro Bear did!
Something tells me that's not very likely....

- My awesome slippers! {those were the flippin' bomb!}
- Pads & adult diapers. Yes, I sprung for the adult diapers this time. {TMI??}
- and Gatorade and Snickers...oh wait, I don't have those yet, shit.
