Having lots of BH & twinges. Starting to get restless. I think i need to start packing & stuff soon.

Lost soooo much sleep last night. I am having LOTS of movement & for some reason I don't think the babe slept yesterday or last night.

I had a Dr.s appt. yesterday & we are all in agreement...I will be sectioned. After my last & with this babe already bigger than my last, I think it is my best option. I took my DD & my Mom with me yesterday to hear the heart beat. My mom was thrilled & my DD was nervous at 1st (she's only 3) but she came around & tells me it made her day. As a matter of fact, she was still talking about it this morning before she went to daycare. DH & I are really trying to keep DD involved as much as possible.

Last night DH & I started the process of selecting names...we had a system the first time & we are re-using that system this time. It will take a while, but in the end, it is worth it.

Last night I got a scare...the doc called to tell me that my latest u/s showed the baby as breech. I know already that I am a c-section, but I couldn't help feel the panic rise within me. Funny in a wierd way. I went to the prenatal session my local Public Health held...felt better after that. In general I feel better today with the news...I guess it just goes to show that this child WANTS to be a c-section babe! lol.

Every little thing puts me on edge lately. Stupid drivers, stupid questions (i.e. Do you want a boy or a girl? Did you gain weight? Do you have roids? WTF) anyway, on the weekend we were at the IL's & that put me right over the edge with their lack of respect for my DH & DD. They seem to think that it is ok for a sick child to come in contact with my family even though I am prego & my DH & DD both have asthma! I got a call yesterday that I had to go to daycare to pick up my DD because she was running a fever. Man was I upset. Anyway, just needing to vent.

Went to see the Doc today...everything looks good. I am still breech, but, seeing as I am scheduled for the c/s, I have nothing to worry about. Although, the Doc did say if I think I am in labour to get my butt to the hospital ASAP, just in case.

Also, this baby, like my first, Sasha, will have the dis-located hip thing. Well, I figured that because I had it, Sasha had it & I suspected any future children would have it too seeing as it runs in my family line, but now with the breech, it is almost 100% that the hips will need to be fixed because of the way the baby sits in the womb. At least this time my hubby will be a little more prepared for it. Last time it hit him really hard. My Doc made the comment today that it could have been sooooo much worse (ie: a heart condition), but when she told him he just feel to pieces (and she felt really bad). Oh well, just the IL's to tell now. When I told them last month that I suspected it would happen again, they acted as if I do it on purpose during my pregnancies or something! Yeah, like if I shake their family tree, stuff won't start falling out...OK!

Anyway, I'm in good spirits, I just find myself slowing down.

Saw my Doc yesterday. All is well & I will see her in surgery next Thursday...1 week away! I'm getting anxious, you know excited & scared at the same time.

Trying to lay all the last minute plans down like where Sasha will be, my MIL's B-Day gift (her B-Day is the same as my baby's), you know, that stuff.

My husband is being so good to me, not that he normally isn't, he is just really sweet & since I am a little extra sensitive, I just need to mention it.

Anyway, if I don't update til the birth, forgive me. Best luck to you all for 10 minute labours with perfectly happy babes! ;)

I am being c-sectioned tomorrow morning at 8:45 am. I am really nervous now, but I know we are in good hands...my Docs are awesome. I'm sad because they have closed the Mother/Baby unit to visitors except Dad & Grandparents due to the RSV virus. My daughter cannot come visit us & it is breaking my heart. We will find a way to make this work, but OMG it is hard.

Anyway, this will obviously be my last entry, but when I am released, I will be posting. Best of luck to you all and remember a few estential things...1. you can only make decisions in labour based on the info you have at the time...in other words, if things change, don't beat yourself up. 2. Sometimes it takes more time to fall in love with your baby, that's ok. 3. Sleep when the babe sleeps...if you listen to nothing else, at least do this, trust me, it helps. 4. It goes fast. Even when he/she is wailing or pooping or whatever, try to remember it.

Bye for now ladies.
