Seven Months

I'm seven months in... A few more to go and I'll be making my big entrance into the world. Since my big sister decided she wasn't ready to come into the world, she forced my mom to have a C-Section. The doctor group won't let my mom attempt a VBAC (vaginal birth after C-Section) so she has to have another one with me. They gave her four possible dates to choose from - July 23, 24, 29 or 31st. My parents talked it over and the 29th is the best day to give my dad the most days off work to spend with my mom, sister and of course ME! So they are going to try and get that all set up.

So it looks like I will be born on July 29th! (Unless I play the rebel role and decide to come earlier!)

I also decided to give my mom a break from all that throwing up. So I stopped pushing that button that says in big bold letters, "DO NOT PUSH." And she's not gotten sick in almost two weeks! She's much happier now. And even though I've got that big ol' placenta thing in front of me, I'm getting bigger now so she's finally starting to feel me. Dad hasn't been able to feel me yet, but the doctors said that's normal since that ugly placenta thing is in front.

  1. Hey big boy!

    The 29th sounds like a very good day to be born. You'd be sharing your birthday with a good friend of mine.
    And I really am glad that you're not annoying your mother as much. She needs her rest...

    Love from the wacky Dutch girl (the one who sent your sister a present - ask her)
