That is the official birthday of our 3rd child. I will have a c-section at 11:30 and shortly after, we will have our new daughter. It is a Tuesday. That is in 3 weeks! They tell me I will be in the hospital for 48 hours to 72 hours. With my first two, I was in for 3 nights and 4 days–much better to recuperate. So I have major surgery and 2 days later, I’m out. I thought they were trying to keep moms in for longer these days, not push them out because of insurance money. Yeah, I’m complaining. Not like I enjoy being in the hospital, I just remember the pain and how it was easier after 3 days. But we will have a new daughter to look forward to, so I will concentrate on that instead of stupid medical ideas and insurance companies.
We have a few more things we need to get ready. I don’t have any wipes yet. I forgot about those things. I also need diapers and Desitin. There are a couple of things on my registry at Target that I still want/need, but can do without. I am trying to decide what outfit to bring her home in. I don’t remember it being a big deal with the first two, but for some reason, I want stuff to match.
I am just so excited to meet our girl. I think everyone is pretty excited. Sometimes David and I ask each other, “What were we thinking?!” We have only a short time with our older two and we would have been done. That is ok. I don’t know if I’m ready to have an empty nest just yet. I’ll let you know in a month. (ha, ha.) I can’t help but thinking how fast the time will go by with this one and I do want to be a mom still.
I’ll try to post more pictures tomorrow. In the meantime, you can go to David’s blog and see the picture of our oldest receiving an honor at church.
