We had our drs appt with ultrasound - Sprout is a growin and a growin! The ultrasound tech said that they are a lot less accurate at this stage but it did put Sprout at a due date of 1/22. We are keeping the old one for now (2/1) which is just fine with me - anywhere from 6 - 9 wks to go is great! The great news is that Sprout is now head down! All systems are ready now!
Sprout has started to drop and definitely pop out. I look a lot larger now (i know i know) but still feel great. I am definitely more tired as we get closer to the 8th month and acid reflux is kickin in with ALL food but other than that everything is just fantastic!
I think I am going to try to keep working until January 21st if possible. The longer I can work on the front end the more I can stay home once Sprout is here.
We had our hospital tea and tour last weekend which was great. The hospital is really nice and the people that work there are great. We are having Sprout at Little Company of Mary in Torrance. All of the things we have on our birthplan are part of standard procedure there so we are in good hands.
We are officially to the point of going to the Dr every 2 weeks. Our next appt is the 21st and afterwards we hope to be able to meet a Pediatrician. We sure have put that off til the last moment!
On a very exciting note, one of our birth class couples had their baby! Its the first one from our class. They have sent us all updates and pictures - they had a boy named Milo. Adorable!
Sprout continues to move and kick with incredibly force. Our favorite is when Sprout knows Daddy is around - the shifting of an almost 4 1/2 lb baby in my belleh to get closer to their Daddy is a sight to behold! Sprout is getting daily hiccups which is cute and a bit disconcerting (although truthfully it's more cute than anything!).
We are all looking forward to Christmas completely aware that this is our last one without a teeny one. We will be lucky enough to get the boys for most of their Winter break this year but unfortunately, this year is not our year for Christmas morning/day with the boys. The boys will be spending Christmas eve with us and Christmas day with their dad this year so we will have a fairly quiet holiday this year. It's exciting to think that next year Sprout will be with all of us for Christmas morning (of course not quite understanding what the fuss is all about)!
We are incredibly excited to have confirmation that Grandma and Grandpa are definitely coming for the baby shower in January. Thankfully we have a bigger place and a large pull out couch now! :) It will be a short trip but one that will make the short wait til the baby comes more bearable.
Well, that is it for now. I am sure there are tons of things that I am forgetting but honestly, with pregnant brain I am amazed that I have written as much as I have!
