9 Months

Here we are at 9 months pregnant. Wow, that sure came fast! We are all prepared and ready to go...well, as much as we can be anyway. We are registered at the hospital, have the car seat in the car and have the nursery all set up. So, here's the plan...I have a non-stress test later today and another one on Tuesday. Sydney slowed down a lot in her movement, so while the doctor is out of town for a few days he wants things to be monitored. We're not really worried about anything, but the doc just wants to make sure. Why do the doctors always leave town when you might need them the most? Goodness. Anyway, I am scheduled to have my labor induced on Friday the 14th of August. It is 4 days earlier than my due date, and exactly one month before Ethan's birthday. Dr. Brown is a little worried she may be a big baby. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but as long as she's healthy, I'm happy.

We aren't quite sure how Ethan is going to take to his new baby sister. He really is a tender child, but sometimes I'm afraid he might not understand that she is not a doll. He is sweet with the babies and the baby dolls at work, but this is different. I suppose we'll just roll with the punches...like we do with everything else.

Well, that's the update for now. I'm guessing the next post will be about our sweet little girl. Yay!
