Been awhile....

Well Brooklyn will be here in 5 weeks. So much has happened in the last few months!

She is doing well, and so am I. She is big, like her brother. I am 34 weeks and measuring 37! My doctor suggests another c-section. Of course I wanted to have a VBAC, but I am not going to try if the baby is large. I get a scan in 2 weeks to get an estimated weight. My weight has fluctuated during this pregnancy I would lose some, gain a few, lose again. Unlike with Brax I lost the whole time. So hopefully after birth I will at least be at my starting weight, and with the help of breastfeeding and walking I can lose some more.

I will be getting a tubal ligation. Rick and I talked about it and we decided we are happy with 2 kids and we are lucky enough to have 1 of each :o)

Dr. says that if I am up and moving around ok after my c-section she will send me home in 48 hours instead of 72. I was so glad to hear that. I just want to get home to Braxton and start our new life as a family of 4 :o)I don't want to be laying in a hospital bed when I can be at home laying in my bed! Rick has 2 weeks off, so he will be helping me while I heal.

I have experienced some contractions this time. I never felt them with Brax, but this time I feel them. If she wants to come early I am all for it :o)

SO I will keep this updated for the next few weeks since I have readers :o) Thanks Barbie and Krissy.

Brax was 9lbs 3oz!

I know I quit breastfeeding with Braxton because it was so difficult! But this time I am armed with more knowledge and supplies, so I will at least be pumping if she doesn't want to latch on.

Oh and walking.....I know ;o)
