The end is in sight!

I went in last Friday for my weekly OB check up thinking they would tell me everything's progressing and we'll plan for a nice, simple, normal birth in the next week or so. Well I did get the news that my body is progressing, but that my little Miss Molly is breech. Breech?!! Are you serious? Not at all in my plan. Maybe that's what God is trying to teach me these days. I'm not in control. Ok, Lord, got the message loud and clear.

I did however want to know exactly when she's coming and I got my wish. Just be careful what you wish for right?! So Miss Molly will be arriving via C-section this Friday, August 6, 2010 around 7:30am provided I don't get bumped for those more emergent patients. My OB is convinced I won't make it until Friday but I kind of hope I do so that way I can pretty myself up and also finish seeing patients this week. My staff did convince me to take off Thursday though. They are probably right...I should enjoy my last day or semi freedom. There is no such thing as freedom when you already have a sweet little 2 year old. I love him!

Last night Mark pointed out his "Night Night", his bed, and then Molly's "Night Night". We're hoping that he atleast has some type of clue that things are about to be different at the house. He was so cute covering his Daddy up with all of Molly's towels that I had laid out to wash. He topped off covering Daddy with towels and giving Daddy Molly's nursing pillow with Molly's diapers on David's rear end. Don't worry I got pictures and I'll post them soon. It was too cute. He's going to be my little helper I can tell.

So I know almost exactly when our lives will be filled with more love. We're getting really excited to see what she looks like. I'm praying she'll be slightly recessive so she will look like she's my child. David prides himself in his dominance :) Stay tuned for blog posts about our new little girl!

It's time to get crafty!

I think I found my next project...making a baby mobile.

Butterfly baby mobile

It's going to be a variation of this style, but I was happy to find a website with instructions.

Frilly Bloomers :)

I ordered a cute little pair of white bloomers (diaper cover) with sweet lace, 2 pink bows, one on either leg and Molly's name embroidered in script on the little booty. I was so excited when I got them in the mail last week and I run up to David with a huge smile on my face..."Hey, Dave, look the bloomers came in the mail. Aren't they so sweet?!" David's response was a look of you've got to be kidding me and "a diaper cover, what does she need that for?!" Oh he just does not know what is in store for him!!!

It's a Molly!

The day was March 17th, St. Patty's day. David and I went in for the revealing of our second, and probably last, child's gender. I've made it no secret that my heart was set on a girl. Of course we wanted a healthy baby, but I knew the tears would flow if it was another boy. Don't get me wrong there is no one more precious to me than my sweet Mark, but come on it would be awesome to have the best of both worlds!

So here's how it played out...They call my name to come back to the sonogram room. Immediately my heart starts racing. I'm thinking, this is it, we're about to find out and there's nothing I can do about the outcome. Am I sure I'm ready for this?! I lay back on the table and I kid you not my heart feels like it's about to beat out my chest. I say to the sonographer "I really hope this is a girl. Do you have many people cry in here?" I know she must have thought I'm mother of the year. Already deciding that I'm going to be hugely disappointed if it's a boy. I would have cried, alright?! I still would have loved another son. Brothers would be so great! So she starts the sonogram, finding every organ of the baby, taking all her measurements and HER SWEET TIME!!! I felt like she was torturing us...come on lady, get to the good stuff!!! The moment arrives, we being normal people, not sonographers, can't tell at this point. Then she says "ok you can cry tears of joy." There Molly was in all her glory. I had her recheck again and point out to me proof she was a girl. My heart calmed down and tears rolled down my face. I was SOOO overwhelmed though. I'm not sure I know what to do with a little girl. Mark's easy...balls, cars and dirt. Not to mention he's a lot easier on the pocket book if you know what I mean. David's comment was "holy cow I have a daughter!" We were both so pleased and dumbfounded that we actually got what we wanted. The shopping has begun and not sure when it will stop. I have so many bows to buy :)
