4 WEEKS 6 DAYS

4 WEEKS 6 DAYS

We have decided to go the C-section route. Which only means that I have 4 weeks 6 days until this little baby girl will be out of me!!!! HALLELUJAH!! 

We decided about a month ago (maybe I decided) to go ahead with a planned c-section. At that time it was for the reason that I didn't want to get my hopes up about my placenta moving and then what if it didn't? And being in and out of the hospital didn't help either. I also didn't have a very good experience with Caidans birth and didn't want to end up being in labor for three days and turn around and have another emergency c-section because she was TOO big and I couldn't pass her (I feel like I am describing something very disgusting.) I would actually love to have another emergency c-section because it goes by so fast and I don't have time to think of what's going to happen (I know I am crazy!) September 17th is the schedule day for her to arrive into this world. 

As far as how I am doing everything is going great. My placenta did move and is far enough away that they aren't worried anymore. I haven't been back to the hospital in about 3 weeks !YES! and I am getting around good. I am more exhausted then ever... my whole body hurts more than I thought it could ever hurt... I don't think that my stomach can stretch any bigger but my doctor reassured me that it can... Its been a difficult 8 months but I know that in 4 weeks 6 days that everything will be worth it. 

Caidan is a boy... and I mean that. He loves to be outside... He loves our neighbor who is an older guy but both of them some how understand each other... He really is a toddler now and its scary... He climbs on EVERYTHING! IF he can't get up on something he finds something to push over to it to get up on it. He doesn't even drink from a bottle anymore. He is EXTREMELY smart! I think you just don't think as a parent that your child can comprehend things but boy does he understand MORE than I am aware of. He is truly one of the best things in the world that has happened to me and I can't wait till i can play with him more in 4 weeks 6 days.



Here is Caidan in the hole that our neighbor was digging to fix his fence.


Caidan touched the dirt and that was it... he doesn't like his hands messy... only when he is eating a fruit bar... thats our dog Mason making sure he is okay!

He loves his lawn mower but he loves the real one 100x more!!!
