New Date!

John and I went to see my OB today to discuss Emily and how 'healthy' she is. After telling my doc that she is 5 pounds, 2 ounces and her head is in the 90th percentile, she suggested that maybe we might want to do a c-section. She didn't push, but she went through the complications for both and John and I decided to better safe than sorry and schedule a c-section for September 19th. The 19th is turning out to be mine and John's special number; he proposed June 19th, we got married May 19th and now if all goes as planned, Emily's birthday will be September 19th. We are excited and feel good about our decision, but anyone out there who has had a c-section and wants to tell me what to expect, the information would be much appreciated!

Sonogram

Today we had our 32 week sonogram. My doctors are still confusing me regarding how far along I am. Anyway, while we there I had two things I wanted to accomplish. I wanted to know if she was actually a girl (I am a paranoid person and have been having dreams of taking a little boy home in a pink dress) and I wanted another 4D pic of her face (hoping that her dadddy would like this one). Well, I got one out of the two (still a girl!!), so I was satisfied. Emily is already head down and facing my spine and would not move. The more the tech tried to move her, the more she stayed put. She was also being stubborn about letting me see the girl parts; she had one foot covering what I wanted to see and the more the tech moved my tummy, she pulled the other foot up to block it as well. This just lead John to say that she is just like her mommy. Great. The tech also told us that she has a head ful off hair. Not just some, lots. John said it looked brown, but everyone knows how that is just wishful thinking since it was black and white.... because of course I saw red! Emily is already 5 pounds 2 ounces which means if the due date is right and she continues to grow like she is supposed to, she will be around 8 and a half pounds, which is huge compared to the other babies being born the my church friends. I go see my OB on Thursday and we will discuss how big she is and might be and whether or not I can deliver her. She isn't a really huge baby, but we never talked about my limit and if I have one. We will see Thursday!

Since she was not in a position for good pics, I don't have any new ones of her, but I do have my 33 week photo.

Nothing else too exciting is going on, just trying to get ready for the school year. I go back on the 18th... eek!!
