Had another doctor checkup this morning. This was the last one I'll have in town. Just a pre-op appt/checkup next Monday and then the next planned doctor visit will be the C-section. I mentioned to the doctor that I was having pressure/pain really low and I didn't know if something was happening like I was dilating or if the baby was just hitting something. The doctor confirmed that nothing has changed and the baby is still head down. I think that since Caleb was breech, perhaps Baby C is hitting things that Caleb didn't. At least I got it checked since last evening it went on a bit longer and concerned me a bit. May even just be a signal for me to stop and take it easy a bit more.
Starting to finish up on the preparations. Many of the clothes are washed and we have found an antique dresser for the nursery. I have a bit more to do on my hospital bag and would like have it ready and in my car soon for any surprise attack.
Caleb has been showing a variety of behaviors in the last week or so. He was very compassionate the other evening by taking care of me, covering me up with his very own Cars blankie. His blankie is a prized possession which cannot even be parted with for washings. He's started to include baby brother when he's doing things like picking out a crayon for everyone in the family. Then last night he sat himself in the baby carseat which was on the floor and waved his feet while saying "Mama Dada".
We've talked a lot about how things will go on the 26th if baby brother comes as planned. He knows that his aunt will be there with him that morning and that she will drive him to Mommy and Daddy at the hospital to meet his baby brother. If we wind up going with a Plan B, we'll just have to deal with that when it comes.
But, looks like so far things are ready but not really starting yet. Will try and keep it that way so little Baby C can "bake" as long as he's supposed to.
Hope everyone is doing well. I will try to upload new pictures soon, I have one of Caleb in the baby car seat even.
Talk to you soon,
