and counting till the newest E family member arrives...
Had a doctor appt today, and the baby is NOWHERE near being engaged in my pelvis, so in a conservative estimate, labor is about 6 months off. Good thing we have a scheduled c-section on the books already. Either something about my pelvis repels my spawn or my body just LOVES hauling this extra load around....but I'm the only part of this picture who seems ready to see things change.
The blood pressure is still good - again, to my dismay - since I planned on starting my leave March 13 with the idea that I would most likely end up on bed rest again (statistically, that was supposed to happen) somewhat earlier than that. No dice. Ah well...
The insomnia is unbelievable at this point...if this baby only sleeps as much as Zach ever did (which was virtually none at times), I'll be way ahead of where I am now. I'm ready to have the baby just for the opportunity to nap during the day--when I feel like I could actually sleep.
Although I'm still somewhat anxious about this baby and becoming a parent again (I REALLY thought this would all be resolved by this point of the pregnancy), I'm getting a little excited to meet this little bug and see who he/she is...and hopefully be pleasantly surprised about parenting this time around.

A day in the life of and random musings by me...mostly about Zachary and baby brother Marcus, the center of my world.

We all hope for a pleasant surprise, though it'd be hard to beat the angel that is your son...
Hang in there, chiquita - you can do this. You've been through lots harder.
And there's a little bit of baby love heading toward you via USPS...
You're almost there!
I hope your insomnia goes away very soon and you can get some rest!
I am so excited, Kim!! I was really hoping I'd come here today and find that Baby was already here! I sort of lost track of the EDD but remembered something about March!
Happy End of Pregnancy to you! Can't wait to get a glimpse of the new baby soon!
Hang in there! I am so excited for you and can not wait to "meet" the newest E family member!
