WE ARE READY! 3 DAYS... FRIDAY IS BABY DAY!
This is the week Baby Rhett arrives and we are all excited and anxious to meet him! We had my very last OB appointment yesterday (Once again, no progress) and got the game plan! Dr. Tom took us COMPLETELY off guard and offered to do my csection yesterday afternoon, but we were and AREN'T prepared for that, so I can't blame him for Rhett not being here yet, cause he tried! He said, "Ok i've got 2 options for you,
you
can have Rhett this afternoon (yesterday) at 4:30 or we can keep it for
Friday and you come in at 8am and wait your turn. I've got 2 other
cases Friday and if a lady comes in in labor she trumps everyone. So
what do you want to do?"
OMG talk about being put on the spot! My
initial internal response was, "DO IT NOW! GET HIM OUT!" but then
logically, and looking at Josh for his opinion and guidance before I blurted that out, yesterday was just not
feasible or right. We want to keep Shelby's routine and schedule as
normal as possible and having him yesterday would have TOTALLY disrupted
her week of fun plans at school (they're raising change for Multiple
Sclerosis and having a different theme each day of dress up and i'm sure activities), messed up Josh's week
of planned meetings and business and not to mention him already putting in to be off
all next week as well as the few things I need to get done at work these
last three days before I"m off til May, YES I am working til Thursday...LOL.. what else should I do? There's no progress, I've been having contractions and cramping off and on inconsistantly for 2 weeks now and I CANNOT just lie around the house and do nothing or I'll go crazy!
Rhett arriving will change our
lives soon enough but rushing that is not something we want to do to
Shelby. She's super excited and even was kinda upset at us for NOT
taking doc up on his offer.... having Rhett on a Friday will be sooo
much better for EVERYONE. We will have BOTH SETS of grandparents
available for her and they'll be able to take her and do whatever she wants (we live an hour
and 15 mins away fr the hospital but it's the hospital my parents work
at and the town where they live) and she won't have to miss school or
any of her activities as well as we can have guests, if anyone chooses to come see us and the baby, and no one has to take off work and so on...
So....with all this babbling we covet your
prayers and thoughts! I'm
totally ready and have NOT A BIT of worry or anxiety about a repeat
csection. Knowing what to expect has made it so much easier and knowing
how stress-free this delivery will be compared to how Shelby's was, has
made it a lot easier.. God has given me peace! the only "worry/anxiety" i
have is that I PRAY Rhett is RHETT and not a girl! LOL.. there's no
denying it on the 21 week ultrasound DVD we got but only having an
ultrasound at 10 weeks and 21 weeks..i wish we could've had just ONE
MORE a few weeks ago to "make sure" lol... i'm a doubting
thomas..lol....but the Lord would not allow us to do all we've done and
prepare all we have, I believe, for him to turn out to be the total
opposite..He's not cruel like that to me, His little OCD child! LOL I hope to post pictures and info. on Friday as it goes and when we have our turn and when
he's here and will do so on my Facebook page (FYI, if you don't ID who you are and how I would know you, I WILL NOT add you as a Facebook friend...just for security/privacy reasons since I do post so much about my family and all) and Instagram.
It's so hard to believe that in less than 3 DAYS WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER CHILD AND A BOY AT THAT! :) God is sooo amazing!! If you had told me a year ago I would be where we are right now, I'd laugh in your face! LOL....
I finished up the last little bit for Rhett's room, which is silly cause he won't be sleeping in there until he's older, but he will have his diapers changed, rocking sessions and i'm sure shelby will want to play in there with him. We are in there every day "practicing". She's in love with him so much already! I can't wait to see her initial reaction and face when she meets him and gets to hold "Her baby" :).

| Pop Pop gave Rhett his first set of horns! I recovered the mount w/ his orange chevron fabric :) |
