36 Weeks Down; 3 Weeks to Go!
Sunday, April 12, 2009
At most, I have three weeks and one day before this new baby arrives via c-section. I have almost everything I need (in our closest where baby will sleep for the first few months before moving upstairs). I never did find the right inspiration for his room so I haven't done anything with it. Lilly's old crib in still there along with the IKEA dresser/changing table and Lilly's old table/chairs. The walls are bare and it really doesn't look good. I wasn't worried about it. After all, baby won't be moving up there until he starts to sleep better. And I have plenty of time to decorate after he is born, right?But now, with three weeks to go, I'm suddenly feeling like I need to finish his room and really settle on a name so that we will feel welcome and like we have been anticipating his arrival. The name situation hasn't changed. I have a special name that I have named him in my heart, but Hubby isn't too excited about that name. I would like to agree on a name, but I can't imagine naming my little baby boy most of the names that Hubby likes. So, we're nowhere. It's really stressing me out. I love the name I choose. Most people that I ask really like it, but Hubby's family doesn't really care for it. Do I care? It's my baby. I (we) will name him whatever I like, right?
I'm getting excited about meeting this little guy. Lilly is such a girlie girl, which I love. So, it'll be nice to have a boy now and experience all the superhero things or whatever it is that boys do.
The OB doesn't think he'll arrive anytime soon. I'm only 50% effaced and not dilated at all. I'm still having plenty of contractions, but they are not painful. However, they have changed from the normal kind to feeling crampy. So, maybe we made some progress this week. I'll find out on Wednesday. I grew 3.5 cm last week so we're doing another sonogram on Wednesday to check fluid levels and the baby's size. I've been feeling so faint that I'm going to call the OB tomorrow anyway. It's getting worse everyday and I can't seem to get rid of it today.

I hope you sort the name situation out soon and feel really ready for the baby to arrive! Thinking of you and hoping the faintness clears.
