Tired Mama

For the past week or so Andy has decided it's play time between about 5-6am, give or take 30 min on either end. Ugh. A friend suggested it's because I've been getting up to use the bathroom around 4:30 and the empty bladder gives him room to stretch out and move around more. Great. Time to limit the fluids before bed and/or learn to hold it, I guess. Once he arrives, he's going to learn pretty quick that we don't get up early around here!

Yikes!

Kaylee usually sleeps until about 7:45-8am in the morning and if we don't have places to be and people to see, I often sleep until about then, too. The c-section on 2/15 was scheduled for noon, but I just got a call that it's been rescheduled...same day, now at 7:45am...and we have to be there 2 hours early. Eep! So we get to start our lack of sleep a night earlier than expected.

So who wants to stay with Kaylee and get her ready for school that morning??

Updated birth date

Looks like Andy will be making an earlier appearance than we'd thought...my doctor is not available on February 18 or 21, so we're scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 15! So unless Andy decides he wants to make his grand debut even earlier (very doubtful!), his birthday will be the day after Valentine's Day next year. Less than 3 months!!

For those of you counting down the days (maybe it's just me?) - just 90 to go as of today!

Birth date?

I just got back from an appointment and everything seems in order. Andy's heart rate was 160 beats/min. The doctor also said we can go ahead and schedule the c-section! I'm waiting to hear back if she's available on 2/18, otherwise we'll schedule it for Monday, 2/21. So unless he decides to make an earlier appearance, Andy will be here at least by the 21st, if not 18th, of February! I'll post an update once we have the date set. We'll schedule the c-section at Northside Forsyth Hospital; the Women's Center opened for baby deliveries in the fall of 2008, just about 6 or so months too late for Kaylee to be born there. That hospital is just a 10 minute drive from our house, so much more convenient - Northside Atlanta is only about 25-30 minutes away, but you never know how traffic will be on GA400, so there's the potential for it to take much much longer than that.

Less than 100 days until Andy's birth day!
