Well, we have had quite the weekend! We found out on Friday that our "little" guy is actually going to be a pretty big guy. Our doctor is worried that his shoulders might be too big to have a normal delivery. So, for his safety and mine, we have decided to have a c-section on Monday. We're going in to the hospital in the late morning to check in and be prepped for surgery. The actual surgery will be at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and hopefully he will be here quite quickly after that!
We were thrown for a loop at first, as we had planned on the traditional birth, with the excitement of not knowing, calling our friends and family to let them know he had arrived, etc. But we are now quite settled in to the idea of this being the best for our son, and we are actually looking forward to a calm afternoon with our little family of 3. Our doctor has been wonderful about everything, and has promised to let John stay with our little guy up in the nursery to be assessed, while I am being stitched back up. And then letting him bring little man back down to the recovery room as soon as possible so they can be with me for the rest of the evening. Hopefully, recovery will go quickly, and we will be in a normal room by that evening, ready for our first night together as a family! Even though we won't be in a room until that night, John will definitely be letting everyone know how everything went, and we'll kind of do a phone tree to spread the word!
We will be posting photos up too, just as soon as we can! You know we'll have thousands by the first night! We love all you guys so much and cannot wait to see you with our new bundle of joy!
