4 weeks from today we will become a family of 4!! I've gotta admit that this pregnancy has definitely worn me out...I've been more tired, more uncomfortable, and generally more bitchy than I was the first time around. My back has been killing me for the last couple of days, my feet are swollen, and I've actually felt a couple of contractions (with Rya, I felt absolutely nothing until I was in full labor). On the bright side, this baby is healthy and apparently very happy since he seems to still enjoy stretching out and making himself at home whenever possible. I've seriously gotta catch his movements on video because it's something straight out of a Sci-Fi flick -even the doc is in awe of the way my belly gets distorted as little guy does his thang.
I had my last 2 week appointment today - the weeklies start next week - and all is as it should be. Blood pressure is good, weight is good, baby is good...again, text book. The doc did mention that there's every possibility that this kid reaches 9 pounds before delivery (Rya was 8lbs 10.6 oz.)...thank goodness for c-sections!! So say a prayer that I can keep my patience intact for at least the next 4 weeks...after that, it's all about dealing with a newborn AND a 2 year old...Heaven help me!!
As for another important issue that everyone has been asking about.......we've decided on a name.......or at least are as close to deciding as we probably ever will be. So - unless we come up with a miracle name in the next 4 weeks, this little boy will be known as......
Keaton Angelo McCormack
In case you're curious, the Angelo is after my grandfather who has been a huge influence in both my life, as well as Roy's. Keaton - well - its one of the few names both Roy and I can remotely agree upon...and that's still not 100%. One thing I've learned this time around - boys are just not as EASY...names, bedding, clothing...you name it and it's just NOT as simple. I have a feeling this will hold true even after Keaton is here :)
Anyways...that's it for now. This chick is tired and needs to go get her 2 year old ready for bed. Enjoy the rest of your week everyone!!!
