5 days left!!!

Ok, we have almost made it! We have 5 days left until D-Day!!! We went to our last doctor appointment this morning, and did the routine monitors and stress tests. She looked good and was moving and having a variety of heart beats throughout the test, which showed us a good level of activity! The last visit when we had an ultra sound they mentioned she was already around 6 pounds, so we are curious to see if she is bigger or smaller than Zoe was. Zoe was over 8 lbs, and long! So, we shall see soon! I have been feeling pretty good since I finished school and began summer break. Oddly enough I was able to not be stressed and relax so much my first week of summer break that I didn't even need my Zofran meds for throwing up (which has happened this entire pregnancy again)... which just goes to show how stressful a teaching job can be on a preggo lady! ha! I had to start taking it again the other day though because I guess heartburn and the tightness of this belly just make me constantly nauseous and sick! But, again... 5 days left! I have begun to battle a little with anxiety and becoming nervous about having two children, and having this c-section. I am thankful to know what to expect this go around, and I am thankful that we are not going to have to go through the 36 hours of trauma first and then find out we have to have a c-section anyway! So, the time and stress will be saved this go around! I am just nervous because I know the recovery isn't fun~ eek! Either way, I am happy to meet our new little girl... Andi Mae Latimer! We finally decided on her name and are telling people now! It took 9 months to figure out what we both liked, but we did it! Anyway, Zoe is going to be a great big sister and has been very excited. She has began to act out a little though, and demand constant attention from me. I have already had those normal bouts of mommy guilt! Ahhh!! Anyway, we will adjust and learn this new family thing soon. But for now.... we soak up our big girl and soak up our time as a family of three for the last week. This new journey will be wild and great! I have already started getting excited about being a mom of two girlies! I absolutely can not wait!!!!!
