I know that it has been awhile since my last post and most of you know already but for those of you who don't know yet we are having another girl!
We took the kids with us to the ultrasound so that they would be able to see the baby inside mommy's tummy! Cambree kept lifting up her shirt and saying, "my turn" and "babies my tummy" while poking her tummy! Still to this day she thinks she has a "babies" in her tummy! Ethan thought the whole experience was cool and loved being able to see the baby's bones and legs and arms and heartbeat. I'm not sure if he really saw what we were showing him but he kept saying he saw it. So when the tech showed that it was a girl we looked over at Ethan and asked if he was excited for another sister and he said yes. We thought this was good since he had been so adimate about having a brother. Later that day though I was talking to him and saying how happy I was that we were going to have a sister and that he was happy too. He seemed to not be understanding so I told him, you know that because we are having a sister that means you won't have a brother. He immediatly got upset and gave me a scoul and said "hey....no...but I want a brother mom." So we had to have a long talk about how great it was to be a big brother to two sisters and how much they will love him and what a great big help he would be.
And today I am happy to report that he is very excited to be having another baby sister! He asks all the time," mom... is it time for the baby to come out your tummy yet? I say,"no..not yet." Ethan rolls his eyes and sighs. Like he is the one that is inconvienced by the baby not being able to come out yet.
This pregnancy has been less complicated in some ways but more complicated at the same time. I went a lot longer without going into labor (@ 27 weeks). The other two were 23 weeks with Ethan and 20 weeks with Cambree. I started having contractions about 22 weeks and have been able to keep them under control until 27 weeks. So now I am the fab drugs to keep labor at bay and on a partial bedrest. We do though have an increase in other risks since I have malformed uterus and have had two previous c-sections like placenta abruption and placenta ecreta just to name a few. My doctor is watching me very carefully and we hope to be able to catch anything early! My doctor says I will never have a full term baby with my complications but we really work hard to keep them in as long as possible. So that is were we are today. We are a day away from being 29 weeks and just taking it a day at a time. Every week gained is a blessing!
So that's our baby update!
Soon I will post Cambree's and Ethan's birthdays!
