5 More Days Until the Big Debut!

5 More Days :) Today marks the last day of appointments before the baby arrives.


The baby read my mind and at least gave me the satisfaction of getting my lovely to-do-lists done before he/she decided to bless us with his/her pressence. We finished Robby's big-boy bedroom this week (except for the cute accessories - Tom said they were not a necessity, but I can't wait to paint his name and shelves so that I can decorate the walls). The nursery is back in order (we kept it the same as Robby's - blue, green, yellow - a safe bet). Kitchen cabinets are being installed as I type, and the countertop guys came and measured yesterday. The tile is supposed to be started on Monday, and I'm confident that all will be neatly finished before I return home from the hospital - okay, probably not.

Other cute news - one of my cousins is also expecting a child this month. She just found out that if the baby doesn't decide to come this weekend, she will be induced on Tuesday, Aug. 17th as well. Who knows - the two might share the same birthday!

The sleep results are in! Robby's sleep clinic called this afternoon and said he has a mild case of upstructed sleep apena (not a big surprise since both grandpas have this). They are recommending he have his tonsils and annoids taken out as a way of increasing his oxygen levels at night. I scheduled an appointment w/ the Ears, Nose, and Throat Specialist (same one that did his tubes), so we shall see what that consult brings.

So, if all goes well and baby decides to stay put, we will head into the hospital on Tuesday morning. Tom will attend the C-section with me & head directly to NICU with the baby once he/she is born. I'll have to go to recovery for a few hours before I will be allowed to be wheeled by NICU on the way to my room. Since visitors will not be allowed to enter NICU without us, Tom will start the phone tree to our family and friends once the baby is stable to let you know he/she has made his/her debut. The baby's first surgery is scheduled for the 18th, and we will let you know the results afterwards as well.
