Final Countdown!

Well, it’s been awhile since we’ve posted. We’re in the final countdown until the birth of our next baby boy. I have a C-section scheduled for February 15th and am hoping to make it until that day. My doctor gives me a 90% chance of making it until the 15th if I try to get more rest. This baby is bigger than Jude and I am horribly uncomfortable. Jude was 20 inches long and weighed in at 8 pounds even. The doctor estimates this little boy is/will be 9 or 9-1/2 pounds. No wonder I feel like my abdomen is going to explode. I definitely am excited to get him out of me and to get a good look at him. I haven’t been thinking much about what it will be like to have another baby. Most of my focus has been on how the new baby is going to accepted by Jude. I know Jude will be crazy about him. But, Jude is a Mommy’s boy and is very possessive of me. Jude’s not going to like that I shouldn’t lift him/carry him for probably 6 weeks post-C-section. He’s also not going to like me having to not sit by him in the back seat of the car. Life will change for little Jude and all of us very soon. But, as was the case when we welcomed Jude into the world, I’m sure it is going to change for the better.
