Baby D comes today.
It is 6:30am and I'm hungry and thirsty. Can I eat and drink NO! But I will persevere because today is the day that we meet our baby. I have a c-section planned because Baby D has decided to stay breech and not to flip. He still has until we get to the hospital and they do an ultrasound to see if he actually is still breech. I slept pretty good. I got up to take Miss D potty at about 2:15am. I had set my alarm to get up at 2:30am to eat a snack and drink what I could while I still could. Cut off was at 3:00am. It is going to be really hard... I'm so thirsty!!! Maybe brushing my teeth will help.
Today is going to be a really cool day!
I feel bad for the little guy. He is just minding his own business all cozy and in a few hours his little world as he knows it is going to be seriously rocked.

C-Section MONDAY
I have another NST today and another Friday. I also have 2 more Chiropractic adjustments to try and get him to flip from being breech. If all my shenanigans fail and he stays breech then I show up Monday for a C-Section! He should be above 8 pounds by then... and we are so excited to meet him! Last minute preparations... like my haircut today. He is still contained and quiet right now. Perfect time for a last minute haircut. We also had to move ALL of our stuff out of where it was stored into a storage unit. (and when I say we I really mean Mr. D). I packed like 3 boxes in the 2 hours that I was there. I was of NO help at all. He worked it all day yesterday and got 80% of the stuff moved by himself.. then a friend showed up at 5pm to help him with the 2 man stuff. I showed up with dinner last night (prepared by my mother-in-law...cause I'm hugely pregnant with a breech baby and man I'm tired.... his head is so far up between my ribs that it is silly looking). When I got there to feed my tired man I couldn't believe how much he had got done. He said that he was dragging it all day because he didn't have any coffee yesterday morning but you would have never know by all the work that got done. He should be done by lunch time today! GREAT JOB HONEY!

Turning 30 today.
Not sure how I feel about that one. Kinda wishing I could have some drinks tonight to celebrate.. but I don't think baby D would be to happy about that. I will just think about my favorite drink. Let's look at this picture and just think about how yummy it is.... Brandy Sour... how I love your tart yet sweet flavor.
Well that certainly wasn't as good and having one to drink but it will have to do.
I just had a big glass of chocolate milk next Miss D as we watch the backyardigans. We are out of cereal.
My brain has really been out to lunch the last few days. I don't really have much to say. Hmmm.....
My c-section is scheduled for June 22nd. If he has flipped by then I will just have an induction that day instead of a c-section. Crazy that we are really that close to meeting our little guy. He is gaining weight well and I'm thinking he will be in the 8 pound range when he is born.
I'm getting my haircut for my birthday present. We won't go into how much that costs... but it will be the last time before we move to see her.
Welp... off to my birthday day. Hope it's a good one!

Playground Pics
Miss D has been enjoying a few playgrounds in the last few weeks.... This one is in the town that we use to live in and we were at a birthday party. They had a snake hunt and here is Miss D kissing her find...She is getting more brave playing on the slide and climbing on stuff. It is so neat to see her getting out of her comfort zone and trying new things.. such a big girl.

We took Miss D out for some ice cream the other night. It was really hot and our apartment was without air conditioning (we have a window unit now). But those hot days that we had were brutal up here. At about 5pm I would get super grumpy and annoyed. We would have to leave the apartment in order for me to not lose it. We wandered down to our lovely neighbors (Mr.D's parents) and sit on their back patio. It was funny that it would usually be around dinner time and so we would end up going out or eating there. Ice Cream this day was after a dinner out on the waterfront. We couldn't sit outside at the restaurant but there was seating that lined the patio and they had the walls taken off the building to enjoy the weather. I'm now getting to the point of uncomfortableness. By the way Miss D powered through this entire ice cream cone. By the way... notice her ears. We got them pierced to celebrate baby Hazel's 2nd birthday. She still cries when we clean them but I'm thinking it is out of anticipation that it will hurt. It may hurt a little still...... it has only been a week. They are really cute and haven't really bothered her at all. I was thinking we would hear it from her when she tried to sleep... but she hasn't made a big deal about it. She needs daddy while she gets them cleaned to hold her... I'm the bad guy cause I do the cleaning. They haven't gotten red at all and are doing really great.
He is still breech so I don't have that heaviness feeling but it is getting more and more interesting to have a head lodged in my right ribs. Today I was trying to put lotion on my legs and I could barely reach over because his head was blocking my rib cage from allowing me to reach my legs. I really am doing well and so is he. Except for the breech part. If he doesn't flip before the week of the 22nd of June I will have him that week. That will be my 38th week. If he does flip I will get to be induced the week before that. I really don't care either way... I just want him to be healthy and happy. He is still so active and wiggly. I went in on Tuesday for an NST (Non Stress Test) where they hooked me up to monitor his heartbeat and my contractions (which I'm not having any). He looked wonderful. He had the hiccups when I was in there. They also measured my fluid level and it was well within normal range. So he still has lots of room to move around. A week ago he was almost 6 pounds. I go in again tomorrow for a NST.
Last Sunday we celebrated my cousin's upcoming wedding with a day out in a limo for wine tasting. Yes... I had a few sips. It amounted to I would guess a few teaspoons... but it was so yummy. I got a bottle of the one that was our favorite. We had a great time out. I had never been on a tasting excursion. We only made it to 2 wineries but we still had a great time.
We also said goodbye to Mr. D's truck tonight. Miss D was heartbroken. She loved going with daddy on dates in his truck. She broke down and had a good cry as the people showed up to by the truck. She even gave it a few pats good bye. It was really sweet. We put the truck up on Craigslist and the 1st person that called on it wanted to by it. I bet it was only on Craigslist for a few days. We still have my car up on Craigslist and we are about to renew the ad for my car. Anyone want to buy a 2007 Jeep Commander? Down to one vehicle... that should be interesting. I guess it shouldn't be to bad... Mr. D doesn't have a job.
