A C-WHAT?

So, after the last two weeks of trying everything possible to induce labor... including RUNNING on a treadmill and getting odd looks at the gym every day... the contractions keep stopping. They start and hurt for a few hours and then completely stop, dead in their tracks. No baby.

I went to Dr. A on Monday for a routine check and we've got a problem...

It appears Baby Quinn and Mama Aubreigh are not going to be compatible.

It is impossible to tell just how big (or small) Quinn is at this point. He looks to be pretty average (6 or 7 pounds). But, these little hips of mine are still just that... LITTLE. Quinn keeps trying to push his head through that bony pelvis of mine, but he just can't quite make it. I am officially "due" tomorrow... but, it's just not going to happen. If no labor by next Monday we will have to schedule a C-Section. In Dr. A's words, "Dear, next week I think we are going to have a heart-to-heart." YIKES!

So, the blessing date for March 21st is cancelled... looks like Mama will still be in the hosptial. But, I am so grateful for a healthy boy. Who knows... if this baby comes out and is 10 pounds, I will shock the world! Biggest bummer of it all: C-sections limit the amount of kids a woman can have. But, nothing is set in stone... it is just a 95% chance I will need one ;)

Stroller for Sale!

Did you know not all carseats fit in all cars? Either did I... until today. In my efforts to procrastinate the day when my backseat permanently became babyland, I avoided putting my carseat in the back of my car until the last possible minute. Yes, days before my due date. I was completely heartbroken to discover my 2001 Camry does not hold the car seat/base. So, off to the store for yet another unplanned baby purchase (they aren't kidding when they say babies are far more expensive than you'd think). A new carseat means new stroller. So, pass it along!
