Yikes. This is 30 weeks pregnant. I have exactly 9 weeks to go until my scheduled c-section. That is a
whole lot more growing.
All of my babies have been very stubborn or difficult in one way or another. None of them have been voluntarily born before about 42 weeks, which is nearly two weeks over due. Since this little one is actually on the schedule for extraction on May 25th (a week early), I've developed a nagging suspicion that he or she will try to make an early break. Just to be difficult. Because my kids are like that.
So, it's time to get things ready for baby. I nearly had a panic attack the other night, thinking the baby would be born early and I wouldn't have any clothes washed for the wee bairn(pregnant women tend to panic about these things.) So I dug out the baby clothes to sort and wash. Since we have "surprise" babies, there's lots of yellow. And lots of things with little duckies on them. Apparently, ducks are the only gender-neutral motif that baby clothing designers can come up with.
My girls and I hit the thrift stores over the weekend to pick up a few more things to round out the new baby's wardrobe. I have a weakness for overalls- besides the few new pairs I snagged at the thrift, I uncrated at least a dozen more that I'd had in storage since the last baby outgrew them. The little girls 'helped' me fold the first few wash loads this morning. I actually have garments that have been worn by every single one of my babies!
