Build A Bear

This morning, we took Miss Priss to Build A Bear to make a little something for her and Little Miss. Turns out, you can't buy "little somethings", so we now have two large-ish stuffed animals (I think stuffed animals are the bane of any mom's existence... what do you do with all of them??). The plan is for P to take the animal up to the hospital when she first meets T.

P selected a bunny for sister and a kitty for herself. As we were waiting, she spotted this Hello Kitty monstrosity... luckily, we were able to distract and put it back in the bin!

38 weeks

I'm:
~ 2-3 cm dilated
After mentioning a few "symptoms" to Dr R, he was concerned I was leaking amniotic fluid. A fern test, a litmus test, and an Amniosure that they use in L&D all were negative... thank goodness because otherwise, Little Miss would be here!

With Miss Priss I was:
~ 1 cm dilated
~ 75% effaced

37 weeks

I'm:
~ measuring 38 weeks
~ a finger tip dilated

With Miss Priss I was:
~ measuring 38 weeks
~ a finger tip dilated
~ 50% effaced

Based on the sonogram this morning, T weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces and is 20 inches long. That was Miss Priss' birth weight and length at 40 weeks! My c-section is scheduled for the 24th at 7 AM!! I'm extremely nervous, but know this is a sure fire way to avoid the 4th degree tear I had with P.
