I just put my "baby" down for her nap. She's been kind of whiny the last couple of days so I decided to rock her and sing to her. She didn't sleep well last night (and neither did I) so she was very tired and cuddly. It was so nice to just cuddle my sweet little girl as her eyes started to fade. I got all teary since I know our family will be changing tonight! She will no longer be the baby. I just hope she knows she will always be my baby:)
I had an amnio this morning. I went into it with some experience from my last pregnancy so I wasn't as nervous. But even with that, it is an intimidating thing to do. I got there early so I would be all ready to go when my doctor came. Problem was he was stuck at another hospital that he was on call at and had some issues there. So I literally laid in that bed at least an hour just waiting. He finally got there and of course our baby boy had to be as stubborn as Jordyn was. He had a hard time finding a pocket and said that this baby takes up a lot of room. Tell me about it doc:) So he finally pics a spot and I just have my eyes closed the whole time. He sticks the needle in and it hurt a lot worse than I remembered. I just keep my eyes closed. Then as he is trying to get the fluid, I all of a sudden felt like crap! It felt like the blood was draining from my face and legs. I got all sweaty and my doctor asked if I was ok. I lied and said I was ok but I just felt hot and light headed. He told me it was a vasovagal response (as he started to fan me) and said he wouldn't go on until I had recovered from it. Well, at least he knew what happened. The nurse got me a wet washcloth for my forehead and neck and felt a lot better. Then he had to do it again on the other side because it didn't work the first time. My kids like to give me a hard time!! I had to have two with Jordyn as well. I just relaxed with the cool washcloths and even though it hurt just as much, at least I didn't have that reaction again. He said he normally doesn't have to do it twice and of course it's my luck that I had to do it twice both times! O-well. He checked that spot with the ultrasound after he was done and said he had a feeling not to go down any further. I guess there was a blood vessel right underneath where he stuck the needle and if he would have punctured it, I would have been on my way to have a c-section all by myself!! Not cool!! I truly believe it's great when you have members of the church as your doctors. I know what his 'feelings' are and am very thankful for them:) Anyway, then I had to get monitored for a bit and then went home. They called before I even made it home that his lungs were good and we were still set for nine tonight!! So after nine long months, we get to meet our son sometime tonight or early tomorrow morning!! I'm so excited to see his cute little face.
And while I'm at it, I also figured I would add pics of their rooms. They aren't totally done. We don't have the pics and names up but at least their clothes and stuff are put together and put away:) This is going to be the baby's room. We painted it green with Jordyn and I thought it would work just fine for a boy too. I just needed to add touches of blue! Obviously we still need to take Jordyn's pink name off the wall but will be replaced with blue letters once they are done! And we will also put up some other pics.
I forgot how tiny those newborn diapers are!!
Makenna put the hearts we made for Valentine's day on her wall plus her birthday sign:)
And there is Jordyn's side. She will eventually have her name on that side:) That's the new dresser we bought. I think it looks really nice.

Yeah. I know you say that this is your last baby, but if you decide to have one more. You are not going to go have the amnio by yourself, ever again. Their rooms look nice. You did a good job. Aiden is a lucky baby boy. To have you and Travis as parents and two big sisters who already love him too much.
Aww, I can't wait to see pics of Aiden! I hope everything is going well. Thinking of you.

You guys did a great job on the rooms and decorating in preparation for Aiden! What a beautiful family. I'm so glad you live close by. Can't wait to hold the kids again....especially Aiden.
Dendy is right!!--next time you do an amnio--do NOT go alone. Think Aiden needs a brother?? lol
