Tell it Again
Tonight Casey and I started talking to Kenny a little more specifically about what’s going to happen when this baby decides to make an entrance. Here’s the “story” we told him:
One of these days in the next few weeks, Mommy will be walking along, or sleeping, or eating or playing, and I will fell something funny! “Ouch! Ooch! Eek! Ooooh!” And you know what that will be? It will be Baboo knocking on my tummy saying, “Hey Mommy! Time for me to come out! Get me outta here!” And I’ll say, “Ouch! Ooch! Eeeeek!” and we’ll drive to the hospital to meet the baby doctor, and he will help get Baboo out of Mommy’s tummy! Then Daddy will bring you in and you can see him (or her) and kiss him (or her) and touch him (or her)! And we won’t call him Baboo anymore… we’ll finally know his (or her) name!
Kenny was enthralled and wanted us to repeat it over and over again. Then we started talking about names. Kenny has been standing firm on two for the last several months (no matter whether it’s a boy or a girl): “Petey the Piggy” and “Freddy the Freddy.” Tonight he thought about it for a minute and said, “Cracker Jack!”
Ok, so we’re not letting him name the baby.
He was also pretty tickled when we told him that when he was in my tummy, since we didn’t know his name yet, we called him “Scooby.” He thought that was a riot. I can’t wait to see how this all pans out… Not just Kenny’s reaction, but I can’t wait to find out if this little kick boxer is a boy or a girl! I can only imagine a boy, but I’m trying to mentally prepare for both. Not easy…
I don’t know about you but these last few nights my dreams have become very vivid and strange to say the least! They have also been a little scary as well because they seem so real. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow and last night I dreamed that my fluid was low during my ultrasound and so they decided to take our little man right then and there. So, I’m a little nervous about tomorrow!
During my dream I also ran into you in the hall! 🙂 Although we live in different cities… BOOM there you and your LITTLE GIRL were. Who knows but I had to share it with you!

Hey Becky, that is what happened to Kristjana’s sister Kimberly. She went for a checkup and her fluid was low and they took her right to the hospital and induced her! good luck

Happy to come stay over and take care of Kenny when you leave for the hospital. Not sure what you and mom have worked out yet… I’ll call you later. 😛

Well, here I am! So, my dream didn’t come true afterall! 🙂 Maddox looks great and continues to get bigger and bigger. Right now he’s measuring 8.9 +/- a pound. He’s in the 98% right now – no wonder I’m so uncomfortable!
Unless things change I’m still scheduled for my c-section on the 27th. I never in a million years thought I would look forward to major surgery but I am! The thought of having him vaginally is a little too scary for me. I’m lucky because I get to see him in an ultrasound every week and it’s amazing how much he changes! His hair is growing like crazy and to see it float around is so cool. It’s hard to believe how fast the last few weeks have gone.
Take care!
P.S. I’m still sure you will be having a little girl! 🙂
