Big brother kit

So I wanted to make sure that Haven was occupied during my stay in the hospital. So I decided to make him a "Big Brother kit". It's going to have stickers and art stuff, a puzzle, his leap pad (provided as long as I get batteries...retched chore) a big brother book and his beloved snacks. I also made him a big brother t-shirt to wear and oh yes, Quinn has a matching onesie to wear too. I hope this stuff will keep him occupied for a while. I won't have I labor or anything like that, but at least he will have something to do during his visits. Not sure how long the nostalgia will last with the baby!

Doctor's Appointment - 32 weeks - Barnes

I saw Dr. Barnes on Monday and it was a VERY routine appointment.  Blood pressure is good and the heartrate was 148 bpm. 
I actually had a question for him.  I NEVER remember any of my questions when I am actually at the doctor.
Question: How long can I not drive for after the c-section? 
Answer: 2 weeks or longer, depending if you are still on the pain killers.
So I went thru my dates of my maternity leave and planned accordingly.  Looks like I will be starting my leave on July 18 and will return full time on September 20.  I will actually be going into work on Fridays to pay bills and brokers.  But not for the first two weeks!
Last night we took Haven and Ella Weezer to the sibling class that Presbyterian offers.  It helps the big kids learn how to change a diaper, hold the baby properly and what to expect when the baby is here.  I think he liked it.  Minus the annoying kid that wouldn't stop talking over the teacher. Haven finally looked at him and said "Shhh!"  I almost peed in my pants.  It was hilarious. 
Still working on the nursery.  I have to get the bedding finished (almost there) and find a few little knick knack things and something for one of the walls and I should be done!   She will be making her bebut 6 weeks from today!  Crazy.  I also have a shower coming up on Sunday.  Exciting!

Quinn has a Birthdate - Tentatively!

So I got the phone call today from the doctor's office scheduling my c-section.  It's going to be July 19th at 7:30am!  Whooo hoooo!  Kelly and I have to be at the hospital at 5am and the c-section starts at 7:30am.  Dr. Sweeny and Dr. Castellion wil be the ones doing it.  I cannot have food or drink from 10pm the night before.  So, unless she decided to make an appearance before then (yeah right!), then we get to meet her in 6 weeks and 6 days!  That's crazy soon!  I got to get her bedding done!
