The end is near!

This kid will be here June 1st if my water doesn't break before then that is. I never wanted a c-section, but I have been trying to think of the positives....

*At least no laboring for hours just to end up with one.

*I will be able to have a shower and get ready that morning.

*If my water breaks at least on my way there I already know what is in store, no surprise c-section later.

*My doctor will be the one who delivers him since he is going on vacation the day before my due date. I really wanted him to be the one to deliver Carson.

*If he waits until June 1st Eric won't have had to work a 16 hour day only to come home and wake up 2 hours later with me in labor.

*Eric will be able to take his final early and be done.

*No going over my due date, especially in this heat that is getting worse!!!

*No laboring for hours on end, I mean I will go in and we will meet our son soon!

*Eric will take good care of me and Carson afterwards if I am in pain and can't do things. I love that he is in the medical field! And he worked for a while in the NICU and is use to babies. So I don't have to worry there.

*No cone-head baby, he shouldn't be all squished up.

*I have to say with him being butt down I have had no heartburn or difficulty breathing.

*There are really cute hospital gowns that I could order if I choose instead of wearing the ugly ones they give you.... www.babybeminematernity.com. I havn't decided if that is a stuck up thing to do or not. I mean I don't want to seem totally self absorbed, I am totally there to meet my baby!! Don't know if I will. I just thought they were cute.


So there are the good things about having a breech baby and knowing your about to have a c-section.
Eeeks! That is exactly 3 weeks from today!!!! He is still breech and the way he is there is a good chance my water could break before and I would have to have an emergency c-section. I would rather make it to June 1st (not only because I think it is a pretty cool birthday) but Eric would have his school stuff done. Oh well, we will welcome him anytime!!! It is afterall ALL about Carson now!!!!

June 1st!!! So exciting.

And just for the record, I already have my hospital gowns picked out...I have for over a year now. LOL I don't think it's stuck up. I like the idea of looking cute in the pics vs. wearing a hospital gown that thousands have worn. :)

((hugs))
