2 - Updated With Pictures
Phew! What a lovely weekend. Kent ended up doing all the grocery shopping for me and we just left some of the cleaning undone. Of course it was fine. My cousin's 7 year old daughter is so much fun to be around I can't even describe how delightful she is. This visit she was especially excited to hang out with "Uncle" Kent. They had a blast together. They conspired to get his gift to the shower without me knowing. She did a great job, and said exactly what she was supposed to when it was put in front of me.
The shower was just perfect. Drew and I didn't get to spend a lot of one on one time together but it was still great to see her and everyone else for that matter. I'll post pictures as soon as I weed out all the ones where my double chin is bigger than the rest of my head.
Yesterday CanaMa, Kent and I made a day of rounding up any stuff we still needed and assembling it. It took all day and night but I'm feeling very prepared now. CanaMa has been here only a couple of days and already my house is beyond organized.
The c-section is scheduled for 7:30 Wed morning. The three of us (CanaMa, Kent and I) all met with the doctor this morning to get all of my questions answered. Apparently I have a rather narrow pelvis and a large headed child. I'd always assumed that I had a wide pelvis because that's a wide area on my body. It's interesting to know that's not the case (a.k.a. I have no excuse for that wideness). I'm more excited than scared now. I'll be in the hospital for 4 days so I'm training CanaMa to post for me during that time. Hopefully she'll have it down and there will be lots of pictures.
I can't believe it's almost here.

So excited for you! It's almost here!!! Wow, can't believe you will be in the hospital for 4 days for a c-section. Where I am, I was in the hospital for 72 hours from the time of the baby's birth. Sounds like you are mentally prepared now...you will be fine and look forward to pictures and story!

How freaking exciting!!! You look beautiful in your pictures. I looked so tired and swollen before I had Dermot. Since Dermot was born at 11 pm, my days started then. so I only got 3 days and a little bit in the hospital. I wish that I had had four days. Good luck with everything.

I had Madeline at 7:47 pm, and was out of the hospital by noon the next day. WAY too short a stay. Four days would have been heavenly. That's one perk to the C-section I guess. You do look absolutely lovely in those pictures. I think the word would be 'glowing'. ONE MORE DAY. Wow. SO exciting.

I am unbelieveably excited for you. It's great that you get so much time in the hospital. I had Noah on Thursday night and we left the hospital Saturday morning - after I had a full on nervous breakdown because I wasn't ready to leave the hospital yet. Make sure you take advantage of everything the hospital has to offer. Including the opportunity to get some rest before you, Kent and Ellis are on your own. And don't be afraid to ask a million questions.
You really do look stunning in your pictures. So pretty and happy. And your resemblance to your mother is striking.
Can't wait to see those pictures of Ellis. Maybe you can dictate some notes to CanaMa too!
Best wishes for a safe Csection.
