Full-Term! (well almost....)

 

I've almost made it full-term (tomorrow)!  The dr. says I'm 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced.  Still - I'm hoping to keep her in for a few more weeks so I can get some work done, Carlos can make more progress on our bathroom and we can come up with a name!  That said, I did finally get out and wash some clothes for her, ordered newborn diapers and packed a hospital bag...

While we wait for her arrival, Charlie and Diego are doing well.  Life feels almost manageable which I know #3 will shortly destroy.  My bag of sugar is becoming a little boy.  It's cute and somewhat sad to me that he isn't my little baby anymore.  He is talking more and tells me random things like the fact that his birthday is in August.  Charlie is also growing up too fast and, unfortunately, starting to pick up some annoying behavior from the playground.  At our parent-teacher conference the teacher confirmed that these days Charlie is more willing to stand up to the rougher boys in the class and be aggressive back.  I want him to be tough, but I kindof preferred it when he just hung out with the girls....

Last weekend we went to the family day at the Corcoran where they enjoyed doing some graffiti, DJing and 'tagging' t-shirts.  Since then Charlie wants to decorate all his clothes and onesies for the baby....

Here is Carlos hard at work on the bathroom.  He worries me when he says he is going to do the plumbing and electrical himself....The last plumbing I remember him doing resulted in a toilet exploding....didn't think that was possible? well it is!



Here is from the sonogram last week.  tough to see, but it is her profile and full frontal facial view.  The dr. thought she was about 5 lbs 11oz which could mean she'll be about the same size as Diego.
