Decisions, decisions.. I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that my big belly is housing what they believe as a normal sized baby girl: 7 LB 3 oz is the estimate.. so this leads me to think, hm.. maybe i should go for a vbac. So I cancelled my c-section day (may 8th) and rescheduled for the following week.. and in the meantime I'm hoping to go into labor on my own. the closer i get to my due date, the more worried i am that the baby will continue growing to be too big for a vbac. Noah was bigger than expected, therefore I needed a c-section...so that's the reason for the worry and decisions. I'm a little bit nervous about the whole delivery thing, but I have a great doctor. I'm sure all mothers can relate to the concern. I just hope it goes fast and I can have an epidural.. I remember those labor pains.:)
Noah has been such a charming little man lately.. I hope things don't change with the baby coming home. I know it'll be a big adjustment for him and for all of us. Lately he's been taking care of four teddy bears; feeding them breakfast when he eats, tucking them in to bed before he goes to bed, and reading them stories. Sometimes if he comes into our room at night, first he brings his mom and dad bear... throws them over Ben to me, then runs back to his room for the 'Noah bear' and baby bear. Comes into our room, throws them over, then runs back for his own blanket. I hope this taking care of the bears thing will continue when I'm taking care of the new baby. It's been a perfect incentive to take naps and to go to bed.. "shh, Noah.. your bears are sleeping".
He's also turned into the world's slowest eater.. becoming so possessive over his food. It takes him nearly an hour to finish his bowl of cereal, and even then it's not all gone. He wants to save whatever we were having for lunch or dinner either in tupperware or with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. crazy kid.
more posting when the baby arrives.. or sooner if that doesn't happen for another week or so.

good luck with everything whichever way she comes. As long as you and her are healthy, right?
we're excited to see her...keep us posted.
Not much longer, but those last few weeks seem so long. So exicting! Have you guys decided on a name yet?
We need to go play a little tennis. That will get things moving along!
I'm so excited for this little girl to come! It will be here before you know it (hopefully!) Good luck with everything.
I love hearing about what Noah is doing, it's so funny, and so alike to Addy too. I can't believe how soon your baby girl is coming!! I hope it all goes well. That's so tough to know what to do! Did you go into labor on your own with Noah? Well, keep me updated and good luck!
Im excited about a new post! Noah sounds like such a good kid and fun personality! I am excited to see baby number two:) Im sure he will do great if he is loving his bears so much. What a cute kid! I would still love to get together, but you are probably a little pushed for time now with the baby so close. Noah is more than welcome to come over and play if you ever need help. And I am sorry about the decisions on c-section, I remember all that, and I hated that decision, luckily the Dr. made it for me in the end because I had no choice, so dont worry it will all fall into place just fine! good luck!!
