I just got home from seeing my OB. I'm having a c-section on Jan. 9 because baby is going to be so big and I had a previous c-section. Anyway, today she said that I could actually go into labor at any time! And I'm close enough now that it would be fine if that happens (still would have a c-section, though.)

Well, I wouldn't mind having him sooner at all. So I hope I do go into labor. But not today or tomorrow. Today I have to get my older son from his dad. Then tomorrow we're going to have dinner at my dad's. Christmas day they're all going out to the sticks to my oldest step-brothers, but we're not going. Just staying home to rest and I'm off work on Monday, too. So, either Sunday or Monday would be perfect. LOL

Yay that is exciting!!! I'll be thinking of you all Christmas now, and wondering. Make sure you get lots of rest in on your days off. Can't wait till you are here with even bigger news. And I hope everything goes smoothly for you both as possible!!!

All three of my babies were in the 5 pound range. Ohh my how I miss how tiny they were. There is nothing that can beat the birth if a new life and getting to meet face to face.

Ohh dear I better go before I get pregnant from just typing about it.

Thanks everyone! I'm really ready to have this baby. I can barely even roll over in bed. LOL... I feel like a turtle. I really want to meet him.

I really, really wanted a Christmas baby. I know that is weird because most people hate Christmas birthdays. But the due date missed because it was Jan 12, then then when they realized he was huge they wanted him to come a little early, so it was Jan 9.

My boys were big, too. My oldest was 9 lbs 4 oz, and I had him natural. My youngest was 8 lbs 7 oz and he was stubborn and I had to have a c-section, which is why I have to have one now.
