I went to the doctor yesterday and checked up on the progress with Baby #2. Good side- he healthy, big, and fit (beats me up with his never ending kicks and punches). Downside- I gained 9 pounds in 5 weeks! That is a bit too much and I was quite surprised. So, I am laying off the sweets for the remainder of my "confinement" (sob, sob, tear). Right now, I am the same size as I was the day I had Cairo. I still have 10 more weeks to go with this one!
My doctor said she would schedule my c-section for May 29th. I get the details when I go back in two weeks. Hopefully, she isn't already booked that morning or I'll have to wait until Monday, June 1st. May 29th is a great day- my baby(less than a year younger) cousin Katie has the same birthday... maybe her little girl will make an appearance on the same day (her due date is June 4th)or better, yet, maybe she will have her baby on MY birthday- June 10th. Fingers crossed.
Name. Naming a baby, for lack of a better word, sucks! Not that we would share the name before the baby is here anyway, but we haven't found anything yet. Erik and I were discussing it yesterday and we will probably come in with a list of names and make our decision before we leave the hospital with him. That way, we get to know him a little and see what name fits. So, if you are expecting a call with his stats and his name after he is born, don't be disappointed with the name #2... because that's what I'm calling him for now. If you ask Cairo what we should name him, she would say "Brother" or "Baby."
