Here we go......

So May has come and gone, and the little one I was hoping would have a May birthday has decided that she wants to come in June. Yes she is still happily poking and moving in the craziest positions all over my belly. I went to the doctor and we had quite a talk. With Jacks PDA closure coming up very fast he gave me the option of going in on Friday-tomorrow- and doing an amnio to check the babies lungs and if everything was good delivering her on Saturday. I am measuring small - which personally I'm like are you kidding, do you not see this HUGE beach ball stomach sticking straight out- but alas, he says I am measuring small so we need to do the needed steps to make sure everything is fine if we want to get the baby out right away.... Otherwise we can just wait and if she is not here by the 14th then for sure we would induce that day..... I for a few minutes felt as if I had to pick a child... Either I choose Jack and just focus on his procedure and make this baby- Marley- come out sooner than she would like, or I choose Marley and let her come when she comes knowing that if it comes to Jacks surgery and she is not here yet we would need to change his whole thing..... I was being pulled in a million different ways and started feeling very bad, Steve was at home with the kids and my doctor was waiting for an answer..... So we are waiting on Marley, the thought of an amnio at anytime during a pregnancy is not a good thing to me. I want Marley to come when she wants to come unless she waits until the 14th ; ) We moved Jacks procedure up to Monday so unless Marley decides she wants to come right away, we should be good.... Even if she does we still have the spot for Jack on Friday the 11th so we could still make sure he is taken care of sooner rather than later. I felt really good with this decision, I think it is the best for both kids and hopefully all will work out fine. I'm sure it will..
Now on to a little update on Jack I was right on with his weight he is a whopping 27lbs, but I was a little off on his height, he is 35inches!! On a typical childs chart he is in the 77th percentile for height, this is SOOOO CRAZY as everyone would always tell me don't expect to see big percentiles for your child, if they even make the charts, and here is our not so little man in the 77th percentile for height and the 54th percentile for weight. We all know where he gets this from of course - ME - so I should have known he would be off the charts!! I was so proud of him...it's a crazy thing as his pulmonary hypertension in his heart and lungs tells us that he should not be growing or gaining weight, I pray that is a sign that all we will have to do is close this hole and the issue will be resolved, oh that would be really good.... But there you have it, on a last side note, Elles last day of school was a few weeks ago and they had a circus day. Well I guess in one of their activities the kids were given those orange peanut foam-like candy things and she LOVED them, which makes me laugh as I would always cringe when my mother would get those, I never really took any sort of liking to them, and now I have a daughter that requests them : )
