The count-down has started

Everything's set! We're scheduled to go in 3/16 and deliver the newest addition to our family. I had been planning a VBAC, but that doesn't go very well with my husband's very type A personality. He knows what to expect with a c-section and couldn't stand the uncertainty of letting things happen the old fashioned way. So, today I finally switched our plans with our doc to a scheduled c-section. I'm a little sad, but it will also work out better with everyone's schedule I guess so that's a plus (everyone just better be there to pitch in with the twins as I won't be able to pick them up for six weeks!!! That means no diaper changes, baths, etc.). There was a little concern this past week about the baby and we thought that might change our delivery date, but today we had a sonogram to double check on everything and she's doing just fine. She looks healthy (very tall - already 21") and is still on the big side (guessing she weighs 6 lbs 10 oz, that will put her just over 8 lbs if she packs on half a pound a week like they typically do this last month!). There's so much I want to get done before she comes, as I know I won't get anything done once she's here. We still haven't even gotten the nursery finished (we don't even have sheets on the crib matress yet!). The count-down has started...
