Baron Update. . .

Last Saturday we went to the hospital for a few hours to check on little baby Bear and he's doing great. I however am not allowed to hold or rough house with Jackson anymore until Bear arrives which is no fun.
Anyway, the nurse said Baron was big. No surprise there. She wasn't certain (and I don't put a lot of stock in what they think before the baby is born)but guessed sevenish pounds. So, with 4 weeks to go that only puts him at about 9 which is significantly smaller than Jackson! Also Baron is in the correct position and his head is "engaged." All really good signs for my (fingers crossed) VBAC. The other funny thing is that I have totally thought that Baron was really laid back because he didn't move as much as Jackson. Well, my biophysical (in depth sonogram to see how the little guy is doing) took more than twice as long as it should have due to the fact that he would not stop moving. So, either this guy is a wild man like Jack or the lady just didn't know what she was doing (both probably equally possible). Regardless I am so excited and loved getting to watch Baron wiggle around during my biophysical. And even better is the fact that we are working on the nursery this weekend. So we will be ready for little baby Bear whenever he arrives:)

He'll be here before we all know it! I'm so glad to hear that he is doing well. Laid-back or wild-man, either way I know he'll be sweet!

I'm so glad it all turned out okay and that is so exciting that he's already engaged -- definitely a good sign!
