Wow - 6 months already!

Wow.. all I can say is welcome to 6 months in utero little one!

I can't believe we're at the 6 month mark already, and so far so good. A few freak outs about slowed down movement, a few days familiarizing myself with cankles, and well... sure, I'll admit, a few major mood swings... and here we are!

Next up? A few doctor's appointments, including our first with our OB to talk about my pending c-section. It amazes me people's reactions when I say that I'm going to be having a c-section. I get everything from "oh, I'm sorry to hear that" to "why would you do that? natural is better" to "really? let me tell you about what happened to me..." Okay folks, here's the deal.. I'm having a c-section because it's what's safest for me and our babe, given (a) I have colitis, and (b) I have a low lying placenta. That's all I needed to hear in order to make the decision.

I've also got my baby shower coming up. Is it possible to have a sophisticated yet fun shower? Already I've heard the threats of having to wear a hat made of bows, and playing all those shower games, and I'm trying not to run and hide. My mantra is becoming "Okay, breathe and accept its out of your control."

I'm also working on my registry lists. So far we're registered at...
www.westcoastkids.ca
www.tjkids.com

I'm sure there are obvious things I'm missing from the lists, but hey... this is all new to us, so unless I read it somewhere, or someone tells us, we don't know.

... "Okay, breathe and accept its out of your control."
