And the Countdown begins......

I went back to the doctor yesterday, had another ultrasound done and got a tentative c-section date scheduled. Drumroll please.........MARCH 26th! Wow! That is soon. Don't you think that is soon? I mean, that is only 40 days away. But I guess if Noah could withstand 40 days and 40 nights of rain I can prepare for one little baby in 40 days. Right? I mean, I'm definitely no Noah here.
Anyway, Ann Elise is currently weighing in at 4 lbs. 11 oz. She is getting so big. The ultrasound tech even pointed out to us that she has HAIR!!!!! What?! My child has hair? There must be some mistake. My boys only had a little peach fuzz. Now that I am all excited about her having hair she will probably lose it before she even gets here, but that is okay, I love bald-headed babies just as much. She is lying in an awkward position known as the transverse position, meaning she is lying sideways with her legs beneath her and her feet next to her face so Dr. Slocum said it was kind of odd. (From what I have read, most transverse babies are feet/face up not down.) Hopefully she will turn to a more normal position before too much longer.
We took the boys with us this time and they were just amazed. Corbin recognized the spine and told the ultrasound tech what it was and Matthew chimed in that it looked like an electric eel. So I guess I have a little eel squirmming around in there.
