We have been getting ready for Baby Reece's arrival. On Saturday Nov 7 Grady went to the Tyke Hyke class at Women's Hospital it is a Sibling Preparation for 3 year olds. He learned how to hold the baby, help change a diaper, feed & burb the baby and saw pictures of the umbilical cord and that it was normal and would come off and become a belly button just like his. He also learned that he needs to wash his hands before helping with the baby. Then we went on a tour of the hospital to see where Mom, Dad and Baby Reece were going to stay, Grady paid special attention to the tour so he can show Grand-maw where to go when they come to see us.
These are some pictures of Baby Reece from our 36week visit. They thought the baby was about 6lbs then and the Dr thinks the baby will be 8lbs at birth. We will see!!
This is me at 38weeks 3days!!
We have a scheduled C-section for Monday Nov 16!! I made a countdown chain for Grady since he has been telling people the baby will be here in a couple weeks. So now every morning he takes off a link and we see how many days we have left.
We are taking them off from the bottom up, the first orange link is Monday when Baby Reece will be born. Then the second orange link is when Mom, Dad and Baby Reece will be coming home. My mom will be watching Grady at our house Monday - Wednesday and Wednesday night till we get home on Thursday Keith's Parent's and sister are going to stay with Grady.
We have a busy family fun weekend planned for this weekend for our last weekend as a family of 3.
I am so excited for all of you. You look great!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait take care!
I love the paper chain idea. I'm glad Grady is so ready for this, well as much as he possibly can be. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm sad I won't be able to meet Reece until Christmas, but such is life! :) I've been praying for you and Reece for a long time now for a healthy baby and mama.
