Here We Are...

We are getting a baby boy tonight! He will arrive via c-section in a couple of hours, so I have been tying up all the loose ends around here to prep for his arrival (mostly just finishing the luggage packing for me and the kids).

Everyone has been asking me if I am disappointed that it'll be a c-section, and not a regular birth like I was hoping. The short answer is "Yes." When the doctor finished giving us all his assessments on what the lack of progress was looking like, I asked for some time to talk with Andrew. As soon as the doctor walked out and shut the door, I burst into tears. I just needed a few minutes to re-adjust my reality perception from what I hoping, to what was actually possible.

I am still a little emotional about our decision, but given all the factors (which I won't go into right now), it is the best decision for our baby, and for me.

At the moment, I am growing excited with the anticipation of meeting our son in just a couple of hours! Who does he look like? What color hair does he have, and what color are his eyes? In just a little bit, I will know!!!

And his name, is:

Aero Stuart Makinson

I know you're so busy with little Aero and of course A&D too!! Just wanted to say hello - I miss you and I hope the C went well. When you settle into a routine and have a spare minute - call me - cuz I'm bursting with wanting to know about all things Aero! Oh and I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to Andrew! How amazing that Aero arrived just in time for Andrew to have 3 little ones to be the proud daddy of today. :)
