Baby FAQs!
Hello, blog world!
I'm getting lots of baby questions, so I thought I'd just post them.
Here are my FAQ's and answers....
1) When are you due? Technically, my due date (40 weeks) isn't until March 13th. However, they plan to induce me early. We're looking at the first week or so in March.
2) How far along are you? I'm 31 1/2 weeks along.
3) How are you feeling? Well, this 3rd pregnancy has been a rough one. I'm doing OK but not feeling great. I chase Keegan & Kennedy 13-14 hours/day, 7 days a week with little to no rest, so my body is paying for it. I have a lot of new symptoms with this pregnancy that I didn't have with the first two, but I'll spare you on the details.
4) What gender are you having? A girl!
5) Do you have a name for the baby? We have landed on a name but it's not set in concrete so we're still open minded. We are not telling the name until the baby's birth. Oh, and it does NOT start with the letter K!
6) Why are you being induced? I go into labor quickly and they want to make sure I'm at the hospital. With Keegan, I went from 4cm to fully dilated in about 10 minutes before it was time to push. With Kennedy I went from 5cm to fully dilated in just a few minutes and her head was coming out.... and then it was under 3 minutes of pushing, if that. My biggest fear is going into labor before my induction date. By the time I find a ride to the hospital and childcare.... I might end up giving birth in a McDonald's parking lot.
7) Are you blogging again? YES. For those of you who were blog readers when Kennedy was born, you know that Nathan & I live-blogged her birth (LINK) from the hospital. It was fun for us and made time go faster. We also loved getting your live comments. As long as we don't have technical difficulties, we will do the same for this baby. Anyone also want live video feed during delivery? No, wait... let's not.
Thanks for everyone who has asked or cared! I'll try to keep you updated as we get closer!
