Last day of work

Can't believe it's already here! I was so happy this morning waking up for the last time to an alarm at 4:30am. A baby alarm will be in the near future but I have a few days to relax at home and get ready for the craziness to come.
Tomorrow are parent/teacher conferences for Selena's school and then Friday Joe and I get to go to the assembly for Selena winning Student of the Month. We are so excited for Joe's mom to come up Friday as she will be watching the girls for the week. Joe has his work holiday party on Friday night so we will steal some time together without the kiddos and then Saturday I think we may go out to a movie. FUN TIMES AHEAD! I had my last Dr visit and ultrasound on Monday. My blood pressure was higher than normal for me so they had a few concerns and hooked me up to the non-stress test. Baby was not moving much and heart was not getting high enough when it did move so they sent me for an ultrasound. Baby looked great, about 8lbs they think. I know it could be off a lb or so but this baby just feels pretty big so 8lbs sounds about right. They are thinking 8lbs 5oz or so by the big day. Selena was 7 lbs 13oz and 10 days late and Natalia was 6 lbs 4oz and 6 days early so already I know this is the biggest baby.
Natalia calls the baby Pam because she has a doll named Pam. I just hope it doesn't break her heart when we don't actually name the baby Pam. She tells everyone that it's a girl named Pam. Pam by the way, it totally not even on the list...
I think Selena is about ready. Time seems to drag by when you are 5 and really don't have much concept for weeks/months. Now that it's less than a week away it's easier for her to understand.
Both girls will be at the hospital Monday to meet their new sibling as we decided to pull Selena out of school for the day. And with a gift for each of them from the baby I'm sure they will welcome him/her to the family. Each girl also picked up a gift for the baby thanks to Joe. What a great dad he is!
So for now I'm signing off until after the birth. I'll post on Facebook as soon as anything exciting happens so most likely Monday afternoon. C-section is at 7:30am Monday. I'm accepting donations of vodka and Starbucks...
3 kids, what were we thinking!

Thanksgiving, yummy!


Last time as a family of 4!
