Wow so I've skipped the whole month of March. *oops* so much has gone on in the past couple months. We had a scare over Jaxon's gender. At our 22 week scan he looked more like a girl than a boy, but we couldn't tell for sure. Luckily enough we had another level 2 scan at 30 weeks and he is for sure a boy! He also looks so much like his big brother Brodie! Looking at the pictures it's almost like having the same baby over again. Guess this explains the dream I had back in the first trimester when I gave birth to a smaller version of Brodie.
Other than that life has been pretty good. Everything is falling into place as it should. We're just about ready for Jax to be here. We still need to get his bassinet and a couple cases of disposable inserts for his diapers, along with a few basics. All his clothes are washed and now put away. We even got him a brand new carseat. It's the Graco SmartSeat. I'm pretty sure it's the best $300 we've ever spent. I know I'll never need to buy him another carseat. This one grows with him and it's so awesome! I've had a lot of fun playing with it the past few days.
We're also in the market to buy our first house! How exciting! Tho so far none of the houses we've looked at really fit our needs or likes. We decided to opt for buying land and a manufactured home. We found a gorgeous singlewide that is perfect! We also found 3.6 acres of land outside of town that we're hoping to be able to purchase!
I still can't believe that we only have 6 weeks left until my scheduled c-section! It's so exciting thinking we're that close to the end! I've had a hard time sleeping lately though there's so much on my mind. Our hospital usually takes the baby away to the nursery after birth and while the mother is being stitched up and sent to recovery for an hour. I'm hoping to change that with this delivery. Even if I have to pitch a fit. I don't know what makes me any different than a mother who gives birth naturally. I mean they get to keep their newborns with them the whole time. It's not fair to me just because a doctor says I have to have a repeat c-section! Well phooey on them! I feel I deserve equal treatment! I want them to clean Jax up in the OR and allow my mother who will be in surgery with me to hold him. When I get sent to recovery then I want Jeff to come in and be with me and the baby until we get moved to our room on the 2nd floor! I don't think it's too much to ask. I know for a fact through research that hospitals in other towns allow this. I want to be able to bond and breastfeed my baby right away. Something I wasn't able to do with either of my other boys, all because some doctor jumped the gun and said I have to have a c-section with my first son.
Sorry that turned into a bit of a rant, but it's something I'm just so passionate about!
Well I'm pretty sure that's the rundown of what's been going on in the Lawson household.
and for fun, pictures of my beautiful boys! <3
