38 Weeks and Sunflower's Arrival

The first and most exciting news is that Sarah and David welcomed Ezra's little brother, Micah Amir, early this morning. Knowing another rainbow baby has made it safely into the world is a wonderful feeling and my heart is simply leaping for Micah's mama and daddy.

My 38 week OB appointment today was entirely uneventful. No change at all from last week and Dr. M. said she'd be surprised if Buggy comes before his scheduled c-section date. Apparently all that bedrest really scared my cervix into behaving and while 80% effaced, it's still very posterior and not dilated one little, teensy bit.

Any hint of disappointment that things aren't progressing quickly faded as I realized that this scenario is truly amazing. A chunky and full-term Buggy is all we ever hoped for and it seems it's what we might get. Now to think of ways to fill the next 12 days...

It truly warms my heart to hear about other rainbow babies' safe arrival. It just makes me hopeful that that my little one will be here with us soon too.

A full-term buggy would be wonderful...even though I know you'd probably would love to hold him on your arms already. I am already counting the days and keep on telling my little peanut to make his entrance at least a few days early.

Happy New Year.

So glad to hear the news of Ezra's baby brother's safe arrival.

And it's also great that Buggy is nice and comfortable inside his home, for now. I'm echoing Laura's sentiments about hearts all over the country wishing him a safe arrival, when the time is right.

Happy New Year to you and Scott & Scout.
