1. My fingers won't look like sausages
2. I will have at least SOME pants that fit
3. I can sleep on my tummy...kind of. Sleeping on your tummy after a c-section is kind of a process.
4. I will be getting little to no sleep
5. I will be all hopped up on fancy pain meds.
6. I will think I am "chunky" instead of ridiculously enormous.
7. My family will be here!
8. Poor little Reidster will have a dramatic life change, and will probably let me know his displeasure for the first little while!
9. I will once again feel the feeling of panic that an inconsolable newborn brings.
10. I will probably have more than one breakdown about breastfeeding.
11. I will be reminded of what an amazing father my husband is.
12. I will find out if this baby does indeed have an enormous nose as all of my ultrasounds have indicated.
13. I will revel in my ickiness as my grooming routine goes out the window.
14. Someone somewhere will inevitably tell me a horrific story about SIDS that will keep me up even while the baby is asleep.
15. I will remember why I said I would never do this again and then forget it almost as quickly as I remembered.
16. My new-found flexibility will sadly go away. Seriously, I am so flexible right now it's ridiculous! Now, if my big belly weren't in the way I'm sure I could touch my toes. (news flash: for me, that's flexibility, baby)
17. I won't look at myself in the mirror without clothes on for a VERY long time. (Not that I spend a lot of time doing this now...or ever, but you catch my drift. I hope.)
18. I will be angry with/discriminate against anyone that tries to get near me who also happens to be sick. Oh yes, I will.
19. I will come to my senses about my "exercise goals" that I have currently set for myself post-delivery. Good thing my awesome double jogger is all set up and raring to go in the garage. I will be out there hoofin' it just a couple of weeks after delivery. Or not. At all.
20. I will get to meet/hold/snuggle/feed/kiss etc. etc. my new little boy. I am so excited to welcome him into the family!
Two weeks and counting!!!
P.S. I went into the doctor for another ultrasound on Mon. and he estimated this little guy's weight at 7 1/2 pounds. So, since they are supposed to gain a pound a week in the last month I will let you do the math. (my c-section is scheduled for a week prior to my due date.)

So fun....I can't believe it is already almost here!
PS. Your toddler doesn't always have a negative reaction to a new baby, so maybe you'll get lucky and Reid will be fine or just have a minor case of jealousy at the most.
Hope all goes well.
Can't wait to see pictures.
Miss you!
so glad your almost there:) yeah I am sure things will be different for reid. he will love him in no time. Sorry I didn't catch up with you while I was on my super speedy trip to Utah. Carson and I were both super sick the whole time and of cource with family for the two days we were there. miss you guys and hope to you your cute family soon. good luck we are c-section buddies and I know what your feeling
Haha. Funny stuff! Can't wait to meet the little guy!
Man, you crack me up! I laugh out loud sometimes reading your posts! I'm excited for you and hope everything goes well!
Ok I want to see your sausage fingers. You are hilarious! So when is your next marathon? Tried to call, hopefully I can catch you before your baby comes.
CARLEE!!!
Oh man I can't believe that you are having another one! yaay! Are you guys still in Utah? Reid is soooo big! How long have you guys been gone? Oh man... we miss you in Young Women's!
Love Maren :)
Two weeks? That is crazy. And it's making me kind of freak out, because I'm only a few weeks after you!!
can't wait to meet the little guy--what fun!
Ack! I can't believe you're almost done, Carly!
And yes...me. Pink. Ick. I totally can rock it but I still HATE doing it! If you notice it's not like cotton candy pink. I comfort myself by knowing I own nothing actually really and truly PINK...just shades of pink. Like that rose color...I can almsot handle it. almost. Shhhhh...don't tell anyone!
Good luck this week. You are so funny, I remember why it was so fun to hang out with you. You are so good at explaining exactly how you feel...and everyone else who has ever been pregnant. I might be in town this weekend, I would have liked to stop by, but I can see you will have MUCH more important things going on. Congratulations. Laurie
