TIME FOR AVA!!

Ok well I have started several posts about the rest of the Christmas parties and such, BUT I haven't and wont have time because *drum roll*

AVA IS COMING TOMORROW!

We went to the doctor today to get an ultrasound to check her head size. Why? She hasn't dropped AT ALL. She is SO high. The doctor thought maybe her head was just big and she couldn't fit haha
So we went in today and got the ultrasound done. As I'm sitting there watching her measure Ava's cute belly the tech goes "ooh, gestational diabetes?" and I just looked at her and said "uh, noo..., is she huge?" and yes, yes she is huge. The computer predicted her weight at 9lbs 15oz that is ONE OUNCE away from 10 pounds. Holy cow haha. She measured her head, legs, tummy, etc. Her abdomen measurement was 'off the chart' and couldn't even measure right! I can't wait to see how big it really is!
So with this news, we headed and saw the doctor who asked me 'what in the world i was doing' with growing a baby that big.  We had a long talk on what to do and the final decision is we are heading in tomorrow morning to get a c-section done. We will get there at 5:30 (yikes!) and get prepped and such and then around 7:45 Ava will be here!! AHH!
I cannot believe it! I'm SO excited. We came home and I am doing the rest of the laundry and cleaning and trying to finish the rest of the Thank You notes I still have left to do (these things always take me FOREVER).

I'M GOING TO BE A MOM TOMORROW! I think the thing I'm most looking forward to though is seeing Chad hold her :) Oh goodness it just warms my heart thinking about it.


AH!
