It is so insane to think that 5 days before this you were in my belly and Sabs couldnt fit her arms around me. The human body is nuts.

Sabi we have both resisted for nearly 10 months now. The time has come. I am walking around feeling like an elephant as each day beyond your due date passes. I only had a 1/2 glass…and then another half glass…then another- kidding!! Seriously half was enough after not having any for 10 months and it tasted goooooooooooood. Dada had a big ole beer and his reaction was the same. Now come on out before i start sending hard liquor down there (kidding)!!

Today is your due date that the Dr. predicted. The 14th was your date that the ultrasound predicted. The time has come little punk butt. With all the moving you do in there, can’t you just wiggle your way out so we can meet you!?! It is only 11:27am here so you can still make it on time. Love you (even as you kick me in the ribs right now).

Today we had our check up for sweet Sabi! Momma is 3 cm dilated and Sabi is looking great! Dr. Paer did a membrane sweep and hopefully that moves things along a bit quicker. Her head is looking like a normal size and she didn’t get any bigger which is good b/c she is now measuring at 9lbs. He actually pushed his head with his finger b/c she is so low down. This girl is ready to come out! Her umbilical cord is around her neck so we will monitor during labor to make sure it doesn’t cause any issue but overall it was a fantastic report and we are all so excited to meet our new addition!! Nana got to meet Dr. Paer and really liked him as well. Let’s get this show on the road. Mommy is cramping and def. nesting so hopefully these are all good signs.

In other news, Charles got a good report from the vet that he is blessed with parasites which is far better than the alternative colon problem or stomach cancer. He is on his first dose of antibiotic and hopefully by the time Sabi comes he will stop leaking anal nasties all over the house. Pooks and I just gave him a bath so he’ll smell all sweet for his new lil sis which I am sure he will be thrilled to meet- lol. We also got report that the rest of our gang are doing great back in ST. Betsy has been hanging with a doggy pal and Lulu is just being her sweet little kitty self. Today we ran into our neighbor from ST parking across from us at the mall in Escazu…randomness!! Ok that is all to report for now. Had a great italian lunch which would more than hold me over if lil Sabi decided to make an arrival tonight – just sayin.

Well today was possibly our last check up before we meet you, and Dr. Paer said you were ummm rather large! I was hoping you would be a little smaller than your 9lb 1oz sis but the sono says you are already about 8 1/2lbs and we still have a little over 2 weeks to go until due date! Luckily other than ginorms, you are looking perfectly healthy and your head is down. In fact he said you are so low that your head is like a cork in my pelvis and I prob won’t even know when my water breaks b/c your head is plugging up all the space. Clearly this is why you are sending shooting pains down my inner thigh and lower back. You are also kindly kicking me in my ribs like a little mad woman. Sophie loved seeing you on the screen and has been talking about you all night. She is convinced you ate too many mangoes and this is why you are so large. She also said she can hear your heart beat in my belly and apparently you are in her belly too and kicking. We love you soooo much and peeing every 5 minutes, getting kicked in the ribs, feeling like i have a brick about to fall out of me…is all worth it in the end! So far you have only blessed me with 22 extra lbs so at least if you are as ginorms as they say, you will take most of this weight with you when you enter the world. Now please just come maybe a week earlier (no sooner) and 1 push or 2…i mean if you’re hanging that low for this long the least you can do is kindly slip out? pleeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssssse. We love you so much and are so excited to meet you!!!
