...to doctor Doom! I had my final appointment with him yesterday. I can't even begin to describe how freeing it is to know I don't have to go back there. (maybe ever? or maybe at least for a few months? um...we'll open that can of worms later.)
BabyLo looks good. He is all about the chunk at this point and looks quite cramped in there. His weight is measuring between 7 pounds 10 ounces to 7 pounds 14 ounces (she measured several times). The tech said she'd expect him to be somewhere between 8.5 and 9ish pounds if he stays put until my c-section.
Jeez. That makes me somewhat more relieved about the c-section. Having something that big come out of my vagina makes me want to squeeze my legs shut and never open them again. Lol.
There was no sign of the PACs on the u/s. Yay!
Kidney looked better and was smaller than it has been. Yay!
If you can believe it, my cervix still looked long and closed. Yay!
Whew. Maybe, just maybe this guy will be alright when he gets here. (oh, please!)

Right after Doom, I had to go get Sh.awn for his opthamologist appointment. After all we've tried, it looks like Sh.awn is headed for strabismus surgery in the near future. We had thought that it was only his right eye turning in on occasion, but after the examination it was clear that both eyes turn in. The eye that turns in essentially shuts off so his vision doesn't blur when he looks at things, so it is important to get this fixed.
The good news is that his sight does not seem to be affected at this point. (He was so cute when the dr was covering his eyes and looking into them. The dr would hold up a cover to one eye so he could exam the other and Sh.awn would yell out, "It's dark in here, mommy! Turn on the lights!" Made me laugh so hard.)
I know what this surgery is like because we've already been through it with Ja.son. The worst part was recovering from the anesthesia. (Ja.son became a demon child!)
Not excited about this in the least.
I am so over surgeries, especially for little Sh.awn.
Blah. I don't even want to count what number of surgery this would make for us.

Nothing decided on for names (actually not even close), but here are some contenders:
Ja.ckson
Ja.xson
Re.ese
Fe.stus (Is.aac has taken to calling him this. Over my dead body is all I have to say.)
Still a lot of negotiation in our future...

I did add a 36 week photo to the BabyLo page in case you're curious.

Ugh to more surgery.
Glad everything else is going well though.
Great news about baby Lo, dr. doom, and your cervix!!
Well no more Dr. Doom until the next pregnancy :) hee hee
SO HAPPY TO SAY FAREWELL to that guy.
And how wonderful that the baby has turned a corner on all of his issues. YAY !
Sorry about the eye surgery. Poor little guy. He's such a strong kid.
Yay for big, chunky babies.
Hope Shawn's surgery goes smoothly.
And, a definite NO to Festus.
I like Re.ese the best. We considered it for this baby but decided on something else, mostly because the husband didn't 100% love it. He's a poopy head.
I wanted my son to be a chunky solid baby, but he was and still is a string bean.
I love the first few names, how do you pronounce the last one?
Is.aac calls him Fess-tuss. He knows of someone with that name and thinks it's unique. Um, it is, but no.
I vote for Jackson. Can't wait to meet Little Lo!
Sorry about the upcoming surgery. I had strabismus surgery at 18 mos. Of course, I don't remember a thing. It's much more traumatic for the parents.
Chunky babies ROCK!
Sorry poor Shawn is going to have to do another surgery. Ugh.
I Have a friend that named her kid Reese, but she spelled it Reece, to keep down the candy confusion.
