Mackenzie will be a big sis soon!!!!

Well, it's finally April!!! This pregnancy has flown by, but now that we are getting closer to the end, it is really dragging!!!! I am getting so much bigger and uncomfortable, so it has been really hard taking care of a 13 month old. I have basically forgotten what sleep feels like. I am either up with Mackenzie, or I am up every 5 to 10 minutes going to the bathroom. Oh well. I guess this is God's way of getting me ready to be up all night with Mary Kathryn. I am very nervous about how things will be with two babies, but I don't think God would give me something I can't handle. Luckily, I have great family and friends who will be there for us. I hope Mackenzie is too young to be jealous of the new baby, but I do think it will be a big change for her. She is used to getting all the attention, so we are going to have to make sure she feels very special during this transition. I am really hoping it goes smoothly. I had an interesting OB appointment last week. I requested an ultrasound so we could make sure Mary Kate is head down since Mackenzie was Breech. She is head down, however, she is already measuring 7 pounds, 4 ounces!!!!!!!!! WHAT??!!!! That is what Mackenzie weighed at birth. The ultrasound tech said it could be inaccurate by a point in either direction, so she could weigh 6 pounds, 4 ounces or she could even be 8 pounds, 4 ounces. The doctor seemed a little shocked and wants to keep close watch on this. He says he will definately induce and deliver before my due date if she continues to grow at this pace. I guess I will know more in the next few weeks, but due to the pelvic pressure I am having and horrible Braxton Hicks pains, my guess is I will not make it to April 30th. We shall see!!!! We are getting excited. Let's hope all goes well and that I don't have a panic attack. HAHAHA! We will keep all of you posted! : )
