January 9th it is!

I went to the doctor yesterday, and we found out that Sam will be born on Monday, January 9, 2012! After listening to and noticing the position of his heartbeat, Dr. Foster thought there was a possibility that he was breech. The ultrasound revealed that he was not breech, just big and comfortable! The tech estimated that he weighed approximately 8 pounds 11 ounces (plus or minus a pound) and was in the 90th percentile for size.  Based on these numbers and a few other minor issues, I decided to have a C-section. Dr. Foster left it up to me but mentioned the likelihood that I would have to have a C-section no matter what method I chose. We feel good about our decision.

Monday cannot come fast enough!!! Time is dragging, and I'm trying to stay busy. My sweet dad met me for lunch today. I am about to make a list of meaningless tasks and errands for me to run tomorrow.

January 9th will always be important to us for obvious reasons. But if Alabama wins the National Championship game on January 9, 2012, this day will be especially unforgettable for Spencer.
