I can hardly believe this is our last day as a family of three! In so many ways I'm going to miss all my special one on one time with James but I really hope he loves having a sibling. And it's so hard to imagine loving someone else as much as I love him! But I am very excited to finally see this little girl and hold her and caress her and gaze into her eyes. Will she look like James or totally different? Will she have hair and if so, what color? How big will her hands and feet be? What will her personality be like? The last 10 months will finally reach their peak tomorrow as we finally finally get to meet our little baby girl!
The only thing I'm really sad about is having a repeat c-section-- don't like the idea of taking her out early (at least it's only 5 days before her due date) just because her older brother had to be born that way and I also don't look forward to the recovery even though I had a fairly easy time last time. Would just be nice not to need pain killers and be recovering from major abdominal surgery. And I must admit some guilt in this whole process. I know a lot of women who fight for the VBAC. Should I have fought more even though I had such a positive eperience the first time around? All I can think is the risk of having a uterine rupture during a VBAC is about the same risk as having a baby with a knot in the cord (1% chance), both are life threatening and I've already fulfilled one of those so maybe I shouldn't tempt fate... Guess I'm just a little gun shy after last time... just hope it's the right choice and everything goes well!

Congrats and we miss you guys soo much! Can't wait to see the new little one :)
Hi Ellen! I found your blog through your facebook cuz I was looking at your info page. My dad is an architect in Newport Beach and when I told him about you he wanted to know where you were working. Pretty darn cool to see that you and your hubby have your own design firm! The projects you've listed on your site are amazing!
Congratulations on your new precious baby girl. I bet you're ridiculously excited. Your little boy is just the cutest kid ever. Our son will be about the same age! Anyway, I will have to take our little guy to some of the fun places you've discovered on the central coast for kids - like that railroad place in AG? So fun!
Ellen,
She's here!! YEAH! You were right not to push for the VBAC. It was only a year after James birth before you were pregnant and the risk was just to high to take for you or Cate! And now she's here! And so beautiful! What a wonderful family you have! Congrats, Daddy's little girl will have him wrapped around his finger in no time! Hugs to big brother James!
Love, E
Congratulations! Excited to see little Katherine!
Wow! Little Katharine should be here by now! Excited for photos and the updates.
