Jacob the Easter Bunny?

Through my many ultrasounds Jacob has been holding on strong.  His heart rate has not gone below 80 since the scare we had at the Obstetrician's last week.  The nurses think he has a full head of hair, because of what they can see on the ultrasound.  Georgia had a full head of almost black hair when she was born, and now she's blonde...Maybe Jacob will take after his sister in more ways than just having her lips and nose :)

It is now 7 days until we are scheduled to leave for Toronto.  7 short short days.  Jon and I are wishing for more time, as the past few weeks have flown by incredibly quickly.  All the major things on our to do list are done - the bags are packed, we have applied for EI, the letter of consent to travel for Georgia has been notarized, and so on.  But we are not ready - not really.  Is it possible to ever be ready for this journey? Mentally, I don't think so.  Tomorrow we are going to be visiting the paediatric cardiologist's clinic where Jacob and I will be spending a lot of time when he gets home.

And in other news, we now have a birth plan - of sorts.  If all holds stable between now and 38 weeks, I will be induced on April 2nd.  That is Easter Tuesday - the cardiologist called the baby "Jacob the Easter Bunny" when she gave us this news.  By that time he should be a good enough size to be a safe candidate for his surgery.  It's a little thing, as I know full well how easily plans can fall through, but it is giving Jon and I some relief to have a "plan" in place despite all the uncertainty.  Here's to the last 7 days at home...I am really going to miss this place and all the people/animals in it!
