C-SECTION SCHEDULED FOR 11/27/09 at 10am

Chloe is still frank breech and we have elected not to have external cephalic version (ECV) where the doctor tries to turn her so C-Sections is set for November 27at 10 am.

Chloe has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp so we will soon be able to test when we hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.

Hopefully Chloe will have blue eyes. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

A last minute to do list is now underway!
