So I finally got my hospital bag packed last night; well all
except the last minute items, like the camera and nook and stuff. My mom will be here Monday or Tuesday to help
me prepare this last week before I have the c-section. Just under two weeks and I will have a little
baby girl in my arms. I am excited and
quite frankly, ready for her to be here now rather than just waiting for wither
the c-section, active labor or my water to break. It is frustrating as this happened with my
son as well, I was on bed rest for months and then around 35 weeks, everything
stopped. To deal with the stress and anxiety
of trying to keep your unborn child healthy as you decide what you can and
cannot physically do and then to finally be ready to have the said baby and
have to wait is stressful. Or maybe that
just me, as I seem to always find the stress in every situation. I know she will come when the time is right,
I am just huge and uncomfortable and ready to have certain parts of my body
back to myself. See how selfish I can
be. J I
only take comfort in knowing most women feel this way towards the end of their
pregnancy.
I fear this may be my last pregnancy as every pregnancy has
been a big deal and high risk, making it more difficult and dangerous for both
me and the baby. Of course if we feel we
are not done, the sacrifice is well worth the blessing in the end, but this
entire pregnancy I have been feeling like two is our number, which to be honest
is a little disappointing as I always thought 3-5 kids would be more in our
range. Which still might happen as I would
still love to adopt. It was something
Josh and I discussed when we were first married, then again when we were told
we could not conceive and I feel like it is still something I would very much
like to do even though we have been blessed with fertility.
