I had a doctor appointment this week and she said everything looks good to go. And that's when it hit me. WAIT. WHAT?
It can't be time yet. I'm not ready.
I have a condition where my blood platelets are much lower than normal. This basically means I can't have an epidural during labor. If I were to have one, it would put me at great risk of becoming paralyzed. Also my blood won't clot as well and I bruise easier. I find out this week exactly how bad my case is.
I haven't had an epidural yet, so I think it's really no big deal.
The big deal for me is that we could be bringing a baby home any time and I have nothing ready! That's it. I've got to go unpack some boxes. This baby has to wear something!
oh my gosh!!! You poor thing, not being able to have an epidural!!! YOu are truly amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the time has flown by, since you already had 2 kids and are trying to maintain things without a hubby! Good luck!!! Everything will fall into place!
I can't believe baby girl is almost here, this is exciting. Love the photo blog, very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow!! It sure sneaks up on you, doesn't it?! You'll be great and once you hold that baby in your arms everything will fall into place, just like Laura said!
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know you were that close. Good luck with it all. You're more woman than I am to have to go with out an epidural! YOU CAN DO IT!!
ReplyDeleteGirl I know how you feel...Jadan was 2 weeks early! Love the photo blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you are going to have 3 kids. You are one amazing woman!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already time! Hope everything goes well. Let us know when she gets here!!
ReplyDeleteHey, I miss all the pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteok, i have been watching closely for some announcement or another and can't wait to hear about the baby. good luck to you and trevor too. :)
ReplyDeleteUgh, I had that same blood platelet problem when I had Maya. They had to keep drawing blood after I delievered and checking my levels cuz they were all jacked up. I think it was because I had preeclampsia with her. I feel your pain!
