Random thoughts...

I seem to have a lot to blog about and chances are nothing is connected so for now here are some random thoughts!

1. I did end up going to the dr on friday and I got some nice antibiotics for a sinus infection. This was after he felt the need to tap on my sinuses and ask if he hurt...he could have asked where it hurt first!

2. I have horse pills to take...for those of you that don't know I don't take pills well AT ALL! Even breaking them in half is a struggle...so I will go from taking these to take pain meds on monday after a c/s. BUT I do love my ob for saying I don't have to take the last day of pills as I'm having the surgery.

3. Oh yes...baby will be arriving on Monday around 11 am. Totally scared and nervous! I try not to think about it, but also need to take the time to come to terms with not having my vbac. I have a stubborn baby..

4. If you thought being preg was uncomfortable at the end, try having a head in your ribs or between them...its VERY uncomfortable.

5. I'm a little sad to think that Avery's world is about to be turned upside down next week...I know he will adjust and be a great big brother but I'll miss the little moments with him! Hopefully I will still get a few!

6. As I drove up to the hospital yesterday he asked for the baby...guess we've gone there a lot! I said we would be getting the baby next week so at least there is a connection!

7. A certain family member is driving me crazy...enough said!

8. I will be running around like a mad woman this weekend so if I'm MIA you know why! So much to do, so little time! I also want to spend a day with my boy but not sure if that will happen now!

9. I will probably be MIA until at least thurs, dr said I could stay til friday if I wanted the extra "vacation". I know last time being in the hospital was NO vacation, but Keith said it may be different this time...different hospital, different staff.

10. I really DON'T want to stay at the hospital by myself...it seems like a scary place to me and will miss sleeping with my husband. It can't be worse than the c/s right?

11. I am nervous about the spinal and wish my husband could be in there and hold my hand...I guess I'll just squeeze the nurses hand really hard!

12. The dr did say Keith can watch and take all the pics he wants during the c/s. I told him I wanted some bloody ones! Hey if I can't have a "normal" birth I would like to see my child messy..hehe. Keith said he can see what he can do, but he doesn't want to see them cutting me!

13. I am sad that neither of us will ever experience the way birth is supposed to be...but it is in the best interest of me and baby.

14. I hope NO ONE announces what we are having so Keith can do it! He deserves to be part of the experience too! I am looking forward to that moment and I may even cry! Hopefully I won't be as drugged up as last time.

15. what is with the random people calling my house today and NOT leaving a voicemail so I know who you are? (i don't answer if i don't know you!)

I hope things go smoothly for you this time around. Richard was with me when I got my spinal done. he was there for the whole prep until I was taken to the o/r and caught up with me again right after I was draped.

I can't wait to see this little one!

rest and relax this weekend... try to spend as much time with Avery as you can

Good luck with everything! If possible have someone call me or email, I don't care who, to just let me know you're ok. Love you lots!

Good luck on Monday! I don't know if there is a way that having a baby is supposed to be done. I pretty much had Emily naturally (epidural went up, not down so my arms went numb and I still felt everything) and it was the worst experience of my life. I didn't even want to hold her for hours after--I think that I was in shock. It's a round about way of saying there isn't a normal way, a right or wrong way, or a more fulfilling way to have a baby, just as long as the baby is healthy.

I also hate people who don't leave voicemail!
