So it appears our little boy is anxious to meet us. I had finally adjusted to the fact that he was going to be 2 weeks early giving me about 4 weeks to prepare. Then on Tuesday I started to bled. My doctors had told me this could happen so I wasn't shocked. They had also told me to go right to Our Lady of Lourdes and that the hospital would expect me and know all about my case. I have to say while the facilities at Lourdes leave something to be desired the people were awesome. When I walked in they knew exactly who I was and why I was there. Everyone from the Lady who cleaned the bed next to mine to the doctor (whom I'd never meet) was so sweet and wonderful that I actually look forward to seeing them again:)
The seeing them again is, however, coming much sooner than I expected. My doctors decided that the best thing for my and the babies health was to give me sterroids for his lungs (which they did in the hospital) and plan the C-Section for the 36 week mark, May 5th (that's right Cinco de Mayo!)
While I am so excited to meet this little trouble maker I am no where near ready! I now have 10 days to get my home, and self ready. Can I get AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Normally I am the kind of person who will throw myself into cleaning and preparing in the days before my due date. This time I face a delicate balance of getting it all done without over doing it and sending myself back to the hospital. So what can you my friends and loyal readers do? 1. PRAY: for him, for me, for all of us. 2. If you happen to have an extra Merry Maid laying around (which frankly is weird but whatever) send her my way!
This may be my last post until after the baby is born!!!!!
PS. We have a name (we think) but we figure at this point we might as well keep you in suspense until May 5th;)
