Plans change...
Things certainly change quickly when you are in the business of making babies!
My OB has said he doesn't like the results of the ultrasound on Wednesday & instead of going for another scan this Wednesday coming, he has decided to deliver the baby.
However it's not all as simple as just going in & having a baby.
He sent me back for another CTG on Friday & with some strict instructions to then go home for the weekend & rest up! No partying, no misbehaving!
Monday I'm being admitted for two days of steroids & of course because I have Gestational Diabetes I have to go onto an insulin infusion drip & have my blood sugar level tested every hour for two days...ugh! Soooooo not looking forward to that!
But Wednesday is THE day! We are booked in for a c-section on Wednesday morning @ 9am. I'll be 37 weeks pregnant.
I can't quite wrap my head around it all & of course there's that awful feeling in my gut of why is the baby so small? What the hell is going on. I guess we wont know until the baby is delivered. It feels surreal. It feels scary. It feels still...out of my control!
I spent the day making sure my little family are all organized & prepared for me being gone for a week or more. There's seemed to be lots of little things to do...but think they are now all done.
Tomorrow is my last day at home..Mothers Day! How cool is that? I'm looking forward to it & just chilling out while I pack the rest of my things...including some over night things for Mark so he can stay in hospital with me & our newest munchkin on Wednesday night.
Not much else to say on the matter really. I'm feeling excited, but at the same time I'm uber anxious, super nervous & a lot scared. I wish I knew everything was going to be ok so I could just chill out for the 2 days in hospital before the big day, it's soooo going to drag!
Stay tuned....
Wow Megan, that's huge news! Well done to you for making it to 37 weeks. What a mammoth effort it's been for you. I really hope that Wednesday is a magical and happy day for your family and that all the news is wonderful news. Fingers crossed the ultrasound size estimates are just plain wrong and you've got a chubba on board. I hope you have a lovely Mothers Day at home tomorrow and get some good rest under your belt. Can't wait to see the pics and meet the newest Morrison :D xx
