The good
*I am scheduled to be induced on the 16th. He said that he won't induce me from "nothing", as there is a greater risk of C-section if I haven't progressed at all. Well today I am 4 weeks away from my actual due date and I am 2cm. Not much, but it's something right? He still hasn't officially scheduled the induction though.
The Bad
(I guess this isn't that bad, it needs to be done, but the process sucks)
*Brian had his appointment with Dr. Swanson Wednesday and scheduled his second hip surgery...which leads me to:
The Ugly
*He scheduled it for May 30th. That's right folks 1 week after my due date. Now I am seriously praying that I for sure get the induction on the 16th. That at least will give me two weeks to heal somewhat. It's like being a single parent when he is on crutches...and this time Ill have a newborn. It's been kind of a sore subject with us lately...he get irritated for me wanting him to put it off when he's in pain. And I get irritated for him not giving me more time to "get it together" before he is out of commission. It's not a fight or anything, just this cloud hanging over me because I get SOOOOO stressed out thinking about it. There is no right or wrong, it is what it is.
I know the days will still pass and we will get through it all, it still makes me stress though. Thank God my Mom will be here for a week, so I can just sit on my butt the first week and heal.
OK - enough whining. In other news I made PW's oatmeal cookies (used raisins instead of nuts) and they were delish. Brian's not a fan of oatmeal cookies, but he even liked these. Blogger won't let me upload pictures today...but trust me, they were beautiful and the girls looked very cute licking the beaters :o)
AND
Ellie went all day yesterday without and accident. Although I did put a pull-up on her for her nap. She held her #2 all day though, so I don't expect today to go as smooth. Plus we have to actually leave the house today, so that won't help. (we stayed home all day yesterday and didn't even shower till 3:00....The girls thought it was so funny, I enjoyed just relaxing for half the day while they played)
i hope everything works out for you so that things go smoothly these next few weeks :)
ReplyDeleteCrazy times ahead for you that is for sure.. but as you said, you will make it through and I hope it isn't too stressful.
ReplyDeletewe'll keep our fingers crossed that it's no later than the 16th. just be happy you'll have your mom with you for an entire week. that will be nice.
ReplyDeletei'm sure other people would be willing to come help you out for a while. I bet my mom would come up for a while and I would come up but I don't know if I will be help considering I have a baby too. that doesn't like to nap lol. her crying will probably stress you out more lol
ReplyDeleteoooh and not to mention everyone's germs around your baby. you'll have to spray them down w/ lysol or something lol
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer. I would come and clean and play with the girls for you :)
ReplyDeleteI know everything will work out for you guys. hang in there.
