I am now 36 weeks and baby is scheduled to be delivered via c-section 3 weeks from today!! It is coming up so fast... A few months ago I was so anxious for August to get here, but now that it is closer, I'm not in such a hurry. I think for me the biggest thing that is looming in my brain is "The Needle"... Nothing else really bothers me about a c-section, not the thought of what they are doing, the recovery etc. It is the getting numb that I don't like.. Sitting in the OR hunched over waiting for that pressure of the needle going in. AND without my hubby to hold me up.. I just pray it goes as well as with Konner when I seriously did NOT feel it at all!!! So if you all want to know something specific to pray about for me, there you have it!! (Along with calm nerves, healthy baby etc etc... )
While we were down for the West Reunion I asked my SIL, Jen, of
Windy Ridge to snap a few Baby Bump pictures, so here they are:
P.S. The shirt I am wearing in the last two pictures is an Eden's Bouquet design.. It was a sample that Jen gave me. So soft and comfy!!
I have never had the Needle so why can't your husband hold you?
ReplyDeletePat, since it is a surgery he can't come in to the OR until I am all numb and prepped.. I have to walk in there alone while he has to wait outside.. I have had epidurals with my "natural" births and he could be there for that, so I know the difference and it isn't fun..
DeleteI HATE the needle, which is part of the reason I do not want epidurals, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Last time, it was worth it, at least that is how I felt at the time, lol. Obiviously you don't have a choice anyway. I will say a prayer for you to have calm nerves and that the needle/pressure/etc is not bad at all! I love that first picture, it turned out great! The EB shirt is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThose are great pictures, thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see pictures of the baby!
ReplyDeleteCute Baby Bump! Praying all goes well for mama & baby!
