Baby Week!

  Well, I can't believe it's already baby week and I have so much going on. Every day I have to be somewhere... Today I met with the anesthesiologist just to consult with him to get an idea of what will be going to happen. I had asked him and my OB about Reglan which I have heard can cause anxiety. (It is one of two medicines they give you to settle your stomach for surgery) That makes sense as the last two births I would be ok and all of a sudden start to panic and want to run down the hall away from the OR! So, anyway they both told me that I can just tell them I don't want it and I plan on doing that. Of course I am still nervous about the spinal, but if that is what had caused the severe panic before I am praying I can handle it this time! Would love your prayers too! I also got a small tour of the NICU just in case baby ends up there...
  The rest of this week I have another bpp ultrasound and have to have my blood drawn to be typed and screened so they can make sure they have enough blood and blood products available for me. I will be delivering in the main OR instead of the labor and delivery one as there they have fast access to everything just in case things go south... 
  Busy, busy, not to mention I have to bring Brandt in to get an abcessed tooth pulled and the Littles plus Laban are all getting colds again! If you could all just pray for me and my family this week it would be so appreciated! Thanks! Soon we will be meeting this little one who will complete our family!

  1. We will be praying! Reglan is horrible!!! I had it with all of my pregnancies and had BAD anxiety! my mom (with Liberty's pregnancy) told me to refuse it so I did. BUT then they gave it to me for my surgery before I knew what it was and I was SO anxious again :( Anyways we will be praying! Cant wait to meet baby!!! :):)

    1. I am so glad you told me about it! They both were awesome about it when I told them I think that's why I panic so bad. The anesthesiologist said they just have a protocol they follow, but I don't have to have it all. Nice to know, so thanks again!
