I'm freezing right now! It's so cold in my house-60 degrees! I decided to turn on the heat for a little while and try to warm the place up until I turn it off again. I didn't want to have to turn the heat on just yet. I like the thought of saving money and freezing for it. haha To some extent anyways. I just couldn't do it anymore. Hopefully we'll have a warm up here soon. Not even sure what the temp is supposed to be today. In the 40s right now. I'll have to check the weather when I'm done typing.
I had a great time at my parents house this weekend. It was sad to leave but cool that the next time I see them I'll have my new little boy! That's exciting :0) At the same time though, I've been thinking about the pain that's going to happen to me in the next couple of weeks and that scares me. As long as it goes by fast, I know I'll be ok (afterwards anyways) It's scarier I think the second time around because you already know what it feels like and how bad it hurts. The first time, it's all a big mystery. Let's just hope everything goes smoothly and he comes out quick all on his own and I can skip any medications. If there would be an induction needed, not sure if I stick by my no-meds policy. I heard pitocin makes everything worse! I don't think I can handle worse. So we'll see what dear Cory has in mind for his Mommy.
Kayden woke up a grumpy mess this morning. I don't think he was ready to get up. He's much better now and I'm looking forward to nap time at 11 :-) I do love early nap time.
Jon goes for an MRI tomorrow at 6:30am for his shoulder. I really hope it's not too bad. He gets to go to bed at 9pm tonight so he gets all his sleep in. I don't think I will join him that early but I guess ya never know. I could be really tired then. Kayden will be going to sleep then at least. Maybe I'll have some Mommy alone time with the tv. haha (and I guess the dog)

Thats nice you got to go see your parents- last I saw on Facebook you were sad b/c you weren't going to get to go! Sounds like you had fun though! So are they thinking you're going to have Cory early, or is that just wishful thinking on your part? LOL. I hope it does go quickly for you when it comes. I think a lady at our church who just had her 10th child has you beat though- she had her 10 mins after she got into the hospital. She was almost born in the parking lot lol! Is Jon's shoulder hurt from one of the seizures? Hope the MRI goes well. Well I'm going to visit my mom and then going to my sister's house- its nice to have a day off! You better respond back to me! Haven't heard from you personally (as in not just a blog post!!!) in forever!! ttyl!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlmost there! So exciting!! Pray hard before labor & delivery. I never had pain...pressure and hard work but no pain (and I have a low pain tolerance). As for the induction, I'd recommend at least watching the trailer for "The Business of Being Born" and maybe even considering renting the DVD. It has a lot of good information that every pregnant woman needs to make wise choices at the hospital. You can watch the trailer @ http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/trailer.php
ReplyDeleteI know that Netflix has the DVD that you can rent or stream if you have a Netflix subscription. I don't recommend it for husbands and there will be times that you want to turn your head unless you're into watching other people birth, but mostly there's just a lot of good information, as I recall...it has been awhile since I've seen it.
Personally, the pit. does increase the intensity of the contractions...not just for you (unless you get drugged up) but especially for the baby. The intense contractions often cause fetal distress though I never personally had a problem with that. They induced my first three babies until I was better educated. I would have to say that the biggest difference I noticed would be the after effects of being induced...the pit is a synthetic hormone and I have never had such periods of intense sadness as I had after the shock of having pit. I didn't realize it until I had the most recent baby and refused to have pitocin. It was the first time that I did not have a severe struggle with sadness after a pregnancy. Anyway, your body may or may not react to the synthetic hormone that way, but it is a risk to keep in mind. It's not worth it for me. Just makes everything harder all the way around.
Anyway, just my two cents ;) Having a baby is a beautiful gift...don't let anyone take that away from you!
