I thought I needed to catch up on my blog. As I have fallen behind. That's what happens though. Quite a lot has been going on since my last blog. I was put off work for 3 weeks, went to my parents and enjoyed a couple weeks there. I got back and couldn't get a note to be released back to work for 3 more weeks. I started work 2 weeks ago. I have since been to the doctor 3 times. The 2nd time she did an exam because I complained of a great amount of pain in the nether regions. Then she did and internal ultrasound and said I am in such discomfort because the baby is sitting/laying on my pubic bone maing every day activities painful.. i.e. walking. She said I was good that the cervix was not thinning out. I got a tentative date for my surgery. WHAOOO!! I am penciled in for the 19th of December. Because of my previous problems they are doing it at 37 weeks. So back to work for 2 weeks and I had to call off 2 times and went home early once. What is wrong with me?? I am sick half the week and just ok the rest. I had my doctor's appointment today and we discussed everything that I have been experiencing. The major pain when walking and doing anything that involves movement of the lower body, my hands hurt like i have arthritis, I have a cold (apparently not good when pregnant), I am very tired, weak and have bouts of a fast heart beat, and others. TSK TSK!! I could hear in her head. She doesn't like them working me the hours I do, she doesn;t like that I have a cold, she doesn't like that i feel weak and have to sit down a lot (even at a store) and everything else. So what is the outcome of my visit today? Well I am off work again until Monday which is better than what she said, she wanted me off for 10 days. She wants me in tomorrow to get more blood work and a urinalysis sone, schedule and appt for an ultrasound to check the weight of the baby and the fluid, get fitted for a pregnancy brace, and make an appt with her.
Why did I go back to work you ask? Why did I go back to work I ask? I wanted to get out of the house, live on cloud 9 thinking I can do it, get Rylie back to her friends, have adult conversation. I don't know really. I love my job and hate to call off, leave early or get a doc note to be off for so many days. Why not quit? Well I am sure eventually I am going to have to. If a position doesnt come open after the baby then yes I will quit. I have already talked with my bosses and they are willing to work with me on all this. Unfortunately... they are expecting me at 10 am tomorrow and well I will be there to hand in my note.
So.. in 1 month from today (unless it changes from now till then) we will have our little girl. Oh and by the way.. Yes John's leave did get changed so he should be here by the 18th at the latest. And YES I am very nervous and each day it gets closer and closer. Yes I am scared. Who actually would opt to be cut open after having it before? Why in the world are all these people wanting a C-Section done? I don't think my doctor would want me to go VBAC given my prior problems. I will be secure knowing that John will be there. And if he can't get there... MOMMY!!!!
Ok so that's about it. I will ppost more when I get results back from the doctor.
