Countdown to Baby
I thought I would have plenty of time to get ready for the baby after Christmas was over. My due date is January 24, so that gives me a month. However because the baby dropped so early -at about 33 weeks - I have been having some extreme discomfort. Alright to be totally honest I am miserable, and my compassionate doctor arranged for me to deliver a little early to relieve the pain. So now I have less than a week to get everything in order. I can't decide what is worse 1- knowing exactly when the baby is coming and being able to see the time slip away and know that I am not ready, or 2- not knowing when a baby is coming and having to be ready at any moment. I am so grateful to know that soon the baby will be out, but at the same time I am soooo nervous to know that soon the baby will be out! Am I making any sense? Anyway at the moment I seem to be a hormonal, nesting maniac who can't decide whether I am ready to have a baby or not. Luckily it will all be over next week and things will be back to normal - well whatever normal is for a family with 5 kids. Wish me Luck!
