Still Here

lls_mutantYeah, I'm still here. I'm spending naptimes frantically trying to finish painting Toby's big boy room. Like his nursery, we're doing a mural, but this one is trucks and trains and tractors. Someone (and I DON'T mean my husband!) is a little obsessed :) But I need to finish it soon.
Today seems to be a baby day. Good news on my f-list, and we scheduled the possible C-section. If the baby doesn't decide to come before then, I guess he'll be here December 14. My due date is either the 17 or the 15, so it's not like this is super early. And I know I shouldn't be thinking this way, but I'll be home for Christmas. Yay!
I'm excited, but I must confess I'm a little terrified. Not of the baby. In terms of the baby, I'm alternately horribly excited about meeting him, dreading the first few months until we get him onto a schedule, and just eager for him to get here so I can not be pregnant anymore :P (But I'd much rather he wait until it's time!) I'm more terrified of the surgery, particularly the epidural. I can handle the thought of getting an epidural if I go vaginal because a.) I can imagine a scenario that I make it to the hospital just in time to push, and b.) I've done that, sort of. I've felt labor pains and I know that, when faced between labor or a needle, I'll take that needle, thanks. But with a C-section, I feel like I'm going into the spinal block cold, and I don't have that "Just take this pain away NOW!" motivation. (Although obviously I don't want them cutting into me without it.)
I'll just be glad to be on the other side.
Heroes tonight- woohoo! And I guess I should paint a little more now. I am so not motivated. ::sigh::

Date: 2007-10-30 04:10 pm (UTC)I don't blame you for being nervous about the surgery. I had two babies vaginally and one by C-section, and I'll take a vaginal delivery over a C-section any day. Ow. It took me several days before I could stand up straight after the C-section.
Oh well, baby was healthy, and that's what counts. She's the little ladybug in the icon. Her twin was more considerate and was born the old-fashioned way.
