Less Than 24 Hours to Go!

At this point, I am excited and a little apprehensive. A little fear keeps popping up because this is my fourth c-section. This stemmed from a comment by a mom I know who is also an obstetrician. When she found out it was my fourth c-section, she said, "Wow, you are really rolling the dice." That wasn't very nice of her. But that is where the seed of fear was planted and I am prayerfully digging it out. There is no go going back now, this baby has to come out. 

The past few days I feel like someone beat the whole lower half of my body with a stick. Walking is a little precarious and my hip joints and my back need some serious oil. I feel a little like the Tin Man before he is completely oiled, but with a giant belly. All gracefulness has abandoned me.

One of the things I am most excited about is that I get to be in the hospital. I know some women can't wait to get out and go home. Not me! I am so excited to just rest, have people bring me food (I am not picky about hospital food), and drugs when I need them. Hotel time for me.

A lot of family is going to be there. It is wonderful to be so loved. 

Thank you for all of your love and support. I am hoping to post from my mom's laptop tomorrow afternoon to give you the news of our sweet baby.
