Roller Coaster Ride

This has been one roller coaster of a week. 

On Tuesday we had our fetal growth appointment with the maternal fetal medicine doctor. 

Were told that the Little Miss looked great and that everything looked good for a natural, vaginal birth.

The boy and I were so excited for this news.

I had so been looking forward to having a vaginal birth.

Tuesday was a good day. 

Then comes Wednesday.

Wednesday I went to my regular OB appointment to get all the blood tests that I have missed due to being in the hospital so often.

I was in a fair amount of pain, as I have been for the last two weeks and we were discussing what would be the safest but most effective way to manage that when all of a sudden I was so violently ill.

So ill that I was vomiting into a trash can right in front of Jeremy, my nurse and the doctor.

Talk about embarrassing.

Before I was even through with being sick, my OB had me admitted to labor and delivery for a slew of tests, fluids and pain management.

She also informed me, as did three other doctors during my stay, that a c-section, around 38 -39 weeks would be the best option for both me and Sophia.

Talk about deflation.

I spent the night in the hospital just to get my pain under control.

Jeremy and I discussed it and decided that we agree with the doctors.

So Wednesday of next week we go to set the date for my impending doom (also known as our c section).

This morning I received a phone call telling me that I have ANOTHER infection.

They are calling it a UTI but it could be in my kidney or bladder.

Here we go with another round of antibiotics.

I am a little down about the whole thing.

Now there is so much to do and so much to set up.

I am going to need a support system of people who will come help with the cooking and cleaning.

Not to mention taking Kaylee out to play.

I am going to need company for the first few days after we're home just in case the pain gets bad or my stitches break.

This would not be a problem if we had people who wanted to or could help.

I have a sneaky suspicion that we're going to have to hire someone.

Great... Another thing to be stressed and nervous about.

'

I am trying to see the silver linings in this whole situation. 

Maybe after my appointment on Wednesday I will feel better about things.

I want to thank everyone again who follows what's going on with me and takes the time to text or message me or send up a prayer.

It makes it A LOT easier to stay positive through this whole mess. 

Until next time,
