30 Days From Today... My Life Changes Again...

I'am completely in awe at the fact that I am going to be a Mom to another special angel in 30 days from today. At 7:00am on Oct. 6, 2009 I am set to check in to Banner Gateway hospital for yet another C-section. It takes the 2 hours to get you settled in, paperwork signed, your IV put in, and then its time to walk to the O.R. to have the actual procedure. Surgery is set to begin at 9:00am which means about 8:30am I will be taken to the O.R. to get my spinal block, and where they actual get things ready for surgery.
I know what the expect now, and my Doctor's office does an amazing job giving paperwork handouts which spell out exactly what will happen to you while in there. My only request is that I don't have to drink the anti-acid stuff which burns everything in your stomach. I know I can't eat after 12 midnight the night before, and if it means I don't have to drink that stuff, I definately wont sneak a cookie or cupcake. :) That stuff is so gross. My Dr. said I wouldn't have to drink it, but he also isn't going to be present if the nurses MAKE ME. I will be so pissed... UH...
I have to have a catheter. REALLY!!!???? But, I guess I get it. Its not like I can get up and pee by myself once I have a spinal block. I won't be walking for atleast 4 hours after surgery. With all the IV fluids, it has to go somewhere, right!?? The great part about this is, I wont feel it being installed. It freakin hurts!! So, Dr. L said that I don't have to get it until after I have my spinal. It was the best news yet!! Hahaha.... Everything all in all seems to be running so much more smooth than with Zach.
Today my husband told me I looked like I have "ballooned" over the past 2 weeks. Baaahahaha, I said- Oh Really!?? Probably not the choice of words to use with a pregnant chick. He says, "Well, least you have a reason!!" I guess he is right, and they say this is the time in the last 2 months where you gain all your weight. I am really not that much bigger if any that I was 2 weeks ago. Trust me,.... I am paying close attention to the weight gain now. :) I am proud to announce I am still UNDER what I weighed when I had Zach, by like 15lbs. GOOO MEEE!!

Anyhow, will post more when I have a chance. I am off to make Brownies with a big ole' scoop of ice cream on it. Don't you wish you had a wife like me!??? :)

Til Next Time...
