... Of being pregnant! I haven't had the easiest of pregnancies by far yet I can't believe that tomorrow will be the last full day of "cooking" for my little man! I have been waiting for this pregnancy to come to a close for a while now, and now that I have my last doctor appointment tomorrow really is making me a nervous wreck! I am scheduled for a c section on Tuesday at noon and I am excited to be able to meet my little guy, it's just very surreal that it's actually here! I know that it will be an amazing time in our life to be parents for the first time, but at the same time we are besides ourselves trying to finish up last minute stuff. We had today to spend just the two of us and it has been amazing! Tomorrow my day will be filled with light cleaning (vacuuming and dusting), a doctor appointment then relaxing with my dog until my DH gets home from work. We have every single thing we need to bring home our little guy home on Friday, it's just a crazy thought that our lives will change forever in 36 hours (give or take). It will take time to adjust our routine and to get used to being a family of 3, but all in all we are super excited!! My next post will be my little man's birth announcement, until then good luck ladies!!

I did not get to do the light cleaning, heck I didn't even make it to the weekly dr appointment, I was super upset and confused when they told me that I would not be leaving the hospital from pre surgical testing. Once it was explained to me what was going on, I was diagnosed with pre eclampsia at 39 weeks 1 day, the day before my scheduled c section!! I have been monitored for pre e over the past few weeks but there weren't enough symptoms for them to diagnose me, but when my blood pressure hit an all time high for me 166/102 that was the straw that broke the camels back! I was told why risk my health and wait another day? Totally freaked me out but I knew that I was in the best place for this to happen!! My LO is was born a day earlier than expected!
The c section was not bad at all I didn't feel a thing and except for the urge to vomit that happened twice! It really was a walk in the park and I have not needed any pain medication except IV Tylenol. It was the most amazing feeling to hear him cry for the first time!! And to see my DH cut the cord was absolutely mind blowing!! I'm recovering well and my little peanut is perfect in every way!!
