Almost Baby Time (Again!)

Hi everyone. I've posted here before but lost my log in information and it's been a crazy year since becoming pregnant for the 2nd time!

 

This is the most hectic month of my life. My fiancee, daughter, and my pregnant self had to move out of our apartment that we'd lived in for a year back in August -- because the area we lived in was considered high risk for lead paint, DD was a candidate for early testing of lead poisoning. She didn't have poisoning, but did have highly elevated levels at 9 months of age. So, we left, stayed with family in one single bedroom with all 3 of us crammed in there with allll of our stuff. We just moved into our own place again after a long search, two weeks ago. So now we're scrambling to get settled in before DS is here (scheduled C-Section March 22nd.)

 

I have had the hardest time being excited because I have been so stressed this year. My last pregnancy was so wonderful and relaxing! But this was a bad year for me to be pregnant, way too many ups and downs! However, now within days of him arriving, I am letting myself be excited, because I'm slowly getting things back together. However, even though this will be my 2nd C-Section, I am super nervous about it. I'm so nervous about pain and everything, and I have a phobia of vomitting lol, so, I worry about that big time! Granted I have not thrown up in 12 years, and have survived 2 pregnancies without morning sickness, I still worry.

 
The last c-section, I was so out of it because I was in non-progressive labor allll night long prior to them deciding it was necessary I have one (baby's heart rate dipped with each contraction, and the cord was wrapping.) So, I pretty much slept through the first one. I'm worried now that since I'll be aware that I am going in for a scheduled one, that I will have more a chance to freak out and be over anxious and need extra medication. I'm so worried and need to calm myself down before I freak myself out! Seven more days 'til it's baby time and I'm a wreck!
