Getting nervous...

I'm starting to get nervous! We've got a section scheduled for 7/25, but my contractions have been getting more frequent and longer/more intense since Saturday. We went to L&D Sunday afternoon and had to stay for a while, but that's a different story! Now, we're doing better than when we went to the hospital, but I'm still having anywhere from 5-15 contractions an hour. There have only been a few that were 60 seconds or longer though, so we aren't too worried about it right now.

I felt like I was ready for these babies, but after the L&D scare Sunday, I'm so nervous that I'm forgetting SO many things! I didn't have a bag packed yet, so we were scrambling to get things together before leaving for the hospital. I'm also nervous all over again that I won't be able to tell them apart (irrational, I know, but still) or that something will be wrong with one or both of them when they're born.

And to top things off, we're moving (truck will be here Saturday), so I'm stressed about all of that and feel so unsettled because everything is in boxes instead of being put up where I can organize, clean, etc. It's killing me!!!

If these babies can wait just 6 or 7 more days, we'll be in the clear on so many fronts! They can be born at our home hospital and likely come home with us with little or no NICU time. We'll have our new furniture delivered and set up. The house will be ready, and I won't have to try to unpack and all of that with a baby in my arms. It's amazing how much difference such few days can make!!

Just needed to vent a little! Thanks for listening

Bless your heart. At 31w6d, I thought I was leaking fluid and it turns out I had peed on myself. That episode made me realize "OMG, I need to pack my bag because anything can happen." I also know what it is like to count down the days until you can deliver in your home hospital. For mine, it was 34 weeks, but from that episode until I hit 34w was excruciating, so I totally know what that is like. I could not imagine moving at the same time! You're in my thoughts! Someone better be carrying those boxes for you while you are sipping some lemonade!
