Thank you to everyone for your words of support today. In what was about the best timing ever, I had an appointment today with my therapist (oh to have someone to talk to twice a month!!) and it helped me sort out a lot of my anxieties.
First and foremost, I have to accept that I will possibly NOT have this baby before my niece leaves and accept help from the nice people who have offered to step in and help us.
I'm also going for a massage in the next few days. (SLW, I'll email you for that info..) And I sent a bunch of reading to my husband to get him on board with my VBAC because he's been sort of digging his heels in the ground about doing what's safe vs. doing what I want. I had no idea he felt this way until last night. I thought he was on my side and understood. But turns out he thought I was putting myself and the baby at risk by VBACing.
And THEN I got a wonderful email from Heather saying Dr. D is back on rotation and from his paternity leave. So that also gave me a drop in anxiety.
Thank you to everyone on here for helping me feel better and for all your offers of support (child care, masseuses, acupuncturists, advice, etc).

Just catching up on posts. I'm so sorry you've been dealing with so much stress! The best piece of advice that was ever given to me during my pregnancy/newborn days was to accept any help offered to me. If people didn't want to help, they wouldn't offer!
I'm glad you're feeling better. I'll be praying that Baby Boy Kaler decides to come out on his own very soon!
PS-- Can I have your therapist's info...I have some serious issues that I need help with

Glad you are feeling better! I'm sorry you've been so stressed.
Not sure which doc you saw but last time with Bailey they didn't make me schedule anything until 40 weeks then I had all the way to 41 wks to get anything done. YAY for Dr. Dawson being back!!!!
