Nov. 1, 2005 - Less than 3 days...
Talk about a real countdown... I've even figured up the number of hours until our scheduled c-section to delivery our precious baby boy!!!
At times I'm so ready I could burst. At other times I feel like I am soooooo NOT ready! But regardless, it is soon and very soon!
Tomorrow I will have my pre-op testing done. Will also have some other questions answered. Then I'll be all set to go!
Thursday morning my grandmother will arrive to help with the kids. Thursday evening while dh is working away, my mother will arrive and we will go have my "final meal" and check into the hotel. Our hospital is over 45 minutes away so we decided the 3 of us would stay in a hotel to cut our drive time Friday morning. Dh doesn't usually get home until 11pm (or later!) so this will help him be in bed closer to 10pm.
Friday morning we will arrive at the hospital at 5am, surgery is scheduled for 7:15am CST.
Now if I can only sleep for the next three nights! I am having lots of trouble sleeping. Arms and hips go numb and there is NOT a comfortable position available. I'd sure like to get some good rest, though I am napping during the day now too. Just cannot stop that anymore. I doubt I'll sleep much Thursday night...should have asked for something to help with that. But I'd have to take it at 5pm to get a full nights sleep in before having to get up at 4am!!
Not sure which is worse, not having time to panic OR having all this time to *think*. God is in control, though I'd like to think I am once in awhile. Ha! He continually shows me that is not the case. So here I go, resting in His arms and abiding in His peace.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers! They are so appreciated!!
