Well.....she must be on Egyptian time because this little one didn't make her move today (yet....haha). We had a doctor's appointment this evening and it seems as though her twirl space is too tiny and a c-section is necessary to welcome her into the world safely.
Our daughter's ETA has been established much more clearly now (could this get any better for Phil?!), as the surgery is scheduled to begin Tuesday morning at 11:30! Yes, that means in LESS THAN 48 HOURS, the Parkinson's will be an official Family of THREE. OH MY GOODNESS. We get to meet our daughter on February 12th.
The pre-op bloodwork was completed tonight, as was the suite-booking and cautionary paperwork. It was a four hour ordeal at the hospital, but we finally got home and into some comfies.
And then I cried.
Sobbed.
Like a baby.
For a good 20 minutes in bed.
Why? I HAVEN'T A CLUE!!! All I know is that before this evening, I assumed any baby anxieties were related to the unanswered "when" and "how". Now these two things have answers and I'm still left with worries. I panic about her health, the c-section, the future......ah, my mind races and the anxieties generate non-stop. Thankfully, the tears seemed somewhat therapeutic and I'm slowly getting more excited and less frightened. Inshallah the trend continues.
Until Tuesday, I will try to enjoy as much rest and relaxation as possible. I'm not sure I'll have any luck in the sleep department but I will do my darnedest to catch a few hours of shuteye. I will make sure Phillip does the same!
Ahhhh - WE ARE HAVING A BABY! On Tuesday!!!! That is, unless Baby P throws us a curve ball and comes before then!!! Haha.
We are all so excited! We love you all so very much. xo
