This past week has been tough.
Anxious, does not even begin to mildly define the roller coaster of emotions I've been feeling. I am a thinker, a what-ifer, a planner, a worst case scenario"er"..... etc.... It's like a flood, that I just can't stop. So, last week I focused on a goal to distract myself..... Operation Get This Baby Out..... I tried everything I could to make baby Ford come early (as I explained in my posts last week) and obviously nothing worked. Now, here comes my due date (tomorrow) and I am an absolute nervous wreck.
What if he doesn't come
What if I have to induce
What if there are complications with me
What if there are complications with him
What if the epidural doesn't work
What if he's not really 6 lbs and turns out to be huge (I'm small people!)
What if my water breaks and I don't realize it
What if I have to have a c-section
..... Can they put me to sleep if I have to have a c-section
What if I freak out about breast feeding?
.....Does that make me a bad Mom
What if there are complications after the birth
etc. etc. etc.
Argh..... Currently lost in my emotions, please pray he comes soon before my mind sends me into a downward spiral into the pits of "freak-dom"
(Hah, I just re-read my post.... it might be safe to say I've already gone down the spiral.....)
