Well haven't I been a bit slack with the updates. Its been so busy this last week, with george's anniversary and then christmas I feel like I haven't had a chance to scratch my nose!
Everything is going fine pregnancy wise. Our c section has been scheduled (date to remain a secret though!) and now we're counting down the days. Not long now but it cant really come soon enough as far as my body is concerned!
I've been getting between 3 and 5 hours of broken sleep a night for a week now. If i'm not tossing and turning trying to get comfortable i'm getting up to pee. And the back pain! As well as the normal pregnancy lowet back ache my siatic nerve keeps pinching which i've never had before and will be more than happy to never see again! Throw in a relapse of the hip dysplasia and some restless legs and my body is well and truely over it all!
There has been a few hopeful signs though. My braxton hicks are getting more frequent and i'm having a lot more period type pain too. My mucus plug started coming away christmas day, so who knows, bub could surprise us any day I guess.
I thought that by this point my anxiety would have peaked and i'd be nervous or scared, but I actually feel really calm. I'm not worrying any more about the cleft or any other complications, I just really want to meet my baby girl and hold her tight. I finally realised that none of the other stuff matters.
We had a five second consult with the anethistist this morning, very straight forward as we already no what to expect and how my body should react. Next appointment is just with the midwives next week so we have a pretty cruisy run to the end after all the drama up to this point!
