Hi Ladies,
I had my 37 week appointment today, and she has scheduled my induction for August 11th at 7:30 AM. YIKES!! That is 13 days away....we will see if I make it that far. With #1 I was sent from my 38 week appointment, so that will be the true test.
I am so excited and also scared. Going from 1 child to 2 will be a huge adjustment and I am worried for how my little girl will handle this. She knows it is coming, but I don't think she understands that it changes the dynamics of the family and she no longer will be the 100% center of things. I just hope I can do a good enough job to not make her feel lost in this whole process. I am crying as I write this because I have never loved someone the way you instantly love your baby. As she has grown, she amazes me at how wonderful of a little girl she is and I don't want to lose that. She has been everything to me, and I worry this is going to hurt her. I am sorry, it has been an emotional day today knowing that all of this is going to be done by the latest on 8/11. Any advice from mom's with more than 1 would be so helpful and greatly appreciated.
My appointment went well, except I gained 3 pounds. I have never gained that much in a week and it has put me at 19.5 pounds, so I was dissappointed. It has been so nasty humid here, I hope some of that is water retention. Also, my cervix is still high, but it is soft and I am dialated between a 2 and 3. My OB said the day of induction I can just come in the morning since my cervix is already progressing on its own.
Thanks for listening gals, I just feel a little overwhelmed by these feelings, and knowing a date that it will be all over is kind of putting it in motion.
Hope all is well with all of you! Take care and have a great weekend as August is approaching fast!!!!!!
