Getting there

So I'm feeling a little more human right now. The beginning of the week sucked ass and I needed help in the worst way. Chuck went back to work on Monday and it was Nyssa and I from there. Dumb. I was doing shit I shouldn't have been doing but had no choice. The worst is going from sitting to standing or standing to sitting. Brutal. It's not as bad today. I actually got some good sleep out of the peanut last night, which has helped a shit load. Also Mary Jo flew out Friday and has been a HUGE help. She got the laundry all caught up and has made dinner every night. She rocks. She's my BFF, yes, I'm a dork. If I could have arranged to have her all week I would have. Those of you who know what's going on know what I really wish for.

The emotions are starting to calm down a little. It's been bad this week. I'm hoping they are on their way to being somewhat reasonable again. I think the worst thing for me to deal with is being so frickin' limited on what I can and cannot do. I'm used to it to some degree from my tailbone thing, but this? Ow. I think I over did it quite a bit during the week having to do it all myself. I guess it boils down to the fact that I wasn't expecting this much recovery time. LOL. Oh well, she's damn cute!

I'm hoping going to post a teaser picture of Miss Nyss. As long as blogger co-operates. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have more pictures posted and also a little more of the story of Nyssa Lynn! I got the picture of Nyssa posted and I had to post the picture of her little foot poking out of her blanket. I super heart that picture. It's probably one of my fave's. I love her. I still can't believe she's ours and she's here to stay! I love her a lot!

We are home!

We got home this afternoon! Miss Nyssa (say the 'y' like the 'i' in miss) is doing well. She just drank 2 ounces and is now chillin' in her swing. But I'm sure will wake up since daddy just walked in the door with Chinese food!

I'm doing okay. Tired as all get out. Incredibly sore in the incision area, but otherwise doing well. Getting up and down is by far the worst. Also not being able to do or lift things I don't normally think about, drives me crazy. Hurts like hell also! I'll post more in the next day or two. I've got to go eat now. I'll at least try and get some pictures up.

The scoop.

Okay. So the appointment for the ultrasound went well. She is weighing in at 7 pounds 2 ounces. (I think it's off, but what the hell do I know) The NST went okay too. She's not very active in the morning, so they shocked my belly to wake her up and boy oh boy did she wake up!

We saw the Doctor after. It's looking like this little peanut is going to make her arrival on June 10th. We are to go to the hospital at 7 pm on June 9th to have some gel put on my cervix to soften the damn thing up to hopefully deliver her vaginally. The gel will be on there for about 12 hours then on the 10th they will start pitocin (sp?) to get the contractions going. Yay. I want her out. Although it's totally effed up my mindset on a c-section now. (I'll get over it :) As long as the epidural works! The Doctor decided that since she was smaller than he thought that vaginal was the way to go. At least try. In the end I'm good with that as well. It's the recovery thing that concerns me with the c-section. Although with as stubborn as this little thing is being now, who knows if she will co-operate in the end! I've basically learned not to hold my breath where she is concerned! The only question is WHEN she will come on the 10th!! The Doctor's parting words were, "We'll see on the 9th unless of course you go into labor on your own." Hmm. Could it be possible?! LOL

I was totally disappointed that she is going to make her appearance this week sometime, but oh well. 5 more days? No problem. Now I can extend my cleaning list! LOL. I have all sorts of little things I'd like to get done. Why they are bugging me now, I have no idea, but still, they are bugging me. I actually cleaned out the microwave the other day. Go figure. I'm kind of annoyed I cleaned down the shower yesterday since that isn't an east feat right now. I should have waited!!

That's all for now. I've got to get the oven going for dinner. I'm starving all of a sudden!

Tomorrow's Appointment

We are so ready. Just to know WHEN she will actually be here. Definitely ready.

Floaty Baby to the right

Duh. I figured out the baby to the right is now counting how many days I'm over due! LOL. Duuuuuuh.

Ultrasound & NST appointment

They called this morning. We are scheduled for an 8:30 a.m. ultrasound then I think we go to the labor and delivery floor for the Non Stress Test. Our appointment with Doctor Locker is at 10 am. I called to make the appointment to see him and the lady said that there was nothing available. I explained then what was said by Doctor Locker, she put me on hold and squeezed us in at 10. She said for us not to be surprised if we have to wait. She wasn't sure, maybe we'd get right in, but to be prepared. At least we know to bring some things to read! The worst is when you are stuck in there with nothing to do but stare at the other women. Secretly I laugh at the ones that aren't as ready to have the kid, it's mean, I know. But I'm so ready! Chuck is too.

We actually put the base in the car, it's not buckled yet, but it's in there at least. We put the diaper bag (with an assortment of going home clothes since we have no idea how big she is right now) and the suit case in there as well. Yup. We are ready. Duh. I guess we'll find out Wednesday how big she is approximately! Yay! We'll see if she is my peanut or cashew! My money's on cashew!

Due!

Today is the day. She's not going to come out, though. It's hard to say where she gets her stubborn streak from, Daddy is pretty stubborn too. We are so screwed. I'm bored. Go figure. Good thing we went to the library the other day.

I never heard from the Ultra sound place so we still don't know which day the ultra sound will be on, Tuesday or Wednesday. I'll try and keep this up to date!

I added pictures of the kids!
