I am almost there.... So close.... Saturday morning Chris gave me my last progesterone shot. My date for my stitch to be removed is on the 23 rd! 12:00!!! I can't hardly wait... That is only 1 whole day away. I have this feeling of a huge weight being lifted from me. I have beaten the odds and feel like I have conquered a huge trial. And in turn I am hoping for a healthy baby. At least I know that I have done everything that I could possibly do to get to that goal. I have almost made it to full term. Honestly when the stitch was put in I felt like my chances were not really great that I would ever make it long enough for our little boy to come healthy. I pictured me and our little boy having to spend a long time in the NICU but here I am almost full term. Best feeling ever!
I am slowly feeling like myself again. I got my toes all glittery and cute, my hair cut, and best of all I have started preparing for our little man. In the last few days I have made a couple of shopping trips. Short ones but I am out in public again. It is weird. I am not use to people looking at me like holy crap she is going to pop :) I went into Target with my Mom and it made me realize really how weak I am. After not even a normal amount of time shopping I was so tired. My back and my legs ached so bad. I am not sure if it is from being on bed rest or from the fact that the last time I was out doing these things I was 20 lbs lighter! Either way I better get building some strength before our little guy decides to come. Today I made our bed for the first time since I can remember. I picked up a little in the babies room and cleaned my bathroom a bit. Keep in mind my stitch is still in and I am still taking it pretty easy cause I really don't want something to happen now that I am so close to it being out. So that seemed like a lot :) Plus my doctor is out of town till this Monday. So he said to hold tight till then cause he is done vacationing after this weekend till past my due date! Wonderful news... I am so excited to see what happens when the stitch comes. We'll see if I dilate some right away, or if my contractions will pick up quickly. I am just can't wait for it to be OK if my water breaks or I start having contractions close together. For the last 4 months I have been terrified of these things happening and after Wednesday it will be exciting!. Not to mention that after the removal my driving privileges will be back! I am feeling good. It felt so good to get out with Chris. Even if it was just to babies R us. It made me feel so normal. Back to having a life. And that is a great feeling to have after how the last months have been. I will keep you posted of how things go after the removal. Who knows I could have my baby in a 3 days if he comes fast after the stitch is gone. Or at the very longest (if I made it to my due date) 3 weeks away! I don't mind either way... He can come when he is ready.
