the end is coming way too soon.

I am scared half out of my mind thinking about how this baby somehow has to come out of me. . . . She is moving and kicking so much. . I can tell she is getting stronger and bigger by the week. . . . I only have about 4 weeks left. Most of the time I do just fine and don't stress about the pregnancy at all, and I am just excited. but lately, someone will ask me how much longer I have, and it will hit me that this baby is coming much sooner than I am ready for. .. . .can you really ever be ready though . . . . and then I start to think about the pain . . . and of course being myself, I think about the worse possible scenario . . which would be that they would give me an epidural, it wouldn't work, then for whatever reason, they would have to do an emergency c-section, and there would be no time to give me pain killers, and they would rip her out of me as fast as they could . . .I can picture myself screaming now. . .. . but then reality hits, and I realize that the worse possible scenario is just that . . .worse possible scenario, and chances are, if the epidural doesn't work, they can give me something else, and if they have to do a emergency c-section, and there are no pain killers in me, they will probably put me out . . . okay, enough of that. I'm sure it will all go fine, and I will have a cute little girl ( unless she decides she's a boy) in the end.

Heather-Congrats on the baby girl due VERY SOON (not to scare you or anything!) I have not seen you in like 10 years, that is SO crazy! Any names picked out for her? I will keep an eye on your blog for future updates!

Hey Heather!

Congrats on the baby girl! I will be having another girl in November. They are so much fun. Don't stress over the labor. It does suck, but the epidural is awesome. I actually ended up having an emergency C-section and it wasn't all that bad. Other than i really didn't want to have a c-section. It will all be worth it when you see your little angel anyway. Hope to here from you. Jennifer Olsen (Andrews)

Well I guess I better make it the 3sisters that have left a comment. I was pretty much the tag-along so I wasn't that cool back then to you guys. Congrats on your baby girl, well soon baby girl. I had a boy in January 07 and I would much rather go through the labor than the pregnancy. I was completely drugged and I would totally suggest it. Hope all goes well with the labor for you and take care.
