Going Overboard and changing the scheme of this blog...

Ok so I haven't written anything in some time. I am now 8 months pregnant with our second boy and for the time being not focusing on my political aspirations. I am now just trying to deal with the idea of being a parent to 2 children!

I have 6 more weeks to go and I am FREAKING OUT!
I am to the point of almost crying. My first baby was a c-section and I never dialated or really had any kind of natural labor. This baby currently must be HUGE! Everyone cannot believe I am due in another 6 weeks! I have a planned c-section for 4/19/2010 and now my body is changing rapidly. I don't remember this feeling! What to do, what to do.......? So I decided to dust off the old blog and put my fears down on paper. I really wish they made some online calculator like you have for your taxes that tells you when your baby will come...... I am so anal at times I have no patience for the real world! I suppose that is why I work in insurance.....


Anyhoo. If anyone is out there and recalls feeling like this and wants to write a comment, please do so! I think my husband thinks I am going crazy!
Many more posts to come in the near future I am predicting!

I was so huge with my first that people were constantly saying "Really?" when I told them how far I still had to go till my due date. I had a doctor's appointment a few days before I was due, and she told me I was not dilated at all, and she thought it would be another week, and I started sobbing right there in the exam room. I felt like I couldn't stand to be pregnant another minute.

Trust your doctors. Tell them how you're feeling. They will be monitoring your body and the baby and making sure they do what's best for both of you. If they think the baby is big and delivering earlier might be healthier for you, I'm sure they'll do it. Or they'll just have you stick it out as long as you can.

Hang in there! I know six weeks seems like forever, but you can do it!

LOL You will be just fine and I know you'll be a great mom of 2... i'm nervous about being the mom of 1 ! I guess it's just the unknown that is scary :) Hang in there girl!!
