The Waiting Continues....

No baby yet... obviously. Well, I say obviously but some guy in my office asked me the other day "you haven't had that baby yet?" Uhh, yeah I had her and then decided to put her back.

We went to visit our potential daycare on Wednesday night. It was VERY overwhelming to me. The lady was talking 90 miles an hour and kids were running around, parents were in and out, back and forth, all this while we walked through the whole place. While I would feel okay about leaving our child there I was having some major anxiety over actually having to take her to ANY daycare. I can't imagine what the day will be like when I actually have to take her and drop her off. I haven't even met her yet and am already a mess over leaving her. The director seems to run a tight ship up there which is good. They keep a total of 9 infants and the spot they have will be available on November 28. Unfortunately, if we want to take her there we will have to pay $65 a week starting on the 28th every week until we start taking her. After that it's $125 a week. Once we finally got to sit down in her office I got really uncomfortable and it must have shown because she asked me if I was okay. I had a massive contraction, broke into a sweat, and my eyes started watering. I told her I was fine... well her daughter went to get me a cold rag but I insisted I was fine. She told Jason he might want to start timing them! I got outside and cooled off. I think I must have had a contraction & panic attack combo or something! After all that... old plan is out, new plan is in! Jason needs to find a second job so I can quit mine and stay at home. The only thing is, Jason doesn't know the new plan yet... so that's on the to-do list... tell Jason about the "new child care plan."

We have finished our pre-natal classes. I'm glad we decided to take them. I thought they were very worthwhile and informative. At the last one we went over medical interventions - IV's, epidurals, C-Sections, and Episiotomies. After watching the video of the C-section and episiotomies, I told Jason he was only getting one baby out of me! I feel much more prepared after the class, so hopefully when the time comes I won't have as much fear about the labor and delivery process.

The next doctor's appointment is Monday afternoon, hopefully she will have more good news to give us!
