January 2004 Archives

Holy Moses. This is the infamous last month of pregnancy.

And she is going to get bigger? Where will she go? How will she possibly work herself down my birth canal without being a contortionist? This is going to hurt, huh? Don't lie.

OK, pleasant thoughts: the baby room is just about complete. Despite claiming the contrary, it looks like I will be prissifying my daughter. I love the flowered crib sheets, the lilac walls, the hanging butterfly decor and cloud art.

I also picked out her very first outfit: pink cuffed pants and a Petit Bateau (Mommy's favorite t-shirt brand!) collared shirt, topped off with a pink cap, booties and sweater jacket.
No. I am not kidding, Lord help me.

I trust however that soon enough I'll realize it's easier to keep her in diapers and spit-up-stained onesies so there is a glimmer of hope.

More pregnancy woes: I can't help but worry that she won't be healthy and I will be one of those women who don't survive childbirth to boot. And so that's what I get for reading the taboo back section of "What to Expect When You're Expecting."

Wow. Can I handle this?

My dream mind says "mmm....maybe." A few nights ago I had a dream where my baby son, Peter Porter, was a real pistol. He wouldn't stop crying and he grew to that pesky toddler stage in about 15 minutes. Plus it was no help when Kev hocked his crib and changing table to buy dope. (I could use a dream interpreter here.)

HYPOCHONDRIAS ENORMOUS

Please, please, please don't let me me suffer an aortic dissection during my pregnancy.

Or a clotting disorder or excessive hemmorhaging or epidural-induced paralysis or placental/uterine infection, rectal implosions, aneurysms or anything that might hurt or cause death and/or disability.

And please let the baby be OK, too.

Am I too selfish for parenthood or what?

Please don't punish me, God, for being immature and scared of dying.

AHHHHH!

Seriously, I'm nervous. The doctor wants to induce me before my due date...meaning that I might have a baby in the next 10 days or so. I find out for sure next Thursday.

He wants to induce since I've been reporting low fetal movement throughout my pregnancy and he wants to be on the safe side and have the baby delivered as soon as is safe.

He assures me everything is fine though...so I'm a bit confused. If everything is fine, why induce? I am hoping for the best and trying not to be too anxious.

I have been feeling a little "unwell" for the past few days. Sort of how I might feel if I OD'd on Metamucil. Also headachy and stomachy. The roaring hypo in me will not quiet down. I'm trying to distract the little voice by shoving large handfuls of snack foods down my gullet.

Prayers, please....?
