3 days to go..

Things freaking me out:

Today is my last official day to get anything done around the house.

I am having BH contractions keeping me up at night and am completly terrified that the kid is coming early. (Doesn't she know we have shit to do all weekend?)

M and I have about 106 errands to do tomorrow including buying a pad for the changing table. (Can we say unprepared?)

I am not going to be able to spend so much alone time with B anymore, and yet he is driving me crazy right now because I have NO ENERGY.

I have a head cold, and stiches in my finger and will not have finished all my medications prior to delivery. Do I bring them all with me to the hospital?

Should I pack long sleeve shirts and short sleeve shirts?

Did I forget to pay any bills?

Do I get my tubes tied white under anesthesia?

How is B going to respond to X?

Do I like X's name?

What if X has colic?

When will I be able to sleep again?

I could go on and on.........

I feel like such a freak show....for weeks and months I was just wishing this day would come faster....and now that it is here, I can't help but think....was being pregnant really so bad?

However, despite all the BS, there is one thing that is undeniable. I can't wait to have myself back to myself.

In 2 weeks or so I will:

Be done with antibiotics and should therefore be cold and sickness free.

Be done with pain medication I will have from C-section

Have my C-section staples out

Have my kid out

Have my hand stiches out

I will be like a new woman!

Damn. This last month crept up. I can't believe it's almost time.

I have a lot of the same fears as you, and sometimes they keep me up at night. But you are lucky because you have done this before, and you have done it well. It's all good.

GL getting everything done!
