Ahh sitting down for my afternoon 'treat'-hot cider and godiva chocolate. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> and then...my pm treatment. oh well.
Just an update:
Thanks everyone for all the congrats and kind words!! DebbieS-I really want my experience to be inspiring to others, whether you have no kids, 1 or 5, whatever. Its not about babies-its about continuing to believe and reach out for whatever that dream is for you. I SO wish you the best on your journey Debbie.
Lauren-TV!!! YES!! I know, this winter is going to be the 3 of us hibernating watching TV and playing games. I need to rest.
So I am over 9 weeks now. We have told everyone. Its been a happy response from everyone. My Cf team seems to have alot of confidence in me and I do in them.
Currently I commute to my Cf center in NYC. (about 1 hour away) They are transitioning to a new hospital right now and I don't have any new OBgyn connections there. My last, wonderful OB has retired, and many of her colleagues have moved since the last hospital closed. So that left me wondering where to go.
There is a very good OB group near me that I heard about through word of mouth. They have midwives, OB and affiliate high risk. The hospital I'd be delivering in is also excellent and has a Cf center in it in case of emergency.
Its kind of the best of both worlds bc I can plan to (hopefully) have the natural birth experience I had with my 1st. The midwives and doulas here are wonderful. But with the help of the high risk Obs everything on that end is taken care of also. I know I have a 'special' situation and need extra attention from docs. But I don't want to sacrifice the natural birth experience I want as long as I and baby are healthy.
Everyone seems to be on board for working together, communicating back and forth, and it should all be smooth. It will be soooo nice not to have to go back and forth to NYC for everything too. A big load off.
As to how I feel? (making gagging sounds) I am so much sicker than the first time around! Puking ALL day. And the emotions are hysterical. I am crying about 2-3 times a day for absolutely no reason at all, and at any given time. It comes on like a sneeze-once I feel it coming there is no stopping it. This peanut is giving me quite a run for my money.
But hey, it is nice for once to be sick for a happy reason.
