I'm really done with not being able to go to the hospital. I feel like I should wait the full 7 days because it is safest. C keeps coughing on everything and producing rivers of snot. He sleeps in bed with us because I want to be sure he's breathing OK. He's handled colds much better since his mitral valve was repaired, but I'm still leery, especially with EV-D68 running around.
I find that I really miss being pregnant. I had a lot of expectations for how October, November and December would be for me. I expected a certain level of discomfort, a lot of work to manage my blood sugars and getting big as a house. I was looking forward to Baby Girl being big enough that I could let C feel her kick. We were going to do a 3D ultrasound and have a copy of it on DVD. We were going to have a recording of her heartbeat installed in a bear for C. I was going to actually get my prenatal pictures done this time. I miss feeling her kick and the bonding we would have done in these last few months of my pregnancy. I'm sad I couldn't share her with my husband and son. Every day, in a thousand ways, I'm reminded that the world has not matched my expectations for this pregnancy.
