Mediocre Baby News

Without going into too much detail and freaking anyone out, we were handed some news about baby that isn't fabulous. I have placenta previa so it looks as though a natural birth was going to be out of the question regardless of my decision. At least we had already booked the C-section. So it looks as though this baby is coming on August 28th. Due to the issues that can come from having placenta previa (which is a low lying placenta that covers the cervix to sum it up) the baby could come earlier depending on the safety of carrying the baby to full term. The C-section is already booked a week before our due date, but the dr. has prepared me for the possibility that it could become necessary to take the baby out a week or two before that.

But on the plus side, I'm not on full restricted activity at this point. Just certain activities that I need to try to avoid and generally keeping myself rested, not stressed and do whatever I can to prevent any strain on myself.

So now that I have had a few days to digest the news, it's a little easier on my stress level. It's nothing dangerous at this point, but anything less than perfect news, is always worrisome for the expectant parents - easy for the dr. to say not to worry at this point!

If anyone is planning to come and visit in the near future, be prepared for what will greet you. Chances are my house will be less than sparkly clean and guess what - I am not going to care!! If you don't think you can handle the disorganization and the piles of toys stacked all over the living room and the mass of shoes in disarray in the entranceway, well then I sugggest you avoid coming over to visit (for maybe the next 20 years) hahahahaha!!!


But for some good news, I was able to get registered for some classes for the BC Crops for Kids scrapathon in September. (Yes I know, I'm crazy planning to attend a weekend long crop with a 3 week old baby) I signed up for 3 classes. 2 are Lovebug sponsored classes, which will be fabulous I know! And the 3rd one is with Piggy Tales products - and I love me some Piggy Tales!
