As you might’ve noticed, I’ve been a bit MIA, as well as so much has occurred in the past few weeks that I don’t even understand where to start. What I can begin with is our infant woman hasn’t made her appearance yet, as well as today I am officially 40 weeks, 1 day. Yep, I know–I have zero concept exactly how we’re already here. I keep in mind feeling like time was going relatively slowly, as well as then someday I woke up as well as was like, “Well, I’m 39 weeks today.” When I saw my physician last week, he stated he believes she is taking her time as well as will show up late; I assumption she’s quite comfortable in there.
The great news is, in general, I feel truly good. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t sleep incredibly well at night, I get up a few times to go to the bathroom as well as have a harder time falling back asleep, however general I’ve truly enjoyed being expecting as well as can’t believe exactly how quick everything flew by! There’s a great deal of anticipation now, particularly since my due date has come as well as gone. It’s like that feeling you get before a big, important test or work event, as well as you understand you’ll be ok, however you aren’t sure what to expect. Plus, in the situation of labor as well as delivery, I’ve never done it as well as don’t understand when it will happen, as well as there’s no method to completely prepare for the experience. We’re completing up some last-minute home things before she arrives, which included me telling Vlad that we had to get a few of our Christmas designs up. I don’t understand what made me believe that had to happen, however I got my mind set on it over the weekend, as well as we went to our storage system to tons up the vehicle as well as set up. I see the physician this afternoon, as well as for all I understand I might go into labor any type of minute. however for now, it’s a waiting game as well as it’s all on her schedule, not mine.
Last I told you, I was having the infant in NYC. That all changed, as well as now I’m back in Florida as of a few weeks back to have the infant in Florida. To make a truly long, truly frightening story short, I had a growth ultrasound in nyc that ended up being checked out incorrectly, (If I even went into all of the details, you’d be beyond shocked, which is exactly how we felt as well.) as well as the physician believed there might be a skeletal problem with the baby. It hit me like a truck; we didn’t see exactly how this might be the situation since nothing had ever been irregular in the ultrasounds before, as well as after rather the scare, it turns out the tech determined her wrong as well as she is fine. It was the most stressful circumstance I’ve ever been in, as well as whatever else that seemed ‘big’ in my life was no longer huge at all. All I cared about was our baby’s health and wellness as well as what we might do to take care of her. If something had truly been wrong, I wished to be back in Florida where my household is as well as wished to make a plan of what to do to take care of our infant the very best we could. I’m thankful to the physicians we have in Florida who took care of us, as well as I am truly looking ahead to satisfying this bit one–boy, do I have so many stories about her earliest days for her when she’s older!
Soon after we discovered out that the infant was ok, Vlad discovered his father had passed away unexpectedly. To state he is heartbroken is an understatement. There is never a great time to lose a liked one, however there was something about the timing–only 3.5 weeks before the infant was due–that seemed even more unfair. Vlad’s dad was so excited to satisfy his granddaughter (she’s the very first grandchild for both of our parents), as well as while it isn’t at all what we expected or wanted, I believe they already have a special bond. It’s been a truly emotional time (pregnancy does that to you), however the loss of a parent is extremely difficult as well as I can’t pretend this has been easy. What we keep focusing on is the truth that a new life is joining us, as well as we understand exactly how much Vlad’s dad would want us to enjoy every minute with this bit one. I understand there will be so many moments when Vlad desires his dad were right here to see him be a father, as well as while we can’t ever replace that, we will do our finest to tell stories as well as share pictures to ensure that our child understands about her Opa. Life doesn’t always go exactly how you expect, however it continues going, so while we will have so many unfortunate moments over the loss of his dad, we’ve been able to discover happiness in fantastic memories as well as understanding that while Vlad’s dad isn’t right here with us physically, we feel him with us every day.
We’ll keep you published on the arrival of infant woman PurseBlog! ❤ Megs
