Going into this, I thought it might actually be nice to have a couple of weeks of relaxation - watching movies, catching up on things that get neglected due to daily duties, sleeping, etc. However, after about hour number two of being confined, I quickly realized this would, in fact, be the longest three weeks I've ever endured. There is only so much cable and internet one person can take. Heck, I can't even shop on line because I can't find anything justifiable to purchase!! I am facilitating Lane's nursery and arrival from a distance, but am confident it'll end nicely.
On Thursday, my mom gathered the rest of the necessities: bottles, a couple preemie gowns, some receiving blankets and the like. She finished what could be done of his nursery: boxing up clothes 3+ months for when he's ready to wear them. Less washing the things we received at our sprinkle and purchased since then, everything is ready for our little monster.
This weekend, I've been at my mom's, as Doug is in his cousin's wedding in Wisconsin. Everyone keeps asking how I feel - and I feel great, with the exception of a really hurting back (which is to be expected at this stage of the game). I'm scared, no doubt. I'm trying to process the many ways this could play out when we go to have him - I could walk out with the most normal delivery possible, only a little earlier than would be expected. I could walk out with a hysterectomy. Realistically, I could not walk out at all, but I'm trying not to think of that option. In the mean time, as we ready our lives for Lane, we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from our friends and family - it warms our hearts to know how loved we are, and our sweet baby boy is! Thank you all so much!!
