Surreality

T minus 15 days!

As I walk through my days leading up to Baby Perla’s arrival in a dreamlike, yet anxious state, I still can’t believe that this is going to happen. Logically, my brain understands that a baby will be making its way, kicking and screaming into our family very soon. But, emotionally I can’t help but feel that I will pregnant for…ev…er. Being pregnant becomes such a way of life that it is hard to remember what life was like pre-pregnancy.

The thing is, mentally or emotionally ready, this baby is coming – soon. I asked a friend of mine who recently had a baby what the biggest change was in her life. Her response was simple, she said she had no idea what she worried or thought about before her baby arrived. Nothing else seems to matter as much anymore, except for her baby’s well being. It is ironic how right now I can’t imagine not being pregnant, but in two short weeks, I will not be able to imagine my life the way it is right now. Life sure is complicated.

Anyway, just an update, Brian and I visited the High Risk Doc yesterday for our last Ultrasound. Baby Perla is not budging and is still in the breech position. The dreaded “shelf” is still obstructing its ability to move into the “head down” position. We are still on schedule for a C Section on December 10.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving and please be jealous of the fact that I will be wearing pants with an elastic band.
