Busy Times

It’s been very hectic the past few days and it’s only going to get worse. Tomorrow night I have to go for a ‘sleep study’ to see if they can determine exactly what’s causing my insomnia. The doctor is worried that I might have sleep apnea. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it’s something else. This weekend we’re having the munchkin’s birthday party given my husband is on duty the weekend after his birthday. He’s off the munchkin’s actual birthday which is nice, but it’s doubtful any of our family or friends would be able to do anything on a Thursday.
It’s so strange to think that this time last year we were having our last round of doctors appointments, and I was so very uncomfortable and just hoping for everything to be over. This time tomorrow we were talking to my OB about getting an induction because much as I hated to feel weak I couldn’t take it any more, and was afraid that how stressed out I was getting and how little I could do would have an adverse affect on the baby.
My OB had tried to schedule things for the Friday after I was due to give things time to happen naturally, but the only time the hospital could fit is in was the Tuesday before, which meant he was actually born on his due date. Generally people who are scheduled for induction tend to ‘scare’ themselves into labor or something like that the day or so before, but not us. Stubborn to the end our son was, and still is now. I dread to think how he’s going to be when he’s a teenager given how his Dad and I both were.
