All the laundry is done. The house is clean. My freezer is stocked. A hospital bag is packed. Camden is asleep. Now my mind can race...
Scheduling a c-section and seeing an end in site has been nice. But there is something nerve-racking about knowing the exact amount of time you have left until you will be a mother of two. I can't really explain how I'm feeling at the moment. It's a little surreal.
I've tried not to worry if I did enough with Camden while he was my only child, but it's hard. I can't help but think how different life will be. I am scared to recover not only from having a new baby but from surgery as well. How will Camden react to me not being able to pick him up? Am I ready for the pain and adrenaline rush that goes along with surgery. Am I ready for the hormonal rollercoaster ride and baby blues that follow? Will I ever be able to leave the house with two children in tow? When will I sleep? Will there be complications with the delivery? Will my baby be healthy? How will Camden react to his competition? Will we ever decide on a name? When do I have to start my diet? Will I be more alert after surgery? Can we really handle this?
My list could go on and on, but I better stop before I hyperventilate. Wish us luck. In just twelve short hours from now we will be arriving at the hospital. And two more after that is baby time!
To be continued....
