The Final Countdown
Holy wow!
So I'm 37, almost 38 weeks along. Do you realize that in about 16 days (give or take a few) Garrett and I are officially going to be parents!??!!?!!?!!????!!
Scary!
We're excited though. I can't wait for our little Kaylee to get here. I keep thinking about what life will be like once she is here - how different and how similar it will be.
More often though I'm caught thinking about how awful labor and delivery is going to be. It's been running through my mind constantly. I'm totally scared. I mean, I've tried to educate myself as much as possible but regardless it freaks me out. And I just have to say - telling me how 'worth it' it all will be does nothing to help the situation.
You see, I do not handle pain very well. Like at all (I literally told my OB that when the time comes I want 'the juice'!). I can handle recovering from pain. But the actual pain - not so much. On top of that, well, my 'lady-parts' aren't the strongest...meaning I know I will tear...and tear badly (sorry if that's TMI - you don't have to keep reading). And then I talk to other women about recovering from delivery and I get even more freaked out - who in their right mind wants to worry about making "pad-sicles"!! I mean, REALLY!! And having to use a squirting bottle when they use the bathroom. And almost every woman I've talked to says that the recovery 'down there' hurts just as much, if not worse, than the actual delivery.
He-- NO!
