Lately I have been feeling exhausted carrying / growing this baby boy of our but I've been pushing myself to at least get the small stuff done at our new house.
Its been a crazy couple of weeks with countless friends and family members stopping by to see the new digs and help me unpack and paint rooms.
Patrick and I are forever grateful that we have a huge extended family and friends who go above and beyond for us. My mom, brother in law, and sisters had the whole upstairs painted over a weekend (something that would have taken me weeks to do by myself). They then helped us move from our third floor apartment -- no elevator, only steep stairs - into the new house (poor people!!). We owe them BIG time!
Some of the new things we are dealing with in addition to the new place of residence are:
--> Discovering on my last ultrasound that I have a complete placenta previa and OB has confirmed that I will deliver at 37weeks via C-Section.
--> We are both starting to freak out that we have nothing ready for the Baby's arrival
--> Patrick is prepping for a major interview related to a new position for work... We all are hoping and praying he gets this!!
--> I have to remind myself on a daily basis that I'm allowed to feel down/sad sometimes and that my worry is natural and expected part of being a first time mom-to-be.
--> I am struggling with my fear of C-Sections. Sometimes it feels so overwhelming but I remind myself in a few short weeks I will be holding my son and that helps put things back into perspective.
