Baby Update

I had a doctors appointment this morning. I am now on the every week visit (which is so weird!) I know I say this every time I write about the new baby, but this time is so different. It has really flown by and trying to imagine life with a newborn and a toddler can be a little overwhelming. Even though Henderson is looking so much more like a "big boy" these days, he is still very much a baby to me. Pregnancy hormones get the best of me when I start thinking about trying to divide my attention between two babies that need me! As Stephen reminds me, Henderson wont remember a time without his brother. Still - it is going to be different and that can be scary.

My appointment went fine. I am having another ultrasound next week to try and determine some sort of weight on this big ole boy. My doctor hinted around that a c-section is a possibility. Due to the degree of tear and issues after Henderson's birth, there is a higher chance that I will have something like that happen again (since this baby is so large for my smaller frame). To avoid long term "issues" on my part, a c-section may be best option. I am really nervous.
I really didn't want to have a c-section, but also the thought of the "issues" I could face down the road sound even more unappealing. I guess I will know more next Thursday when they do the ultrasound and Stephen and I talk more in depth with my doctor.

Until then... I ask for prayers! I am praying that I can hand over the anxiety to the Lord and that He will guide the doctor and me to the best decision about what to do. I am praying that this sweet baby stay strong and healthy. I am also praying that the transition goes smoothly for Henderson. Thanks to all of my caring friends and family for your prayers. I will keep you posted!

PS. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
