For her arrival. I am scared, nervous, excited..all in one. We still don't have a master plan of what is going to happen down here, and I am very frustrated about that, but there isn't anything I can do at this point.
Everyone says that they want to help, but they won't tell us what days they are available. All of that is making it so that I have to pretty much plan on Mike not being able to be up there with me, at least not the first week. He will go up with me obviously for the birth, but then he will need to come home the next day to be with Matthew and to work.
I am going to have him take the next week off, and then maybe bring Matthew along for the whole week, so that all we have to worry about is who is going to potty and watch the dogs. My sister can live here during the week, but they will need to be let out a couple of times during her hours at work..and I think it will be easier for my family to pop in and do that.
This will probably change 10 more times of course. I just don't know what else to do. We are waiting for that aw-ha moment to kick in, but we got nothing. I have resorted to the fact that I will need to be up there alone the first week to make it easier on everyone else. I hate, hate, hate that..I don't want to be alone up there for a minute..but this will be my time to be with her, and to just heal after my surgery. I will need help when I am discharged though..so I am hoping Mike will be able to come up for that so that I am in the RM house okay and we know how easy it will be for me to transport myself from the House to the hospital. I don't even know how good I will be able to walk, so I am hoping that there are nurses that can assist me with all of that. It is stressful, for sure!
I went and stocked up on last minute personal products for me..I forgot that you wear pretty much a diaper yourself forever afterwards, so I got some stuff to help me along with that..the little soaps, and extra shampoos and conditioners..etc..
So as much as I am "ready" as in packed ready..I don't know if I am emotionally ready. That will hopefully come in the next few days.
