So tomorrow Travis and I will officially welcome our precious little angel into this crazy world. We are so very excited. I'm a good combination of excited and nervous and I think Travis is too.
As we get ready to welcome this precious miracle to our lives I am very thankful to have made it to 36 weeks. With our first scare that they may have to deliver her at 24 weeks we have come so very far. I am also thankful to know that she has the best possible care with the best nurses. They keep telling me there is slim to no chance she will need to go to the NICU with the exception of the med withdrawls. Which I'm hoping she will not have to go thru. The nursing staff from OB/NICU/Ortho have all been amazing and Charlotte and our family will be in all of their hearts tomorrow I'm sure of it.
I'm so glad Charlotte will be able to stay with me until I am discharged with the help of my wonderful hubby and my mom. This will be a learning experience for Travis and I and I have every faith that we will do an amazing job at raising Charlotte into an amazing young woman. I know Travis will be an amazing daddy and that our families will support us thru the next few months which will be rough with my recovery but as a family we will get thru it and come thru stronger than ever. I know that Charlotte will grow up with an amazing sense of family and know how truly important family is because at the end of the day they are the ones that will stand by you and take care of you when you need it most. We are so blessed to have the amazing families that we have and the amazing family we have created together!
I'm so thankful there is an end in sight. As much as I loved being pregnant and feeling Charlotte move around, seeing the ultrasounds and knowing that I had this beautiful little miracle that I could care for I will be happy to have her here finally, and the morning sickness to disappear. And to be able to have my hip surgery in just a few short days then be able to make my way home!! On October 28th I will have been here for 100 days!! Can you believe it?!? I know I can't. I still wonder how I made it to 90 days without loosing my mind. I think it has so much to do with my family and my nurses I knew I could talk to them about anything. They all helped time fly by. I found things to do and things to keep me busy even though there's not so much you can do laying in a bed. But I know after this is all over with it will all be worth it to have me home and be on the road to recovery finally.
Little things to be thankful for tonight are support of others no matter how big or small. Family even if they do drive you crazy sometimes. Sometimes its the craziness that makes you appreciate them just a little bit more. For those of you that are parents appreciate your kids. I bet they drive you the craziest out of anyone but be thankful for them, I know some parents that would give anything to have their children back. So count your blessings every night and appreciate all the little things.
As I finish up for tonight two of my wonderful nurses came in. They made me a scrapbook page for Charlotte's scrapbook. It has beautiful pictures from the baby shower and everyone wrote a nice message to us. I cannot say enough good things about these fantastic nurses they are all amazing and all of them have hearts made of gold! Charlotte will not only be a member of our huge family she will forever be a C6 baby =] (even though we are on B3 now) <3
