We Have a Date!

Finally! My doctor has scheduled my C Section for February 17! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been on bedrest now for 13 weeks. I have had some ups and downs, but now I am truly getting excited to have this baby! You can learn a lot about yourself (and your husband for that matter) by spending 13 weeks on bedrest. I learned that I really do like a clean house. And my need to control that. I always want to get up and do dishes, laundry, pick toys up, etc. And I have learned that I have a husband that you just have to tell him to do it. In the ideal world, he would just do it, but he will do anything I tell him. (almost anything) I learned that TV during the day is all CRAP! I learned that when you have nothing else to do, you can finish a good book in day. I learned that it is not a good idea to watch the Food Network when you are on bedrest because then you just want to eat all day. I learned that when you call people to catch up, you really have nothing "new" to tell. So I quit calling. I learned that showering is sometimes optional when you lay around all day. I learned how to knit baby caps. I learned that the world keeps going even though I am not a part of it right now.
So here's to February 17. It means a new baby, new freedoms, and a lot more chaos! Bring it on!
