Ready yet?


I'm about 33 weeks into my pregnancy now. Vincent's kicks are getting more and more HUGE everyday! I have to say, feeling my son move around in my belly is the best feeling in the world! Although I love to feel him move around.. I am starting to get the whole "ready to be done" feeling. It's getting more and more uncomfortable to move around. SLEEPING has become the hardest thing to do. As soon as I get perfectly comfortable I have to get up to go to the bathroom and this game last all night. Last week we had another ultrasound. This ultrasound confirmed what we already knew, Vincent IS a boy and he has Achondroplasia. The only difference was at this ultrasound a doctor came in and had a talk with us about scheduling a C-Section. This was a little bit of a disappointment to me. My entire pregnancy I have been so excited and preparing myself for a natural birth. I felt that as a women I earned and deserved to feel what it's like to delivery a baby vaginally. Yes, I know birth is painful. But I believe the pain is something I have earned. I am accepting now more and more everyday that the C-Section is in the best interest for Vincent and me. I am terrified of the surgery but with my Husband by my side I know we can get through anything. Some more unfortunate news about the C-Section is I will no longer be with my current Doctor. She explained to me that she is going to find a specialist to refer me to for the rest of my pregnancy and the surgery. I was very sad about this. I have been with her my entire pregnancy and she is awesome! It's difficult for me to accept the fact that I have to open up my life and my baby's life to a stranger. It will be okay.
Mike (myhusband) and I returned Thursday from a trip to Wallops Island, VA! It was a great trip! We were there visiting our dear friend Mark and Parker. We actually met in Mark and Parker's Wedding... While we were there, Parker painted to belly and took some great picrures! She is such and amazing artist! We also had a chance to record some of The Setts music with Mark.. Thank you Mark!
