Unless a miracle happens, which we know is possible, we will be meeting our baby boy in the middle of May. We are giving my placenta one more chance to move away from my cervix by next week. If it fails to move we have already scheduled our C-section so that we will be meeting Ryker 2 weeks early. I am so greatful that if there were to be a complication in my pregnancy that it is this, because this has everything to do with me and not our baby. If I were to go into labor my body is in danger not really his. This is why it is important not to go completely to week 40. Anthony and I made the decision however to try to go as long as our doctor would allow us to go so that Ryker can "cook" as long as possible. So mark your calendars, Ryker Anthony will be here May 18th!
I have had a few scares the last few weeks, with spotting and cramping. Yes, my big scare came while Anthony was in Texas for business. He said his worse fear came true when I told him I was going to the doctor. Thank goodness for my mom who came with me, and calmed Anthony down all at the same time! I guess this is just the beginning of me worrying about a baby! Luckily everything is ok, and this is to be expected with Placenta Previa. I am so thankful for the doctor that we have to ease my mind everytime I call or see him, I am kind of known for worrying. =)
So as much as I would love to sit here and say I am bummed I have this "condition," I choose to see this as a great thing. We have learned the word patience through this journey God has put us on, and maybe this is his way of saying we don't have to wait as long this time! I get to meet our baby boy that we have been dreaming about for years, early! How can I complain about that! Move over labor pains and ripping... hello pain killers and stitches! =)
