Let's have this kid already!
Today might be the day! I saw the doctor yesterday, Monday, and he said that I have started to dialate, not much, but some and he wants to induce on Tuesday, today! So I packed, got everything ready, woke up and called the hospital like I was supposed to and well, every bed at Kadlec is full at the moment. So, all day Cory, Cadence and I have been sitting around the house waiting for the call. It is now 10 minutes to 4 pm and I am beginning to wonder....hmmm! I did make one outing today, to the bank and then to Rite-aid. While I was there I checked my blood pressure, which has been of some concern lately! Yep! I think it is time to get the kid out! 143 over 104! Yikes! My doctor might just c-section this kid out after seeing that kind of blood pressure! Either way, the kid is going to come out and it is going to be painful! So, here goes! I don't know that I have ever written anything with so many exclamation points!
Ok, those of you with two or more kids, did you ever fell "funny" about having the second or third. Like maybe you were abandoning the first and a little overwhelmed with the feeling that the first might not know how much you love them once the second comes along? I might just be crazy right now, but man, these thoughts keep bugging me! Will I be able to do this? It doesn't help either that Cadence has maybe the worst cold that she has had since she was born and is having a hard time sleeping, eating and breathing and it is making me wild to think that I have to leave her feeling so awful! And will she be well enough to come to the hospital to see baby and will she have to go back to the doctor for more medicine and if so will my mom be able to take her and....it just goes on....
I probably won't be back on-line for a while but will try to post pictures of the new baby soon. If you read this, please pray for a quick, "painless", and safe delivery! I am pretty nervous right now!

HI.
I just saw a link to your blog, from Lindsay's and Shannon's, and I just wanted to say #1. Adorable Tummy Pictures and #2. I SO, So, So felt like you are feeling when I was getting ready to have my second baby. I really wondered if I could ever love another child as much as I did my first. I couldn't imagine it. I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to balance them both, and... Well, you know what I mean. And, the second I laid eyes on him, I realized, it dosn't matter how many kids you have, you just have more and more love to give them. I have never, again wondered or worried about it. And now I have three. And, guess what? I love them all just the same, and none of them feel "put out" by the others. They all KNOW that I love them the best! :)
Best of luck for a safe, happy and "painless" delivery!
Yeah!!!! It's time for baby!!! Can not wait to see 'it' ;)
...and every single thing you are feeling about child #1 is so natural...but goes away the instant baby #2 is born.
praying for 'painless' (whatever) delivery!
Wow... so many intense emotions... so "normal" (whatever that is). It will be fun to see this new baby!
I completely understand what you are saying about your fears with having the second baby. I cried when Kyler came to visit because I just felt like I already wasn't able to give him what he needed. I still wonder sometimes if having the second baby so soon made things difficult for him because he wasn't able to get enough attention from me when he really needed it. However, when I see them playing together now and see how much they absolutely adore each other, I know that it is a great thing to have siblings. You will definitely be able to provide enough and love for both children and you will give them both what they need. They both just need to know what you think is great about them and need to feel like they are the favorite at different times. When I worry that I am playing favorites with one child I think about the times that the other one got the special attention and it helps me remember that they each just need their own time. The first couple of months, for me, were the most difficult, but once you can get into a schedule it all gets better. I sure hope that Cadence is feeling better. I hope your recovery is quick and easy. I can't wait to see the new baby!
Okay, anxiously waiting for a picture of little miss C.
