21-11-2009 - Just another day in the life of me I guess.

My mood while writing this blog: Excited.. scared.

---

Well, today was one for the record books. Everything started fine today.. Nothing going on that was out of my norm ( I was in a really great mood, the babyshower is tomorrow) Then all of a sudden BOOM! I start to lose my eyesight. If anyone has ever had a migraine then you might know what I am talking about. I didnt get a head ache but my arms and face started to go numb. I call the doctor and rush to L&D. They hook me up(and by now I cant see ANYTHING) take blood, check everything out do tons of labs and what do they find wrong.. Nothing. yep NOTHING. Im still laying in the bed trying to figure why and the hell I cant see anything and feel half of my face. my midwife (great woman) comes in sits down and starts to talk to me about stress... and in return I tell her Ive been handling the stress great now.. my meds have been helping me and blah blah blah and then she says, Your mind is handling the stress better, but your body isn't. Your making a baby and dealing with every other thing you have got going on. Although you feel like you are doing ok your body isn't... Its breaking down. Calling it quits so to speak. then she giggles and said this is not the first time she has had this happen to someone. after she said that I break down into tears saying Im not crazy! I cant see.. and your telling me there is "nothing wrong"! I dont get it. She looks at me and says there is nothing wrong in medical terms.. but you could get scaned and find out what it is and sit here all night, or you can take my word for it and trust me when I say its your body taking on too much and telling you to stop doing what ever it is your doing.. my reply, I dont do anything but fold clothes and eat.. 'yes, jessy... I know, she says... but your taking on a lot of stress( and yea maybe I am.. ) Its like your body is on hyper drive all the time... So after I calm down, I ask her what now.( still not seeing anything) Now, she says, we work on getting the baby out. Not today i want to wait until your 39 weeks just to be safe. The baby is fine and will be fine.. its you we are concerned about. I dont think you can handle being pregnant anymore (your body that is) while trying to handle everything else that is going on. So if you promise to take it easy (how much easier can it get) and just know that your body will shut down again if you dont, (great now other then every other person telling me to chill out if my body thinks it had tooooo much its going to shut off the lights... really... no seeing for me.. crazy right!) I promise that I will have the baby out of you on Dec 7th... Now I want you to sit up, eat and drink something and when you can see again you can go home. Thnks doc.. I say in a smart ass tone. and her reply.. Jessy.. shut up( i have a really close relationship with this woman.. more of a best friend then anything else... we go out to eat and what not..

So now that I can see... I have to tell my boyfriend that we will be having our baby Dec 7th. No later.. maybe sooner if he wants to come out on his own... (yea right). I got to the docs on Tuesday to discuss what has to be done b4 the 7th. I have two things I to do.. One, baby shower, two 3D ultrasound then let the count down begin... This has been a very long road.. This lil guy has for sure giving me more trouble then my other two have.. I will keep you all posted... wish me and my body luck =) i need it.
