OMG we are scheduled for induction on March 11 - that's in SIX WEEKS ... Exactly ... Am I ready? Will I ever be ready?!?!
I'm so anxious to have E here but at the same time super freaked that I won't know what to do. How bizarre is that?! I have killer maternal instincts and have had so much "practice" with A & B that I should be a pro, right? Gosh I sure hope so! We have the basic necessities - well not really, could use some wipes and a few more diapers and clothes - so if he were to come now, we'd be prepared. But I hope he stays and bakes a little longer!!
Last Thursday I met with Dr A (high risk) and they mentioned he is measuring smaller than they anticipated. I guess docs automatically assume overweight and diabetic mother produces a moose? Anyway, I was concerned (not so much anymore) that he was measuring small. In fact, he was measuring smaller than the appointment two weeks earlier. I really hate when D doesn't go with me to these appointments!!! E is measuring at the low end of the normal scale - like I even know what the heck that means?!?!?! - and in the two weeks since his last appointment had dropped from somewhere in the 90th percentile to somewhere in the 25/35/45 (I really need to pay attention!) percentile. I've been told to increase the diet in my protein, seriously control my blood sugars, rest as much as possible (as in putting my feet up) and I've been doing so since Thursday. The reason I say I'm not concerned as much anymore is because they scheduled me for a 2 week appointment so obviously they feel I can make some improvements? God, I hope so!
Can't help but feel like a failure. I've known the risks and still didn't do 100% what I should do. My biggest fear is that something will go wrong and it will be my fault. I can't knock that thought out. When he doesn't move for a while, I freak out. Sure, he sits towards my back and I'm fat so I can't always feel him but it's almost like he doesn't want me to feel him. Stinker!!
Things with the BFF are a bit better. Had a convo and we're trying. Hopefully it works for the best.

You're doing very good and I believe in you. As for the BFF, if she doesn't have kids, this might just be hard for her to understand. I personally have all but lost contact with one of my closest friends because she's not a mom and I am and blah blah blah. It all comes out in the wash.
Gurl....you are getting so close to the BIG DAY!!!!! I'm so excited to hold that little ball of cuteness and see our boys together!!!!!
