I am starting to believe.
We met with my consultant (doctor) today for our final appointment. We got to see Frostina on his tiny little machine and she's still doing great. Head down finally after spending most of this pregnancy transverse. Not that it matters since I'm having a C-section, but the consultant said her position will make it easier to get to her which is good. In addition we got to hear her heartbeat which is always music to my ears.
We went over the procedure and schedule for Friday. We have to be at the hospital pretty early in the morning but that's just as well because I'm sure we won't get much sleep on Thursday night. I asked all my questions and signed the necessary consent forms.
And that's it. We're done. The only thing left to do is get through the next 2 days and then deliver this baby!
Yikes!
Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you are an expat living far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. I am now back in the USA and the proud parent of two daughters, born using two different egg donors. "Frostina" and "Olea" are the loves of my life and I feel so grateful for the amazing women who donated their eggs and made my family possible.
praying for an uneventful delivery.

ReplyDeleteSo happy for you (and envious that you meet your baby so soon!). Wishing you all the best.
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my thoughts for a smooth delivery. You are one of four deliveries I am following this week and I am praying for all smooth deliveries and healthy take home babies.
ReplyDeletePraying for a safe and smooth delivery!
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you. You deserve your little rainbow so very much. You didn't deserve anything that happened before, and I know you'll be so much happier when your healthy little girl is in your arms.
ReplyDeleteWOW... wonderful news :)) So so exciting :) Thinking of you and Frostina with all my heart over the next few days xoxo
ReplyDeletePraying for a smooth, uneventful delivery and a beautiful take home baby
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well during the delivery and after as well! May I ask the reason as to why C.section was scheduled so early? Was the reason Frostina being trasverse? I'm 38weeks today and my baby boy is still trasverse at this point, but I'm still hoping for a normal delivery.
ReplyDeleteI am praying so hard for you with every ounce of everything in me. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!!!!! Thoughts are with all of you...
ReplyDeletewoo - hoo!

ReplyDeleteCannot canNOT wait for the post on the other side of this surgery. Two days is both nothing and forever - will be waiting with bated breath...
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking so many of us on the ride. You've been a huge support and comfort within my own journey, reassuring me that I'm not insane or off-kilter or anything other than a normal woman who's been through hell and wants so badly to hold her healthy, living baby, no matter the mental/emotional/physical cost.
Hope you keep blogging, would love to know how it's going. There will still be moments of processing and grieving and conflicting emotions as we navigate life with two very different parenting experiences, and I'm confident you'll describe them with the same vulnerability, truth and aplomb that has made your blog so wonderful all this time.
Good luck good luck good luck!!!
