Yeah, I know...I read and read and read and the morning of the surgery on the way to the hospital I felt like I was totally clueless. But, you manage and it all works out beautifully. There were no childbirth classes or books on the subject for THOUSANDS of years and we've managed to nearly overpopulate the planet. You'll do wonderfully!!
As far as TTC next time. we have no idea what will hapen. I sincerely hope we don't have to go through what we went through this time, but we'll see. I pray we'll have an easier time of it because I'm honestly not sure I could do all of this again. It's kind of like knowing the really super scary bit and deciding whether or not to see the movie again...I can't say whether I'd do it again. You'll have to ask me in a year...that's when we're going to try this all over again.
The only bummer about the whole ordeal was the discussion I had with my OB at my last visit. We were talking about baby #2, and he said not to wait too long...so we discussed timetables...then he said I'd have to schedule hysterectomy soon thereafter. I knew that. We had discussed it before, so it wasn't anything new. But, it all just sounded so final. And I suddenly felt so robbed of the family DH and I wanted. It was the same feeling I had when we were told we were infertile. So, that was a bit of a bummer, and I felt very badly for being upset about it since we were blessed with a baby and hopefully another. Even as I write this, I feel selfish about thinking that way. But, I guess I got a little glib about the infertility after the baby.
So, toss your book away, put your feet up and do the baby's laundry...you're tremendously well prepared and you're going to be a great Mommy! And, the nice thing is the baby's detergent smells just as good months from now as it did the very first load you ever do!
Have a great night!!
