The Good News...
Today I have reached 30 weeks! That means our sweet girl will be here in 10 weeks or less. I, of course, am hoping for the "or less" part. I had Cannon early so hopefully Madison will take after her big brother and arrive a few weeks early. Which brings me to the bad news.
The Bad News...
Andrew found out today that his trip to Brazil has been moved back two weeks. That means he will be gone from April 3rd-25th. My due date is May 14th. I had Cannon at 36 weeks. The scenario isn't playing out very well in my head! How sad would it be if my hubby had to miss the birth of his daughter. (Although, I am sure he could handle missing out on the actually delivery part! (: )
I don't know what to think about the whole situation. He really needs to take the opportunity to go on this trip for work. It is not something that everyone gets to do and he has been chosen twice to go to Brazil. It is a really good thing for him, but at the same time how in the world will I survive 3 weeks without him especially so close to Madison's due date. Everyone is telling me not to worry blah, blah, blah, but none of them are in my boat! I think everyone would be feeling just as panicked as I am if they were in my situation. Plus I am pregnant and very emotional, irrational, so this is basically like the end of the world to me, okay! :)
I do have wonderful family and friends who have offered to help me out, so I know things will work out, but I just want my hubby. Is that too much to ask?!
We have a lot going on in the next couple of months! I have a another baby shower in Oklahoma next weekend. Then when we get back to Texas my MIL is staying with me for some of her spring break and we will get Mady Jane's room put together! I ordered her crib and they said it should be delivered that week! I am so excited for the things to come in the next few months, but very anxious as well!

I get how you're feeling. I would be upset too if it was very possible my husband would miss our baby's birth. I need his support!! I also hate how people tell you "not to worry" when something big deal is bothering you. It doesn't help and makes it feel like they are brushing aside and belittling the situation. I get real bothered when people tell me not worry about going back to work and putting my kids in day care. It feels like the end of the world to me. Anyways, all that being said - if your husband does miss the birth of Mady it will be upsetting, but in the big picture it really isn't a *huge* deal. As long as she is here and healthy and he comes home to love on her - it will all be okay. But I will definitely hope that she holds off until he gets back! It's great you have family who will be able to help.
ReplyDeleteGirl, I know how worried you must feel! The fact is, no one knows what could happen in the next couple of months. It's scary to have that unpredictable feeling. We'll just pray that the right thing will happen and that Andrew will be here for Madison's birth! I know it sucks that he'll be gone for so long right before your due date!! Is there a higher probability that she will come early since Cannon did?
