so I go to the doctor this morning. My appointment is at nine, and in the Roos household, that's EARLY. Bryan usually leaves for work around 8-8:30, but Hayzen and I are not usually fully functioning until 9. Hayzen was goes to "help" daddy at work while I go to my doctor visits because his work and my doctor are literally four minutes apart. However, I told B he was not allowed to leave for work until he helped me get Hayzen ready because that's how pathetic I am these days. Hayzen being woken up before 8+ a huge pregnant mommy= recipe for meltdowns.
Fortunately I only slept through the snooze button for 10 minutes and was able to somewhat get ready before it was time for B to get H up and moving. Well... up anyways. So I get ready and go into hayzen's room and not only has he quietly allowed Daddy to dress him, but he's happily peeing in the potty. REALLY?! It takes me 30 minutes before I can even get him to SPEAK in the mornings. But whatever... he's ready. So daddy leaves, mommy eats and we head to Starbucks on our way. The second we turn into the drive through Hayzen says " mommy need coffee." First of all, how does he recognize where we are, (perhaps I visit starbucks too often) and second of all, YES mommy needs coffee I haven't slept well since about week 30.
Finally I've had coffee, Hayzen is at daddy's work, and mommy is in the waiting room. Of course I have to pee. I go to the bathroom. Blood. Awesome. Exactly what I needed to see... I immediatly text B. His response" that's not good." So I text another friend who more rationally tells me it's probably my cervix thinning. I try to calm down because I know that if I get a high bood pressure reading along with the blood it's bed rest for me. Been there, done that, no thanks. Fortunately I get called back quickly. They weigh me. No weight gain. Normally this is cause for celebration for me, but I have only gained 16 pounds so far and Doctor is starting to get pissy about it since we are trying to get the birth weight up. I am eating enough. What more does he want. Anyways, Doctor comes in and of course has to do an internal exam to see where the blood is coming from and if I am dilated. I HATE this. I am having another c section and I actually find the thought of that less violating than the vaginal exams.
So. Doctor says, cervix is closed, just thinning which is the cause of the blood. (thank you friend for recognizing that). Then he says, " lots of clear watery fluid, did your water break?"
Um... no?! So then I get to cough, REALLY hard while he tests the fluid with litmus paper. Water did not break, Thank GOD. So then he tells me that the fluid is a yeast infection (symptomless fortunately) and that it will probably linger until baby comes due to hormones and ph levels and something else... (told u it was graphic!) AWESOME.
So in closing, dear baby, after next Wednesday, please come into this world. I am done being pregnant. Forever. And I kinda wonder what you are. And I want my body back!!!!
