Hey all! I'm pretty uncomfortable and won't be online much in the following week or the rest of this month (except to update I'm sure!).
We are going to end up with a c-section birth afterall. My body's a bit too stressed, and when we did our cartography last night and this morning, i ended up with circulation issues and my heartrate went up and matched the baby's + feeling faint.
So, apparently with him so high up, he's messed up my lung/heart capacity and as large as he is, is giving me circulation issues (as well as issues keeping my weight constant!) -- he's drawing too much from me, so we need to get him out safely for both of us.
I've scared my dr pretty bad, as the problem occurred in a recliner AND while reclined on a bed. I've not had it happen at home, but this scares the living daylights out of me!
Apparently it scared my dear FIL too, he stayed to look after me and the little one today in case we needed any help, and when it came time for my DH to be picked up and get water and stuff - my MIL came home to look after Jonathan, who had just woken from his nap.
So it looks like IF I go into labor, get to hospital post haste (via ambulance) for emergency C - and from what I am gathering, once my DH talks to the Dr, they'll call the hospital and schedule a C for next week. Mom gets here the 12th, so I am trying to keep myself "together" either way (as in, not break down and get depressed about the situation) until then
Just keep us all in your prayers. I have to decide HOW I want the C-section to go, if I have any control over that - since I have some aversions to needles and some issues with my back.
thanks!

I ask The Father to strengthen you so your strength is your little ones through Our Father and keep the Faith in Yeshua our King and ask in His Name to keep both of you from harm and your DH has in him every word and deed from The Father to care for your every need. Also Father comfort her nerves and blood vessels so her body is healed so both yours and your little ones heart rate is strengthen and slowed to normal for health is in His Hands and comfort is in His Heart and Mind for you and your little one as well as your DH and any other that is in your surroundings. May Shalom be your blanket each and everyday upto and after your little one is born.

And flee from the lusts of youth, but pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with those calling on the Master out of a clean heart. But refuse foolish and stupid questions, knowing that they breed quarrels. And a servant of the Master should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient when wronged, in meekness instructing those who are in opposition, lest somehow Elohim gives them repentance unto a thorough knowledge of the truth, and they come to their senses, out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his desire. (2Ti 2:20-26 The Scriptures 1998+)
Praying for the peace and health of you and your precious little one, Hadassah.

Are you still in Europe? HRH was delivered via c-section in Bovaria after I went into labour and she began to get stressed. The Germans's tend to stick to your requests which was cool. I opted against the epidural c-section and went for the general.
Praying all will be well

Hi all! We made it home from the hospital today!!!
Teddy was born with a head circumference of 37cm, length of 54 or 56cm (sorry, fuzzy on the details) and 3,800 grams (8.37 pounds).
He was out within about 5minutes of me having my spinal and being prepped, and my surgery took about 35 minutes or so after that. That was the strangest thing I think I have *ever* been through. I'll have to write it up later, but honestly after we talked with the OB on call and discussed with her the "conditions" before and after - and had the actual surgery and recovery overseen; we've all agreed it was the best decision.
I ran through each scenario over and over Wednesday night and all Thursday before we had our final decision on Friday morning to go through with the operation.
When Teddy arrived, his blood sugar was low - due to the fasting I had to do for 12 hours prior to the operation (I was about to eat my arm, I was SO hungry) - and I heard him cry as soon as he was out, so that was definitely a good sign. I hear his APGAR was 9, 8, 8 -- and the first thing I heard was "He is so handsome, he has dark brown hair just like yours, and lots of it!" and then, "You're very thin again!" which made me laugh of course, as that was the first thing I said when I had Jonathan
I will update more later on the whole ordeal, but suffice to say - that has been the hardest thing I think I've had to do, and it's been very emotional all around.
Thank you all for praying for us - we definitely needed it the entire time. I'm just SO glad to be home, and that I have been able to eat FOOD and TASTE food for the first time in 7 months and it not turn my stomach, and be able to make a 20 minute car ride without getting motion sick, or sick thinking about it. I've been able to think about and plan different food to eat (with gusto!) and not had my tummy turn -- but, my iron levels are still not where they should be - so it's a long road ahead. I look to regain my normal weight and coloring very soon, and hopefully be out and about as much as "normal" was 7 months ago.
Dr's orders are to be up and about in the house, and try my best to get out of doors, get sunlight and just not do "too much" - but to do enough to not have a DVT risk. (and the treatment to prevent that while in hospital was not fun for 5 days! I have
some nasty bruises from the shots in my leg!!! )
He was born on Friday morning at 10:45, though we did end up having to go to the hospital Wednesday night and stayed on bedrest until actual delivery.
Hope to talk to you all soon!
