I went to see the obstetrician.
Because of where we live and the complications I've had with my reproductive system and previous deliveries, the obstetrician thinks that I should live in the city (2 hours away) for the last two weeks before my due date.
This is a big deal.
I have three active boys, a husband that works here in town and a million things to do before the baby comes. Also, Kobe was 12 days overdue. If this one is that overdue, that means I'll be there for about a month!
Dwayne asked me how I felt about it and I was trying hard to hold back tears.
I am large, tired and can't physically manage the children on my own for that long. The older two are fine...potty-trained, not too many no temper tantrums, sleep well.
Zane is another story. He is so busy. Really busy. Does not sit still EVER busy.
Dwayne took one look at me and said, "I think I should keep Zane in town. He can go to Mrs. Z's when I'm at work and he and I will hang out after work."
My gut reaction was "NO!" I don't want to be away from him. I love him and want him right there with me. But after thinking it through, I think it's best. The two of them will have some great bonding time and the older children and I will get to enjoy some last-minute-before-baby-comes bonding too.
We will enjoy trips to the library, swimming lessons and some quiet time to prepare for babe.
And, who knows, maybe baby will be a little early.

Ohhh... so hard to make those decisions. Praying that the time away goes reeeeeeaaaaaaaaly quickly!
Those are some big decisions-You will make it through this!!!
:)
Wow! That would be a hard thing to do! I hope that you won't have to stay there for too long!
WOW, praying for you. I'm just about in tears for you here. You will manage and you will have great times with the big boys, and Zane will have times with daddy that he wouldnt have had otherwise.
I think the decision for Zane to stay at home while the others go with you is a good one. I know it's hard. I remember when my babies were born I stayed away from the family for a week or two and I really enjoyed the time for myself. However, I didn't get any alone time otherwise and I realize now how much I needed it. But we all survived and there were many, many good times. God bless and care for you all.

thinking of you, hope the transition is not too hard and your current babe loves his mommy and will be okay with dad for a while.
