My surgery is scheduled for this Friday (8/21) at 1:30pm. I am starting to worry about it and can come up with at least 1,000 things that could go wrong with the surgery. This is the nurse talking here. LoL! I am worried about the pain and wether I will have good pain control. I stocked up on chicken and beef broth and soups, because I don't know what my diet will be like post surgery. Ohhhh I don't know. I am such a control freak and the thought of me being put to sleep and losing control is driving me crazy!! Phil is taking a couple of days off to help me with Mady and Callie. I have to pump and dump for 24 hours due to the anesthesia. I am only going to be on pain meds that are compatible with breastfeeding so I don't have to worry about that. I don't know what else to do to prepare. Any suggestions that I might not be thinking about?!?
Mady had her 2 month check up today. She weighed in at 9lbs and 9ozs. Her head circumference is 15 inches, and she is 21 and 1/4 inches long. She is 25 percentile in all measurements which means she is a peanut =o) She got 2 shots plus an oral medicine. She is doing really well with the shots...not too fussy. Everything else is fine. They are thinking about changing her zantac medicine, but we are going to see how she does with a med increase first. She is sleeping about 6 hour stretches at night and eats about every 3 hours during the day.
I'm going back to work on September 13th. However, I have to CPR and NRP on Sept. 9th and 10th. I was planning on going back 2 nights a week, but we won't be able to afford it at first. Its going to be so hard to go back. I never went back to work after I had Callie, so this will be the first time experiencing "going back to work" and leaving Mady at home. Ugh!! I don't even want to think about it.
