Before and During Surgery

We are getting to leave for the hospital the three Schenk's ready to become four.

Paging Doctor Schenk
Me just being a dork.

During the procedure. Ya I know I'm weird.

waiting

So here I am at 6am in the hotel room drinking my last beerage before I go to the hospital. Beverage of choice COFFEE Yummie.. Everyone else is snoozing away. I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to. My mind is racing a mile a minute thinking about everything. I'm freaking out thinking did I plan enough for Ry and Kerr and Connor. Do I have enough for them to eat at the hotel. Stupid stuff like that. Connor spiked a fever last night which is a little alarming. He felt a lot cooler this morning, but I'm a little nervous he might be coming down with something. Hopefully it was just swimmimg in the pool and not eating like he normally does that he felt a little under the weather.

Yesterday we went to the toy store so Con could pick the baby out a gift it was pretty cute having him try to pick out things for himself and saying they were for the baby. He eventually got a little toy for little Schenk and it's not a racetrack or transformers.:-) He is excited or at least he is acting excited to see the new baby. He wants to help change diapers only pee one's he said I had to change the poopy one's, and I guess that's sound pretty fair.

So now I'm gonna try relax and drink my coffee. In hopes that I show up for my apt.:-)

Baby

I just wanted to tell everyone thanks for the prayers. Little Schenk should be here around 12:30ish. If all goes as planned. I will try to post pics as soon as possible.
We are leaving soon to check into our hotel room and have a relaxing evening together. Thanks again.:-)

Official

Ok, it's official after speaking with my doc today I went ahead and scheduled the C-section. I have had three different doc's tell me the same thing so i guess they might know what they are talking about. The date is going to be Tuesday the 19th we have to be at the hospital at 5:30 so they can get started and have baby schenk here by 7:30. It's early but then I don't have to worry about not being able to eat and I can be out of there early when my three days are up. I pretty nervous about it but after talking to the OB nurse today she said my c-section will be a lot easier to recovery from then the complications I had with Connor. I still am in shock that our family of three is going to be a family of four. WOW.... So unless I go into labor before then we will have a little schenk here on the 19th.... The only downside about it is Ryan can't take any time off work except the day the baby is born. So he will be going to work in Traverse City then coming to the hospital to visit me and baby. Thank goodness for Aunt Kerry she has taken the time off so she can stay with Con man in the hotel when he gets sick of being at the hospital. Thanks Kerr...

Almost Official

Ok, so I went and got a second opinion yesterday about how this little schenk should be delivered. I'm starting to get the feeling that know one is going to tell me what I want to hear. The Doc said if I was his wife he would say get a c-section she would ask why and he would tell her what he told me and that would be that. I think the doc's might think I'm being a little difficult.:-) Ryan has pretty much said "Babe you need to do the C-section." They are basing this on my last delivery. With the complications I had they are afraid if I have a vaginal birth it will do more damage to my body. I had a 4th degree tare which is as bad as it gets and with the scare tissue already there it's a good possibility that it would happen again. Connor also has shoulder dystocia which could have really hurt him. They are afraid of the same thing happening to this little one. Unfortunately there is no way on them knowing if that would happen forsure with this second one. Along with the possibilities that little schenk might have some physical problems that would not help the doc's move little schenk smoothly through the birth canal. WOW I'm totally screwed.:-) I have almost decided to do the C-section and it will be done next Fri. I just can't even believe that this little one is going to be here so soon. I am having a very difficult time with this decision. I mean I'm pretty sure I should have the c-section, but I'm completely SCARED out of my MIND...So maybe there will be a baby next weekend via c-section or maybe I'll just be my stubborn self and say forget it and go for the vaginal birth. Who knows I have until next Wed. to decide. So that's that. On a brighter note I totally pasted chemistry with a B- WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Now it's time to burn some books.:-)

Countdown

Well, little schenk is almost here. I haven't decided if I'm ready or not but then again I really don't have a choice.:-) Names have been a pain. I didn't realize how hard it would be to pick a boy and a girl name. Ry and I have pretty much settled on a boys name but are not forsure on a girls name yet. I have been in a lot of pain lately, but I'm trying not to complain and just do whatever I did before I was preggers. It has been different from Connor, and I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore ready or not. The baby's room is all done and thanks to Ry's fam I already have a stock of diapers, and as a second time mom I know how lucky I am to have this stock. Tuesday I should find out forsure about the c-section. My last appointment with the new doctor was not as promising as I was hoping for. She had pretty much told me a c-section is the way to go. I still haven't accepted it and I'm still hopeful that I can delivery vaginally. Tuesday I have another ultrasound to see how big baby schenk is. Depending on the results that should determine how baby will be delivered. She has put me down on the 19th for either an induction or c-section. So either way baby schenk will be here by the 19th. If it's forsure that I have to have a c-section I'm going to try to up the date because I will need an extra week to recovery, so I can drive myself to school. If not I'm just gonna have to disobey doc's orders.

I feel pretty large and am hoping I don't get any bigger. I don't think my body can handle it. I have only out on 12lbs but I feel HUGE right now. I still can't believe that we are going to be bringing a new schenk home in a couple of weeks. I'm just trying to keep cool and not FREAK OUT!!!!!!!

Finals are done and I passed Chemistry woo hoo. It is such a relief to have that behind me. I'm sure there will be harder classes but seriously Chemistry SUCKED big time. Connor will be going to school this year, and I'm completely freaked out. I can't believe that he is even old enough to go to preschool. I just hope that the changes he will be having to face with the new baby and school he won't feel overwhelmed. I'm setting down this weekend and figuring out one date a week for us to spend quality time with just Connor. I am worried that he might feel a little left out so I just want him to know he is still my number one little man. Well that's about all that is happening right now. Wish us luck..:-)
