At my last appointment with the fetal specialist, we discussed several things that may be upcoming (nothing serious – just various tests). She said that I would see her in 2 weeks (where we would discuss a plan of action) and my OB in between for my already scheduled appointment. I was just a little excited about the fact that I would only have 1 appointment each week for at least the next 2 weeks. Ahhhhh. I could take a bit of a breather!
But just a few days ago, I started playing phone tag with my OB’s nurse. I finally talked to her in person this morning. Basically, our fetal specialist discussed her care plan for me with my OB, and, therefore, they needed to give me my new appointment schedule. What??? Apparently, I need to be undergoing Non-Stress Tests (NST) at least twice a week from this point on (in addition to my already scheduled appointments!). It’s funny how scheduling these non-stress tests has all of a sudden caused me loads of stress.
In addition, we are trying to figure out our plans for the move to Birmingham, what is the best thing for Emerson, finishing in-progress projects at home, etc. I think back to all the things we were doing the same weekend that we checked into the hospital for Emerson’s arrival (eating at our favorite cafe for the last time as just 2, packing her baby bag, hanging her name letters, etc.)…And how we won’t be doing that this time around. Basically, how we leave it in 2 weeks is how it will be in 10 when we return home. And that is the most stressful thought imaginable.
