I have to write this post because you know what is going on and otherwise there would be a rather large hole in my commentary, but I'm not looking forward to it.
I'm going to keep it short and tell you some good news in it's own post right after. That's my plan.
We had our reduction today. I was extremely anxious leading up to it. There are so many different emotions swirling around inside of me but beforehand they were primarily anxiety and a little sense of doing something "bad." Now that it's over, the anxiety has been replaced by excitement and the bad by sad. I'm sorry these are such simple words for such complex feelings, but it's the best I can do. I am extremely relieved that this is over and I am ready to move on.
I could go into more detail, but I really don't want to. But I will say that the procedure was pretty brief and not very painful. If you have any specific questions, leave your email or your question in the comments and I will definitely give you more information.
I am supportive of you Mrs. G! =) I'm glad that your anxiety is gone. Still praying for you and your precious baby. Thank you for sharing that the reduction happened today. I have been trying to keep up with your situation (however I've been having a hard time myself the past month.)
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you would have posted about it. I was worried about how it would all go but glad to hear that you are safe and the procedure turned out the way it was supposed to. I don't know much about the procedure itself but I can only imagine it was intense.
ReplyDeleteHappy and sad for you all at the same time today. I know you did what you feel is best. Get some rest and then start new and embrace your pregnancy and your baby.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted. Been thinking about you and was hoping that everything went well. Take the time you need to process all these complex emotions and to heal. Going through this process has been hard for you both and you'll need some time to heal. And remember that you are supported. Sending love and light.
