Worry Induced Insomnia

Nothing like a lot of worry to top off the pregnancy insomnia...my amniocentesis is scheduled for 9 AM tomorrow morning and, pending what they find, Cole will be brought out Tuesday morning. I've researched amniocenteses and I am not usually one to be afraid of needles, but this is a bit concerning to me. What if the baby moves as they are withdrawing the fluid and he ends up being punctured? What if it causes an infection in my amniotic sac? What if I jerk during the process and they have to do it again? I realize I'm being paranoid...but these things keep playing through my mind. Luckily Keith will be there with me. He is my rock when I need him...thank goodness I have him!

Countdown to Cole....

Countdown: 8 days to amniocentesis and tentative 9 days to cesarean section. Very nervous about amniocentesis. Will Cole be ready? Sarah and Dr. Furr seem to think he will be based on current placenta calcification and head size indicating maturity. He practices breathing even when calm...very determined baby boy! I wonder if he will look like Emma and will he have as much hair? Will Emma take to him? I am anxious about getting pneumonia again...I really hope it does not happen again. Another worry is losing my breast milk after a few months like last time. I have hope it will all work out and look forward to meeting Cole!
