60 days and counting

Yes, thats right. Only 60 days to go and that is if I go to full term. That is a bit of a scary thought for me especially when I consider all that is still left to be done. The wainscotting needs to be put up, painting needs to be done, crib assembled, bedding STILL needs to be picked out, I now have 2 showers to attend 2 weekends in a row (Im looking forward to that!), furniture put in its place, all clothes need to be washed and put away, hospital tour & paperwork still needs to be done, birth plan needs to be written and I still need to find an outfit I like to bring her home from the hospital. Those are just the things I can think of off the top of my head. Lots to do!

We had planned to do the wainscotting on the 14th but there has been a major wrench thrown into our schedule. Last week we learned that Todd will have to have surgery on his sinuses. Quite by accident during an MRI he had done in an attempt to rule out possible reasons he has been having ringing in his ears, they discovered he has a mucocell under his right eye. Unfortunately, that didnt have anything to do with the ringing. So, the ENT put him on a high does of antibiotics hoping to shrink it then sent him in for a CAT scan. We found out that the mucocell didnt even so much as budge but we also learned that it is pushing into his eye socket as well as his brain cavity area. That wasnt very reassuring. He had sinus surgery 2+ years ago and the DR who had done that surgery didnt do a very good job and that is being generous to say the least. On top of going in and removing the mucocell, the ENT is also going to have to repair the damage done before as well as several other things that the other DR was supposed to have done but didnt. We had prepared for this possibility and decided it would be smarter to get it done ASAP before the baby is born instead of waiting until after. Now that we knew the mucocell was pushing into his eye and brain and could burst at any time, we knew we didnt have much choice. I am beyond nervous and am struggling to keep my perspective on the situation. I find myself especially at night lying there in bed watching him sleep and crying with worry. This is going to be an especially difficult week for us, waiting for Friday to arrive and wishing it never would. Tomorrow is Todd's pre-op appointment as well as my OBGYN appointment (ironically at the same exact time, across the street from each other), Ill post an update as soon as we know more.
