So yeah, I've already wrote a post
today but I have much to update y'all on already! Unfortunately a lot
of it has to do with being in the doctors, since poor Olivia had to
go in today for her first ear infection this afternoon. She was
pretty rotten over the last few days, so it kinda makes sense now
that I know she's been in pain, the poor baby :( Her doctor was
booked full today, so we were able to see another one in his same
practice and we absolutely loved her. Even through her pain, Olivia
was so cooperative for this new lady, didn't mind any of the poking
or prodding and was just so damned polite that I couldn't help but
beam with pride that she was mine. She got prescribed an antibiotic
and should be better very soon thankfully, I'm ready to have my happy
baby back! We ran into Aaron and Theresa, O's godparents, while we
were there and they waited with us before she went back which I was
very thankful for, Aaron has a way with Olivia and kept her more calm
than I could at the time which was much appreciated.
After her appointment, Jim had yet
another interview at a place closer to home which would be another
huge blessing for our family. He really wants to add a day job rather
than trading off the one he has now, but being that they're both
over-nighters, he'd have to pick and choose and this opportunity
would definitely be more beneficial if all works out. This new job
would only be about 5 minutes from our new house and would be less
strenuous than the custodial work he does currently so fingers
crossed! He looked so handsome heading down for his interview, those
dimples of his still give me butterflies and I'm not ashamed to say
that I blush every time he flashes me that smile I feel in love with
so long ago!!

We also reconfirmed the c-section date
for January 13th and talked about the maternity center
that I will be delivering at. This is going to be a brand new
facility, I'll literally be one of the first women to have a child
there and they're trying to make it a top of the line ward that
people will be just as excited to visit as the hospital downtown in
Boise that is and will probably always be “the” place to go. This
new facility is supposed to have massage therapists to help with the
after surgery gas pains that often come with c-sections, they'll have
fabulous meals (and WINE?!) for your “after baby” meal and are
going above and beyond with the actual birthing process, especially
when it comes to delivering via Cesarian. The only part I didn't
enjoy about my last section was being kept away from little Livia
while I was being sewn up and till I could wiggle my toes in
recovery. Here, I'll be able to stay with the baby (assuming there
are zero issues she'd need to be taken away for) and be wheeled up to
recover together. That alone has made this hospital choice a
no-brainer, I want and neeeeed that initial bonding time with my
littlest love :)
Soooo with no smooth transition
whatsoever, I think that will just be all for my little update today!
Just keep on counting down with me, we're only FORTY ONE DAYS AWAY!!
