oh wow this puts it in perspective!

So I had a great appointment today! I absolutely love my doctor! He's so amazing and makes me feel so comfortable! He asked me how I was doing with the stint and how often I'm taking my pain pills. I explained to him only once a day when needed. He looked at me like I was crazy! He said he is so impressed with how well I'm doing. He said unless absolutely necessary he always recommends pregnant women not get stints because it causes so much pain they almost have to take them out immediately. He told me I'm a special case and the best he has seen! (Yay body!) He also told me we will leave the stint for now, "why wake the sleeping giant?" Were his words! He's right minimal pain, I say leave it!
We also talked more about labor! The goal is to keep me pain free and as little pushing as possible. He laughed and told me I was an odd ball! He said " its not like I can look back at the last 20 cases like you and say, ok this is what works! There are no cases like you!" Lol! Then he told me so calmly looking at his papers " well lets get through the next 10 weeks and if all looks good and he's ready, you're ready, and I'm ready we can do this!" Uh? Lump in my throat! The realization of this actually happening was crazy! Exciting but crazy!
I was sitting there in the Dr office and had a moment of thought: I am about to become a mommy to a real, living, breathing child. Not just an imagination or dream but in a matter of weeks my blessing will be resting in my arms. I am so overwhelmed with love at the thought of this miracle! My heart wont stop smiling!
The only poo poo thing at my appointment is that we found a trace of bacteria in my urine, which could lead to a bladder or worse kidney infection. I am on antibiotics to prevent one, because with a stint those can be a problem. So we are going to do further test with that bacteria and see if it grows. If it does in the test then we gotta prevent an infection if it doesn't then it means my antibiotics are keeping it down!
So with all of this I am spinning like a top! So much to do in a short amount of time but man, I can't wait for it to get here!
I feel so blessed and I'm not going to lie I feel a sense of pride whenever a doctor tells me I'm an odd ball or I have gone beyond expectation! I wear it like a badge! If you ask me I am not disabled and I do not have a disability. I have a story, and and challenges that I will always land on top of!
