Default Just Two more weeks

Just two more weeks till our little baby will be born.
I am really excited but nervous. I've thought and repacked our diaper bag ...just can't make my mind up what I need or want to take to the hospital. (I have my camera's tho)

I am worried about our daughter, I was going to have my parents keep my daughter while we are at the hospital the few days after birth but I decided that I'm going to get a hotel and keep her with me. (she will be 2 hours from me if she stays with them) I am going to go spend the two or three nights while she's in the hospital at the hotel with my daughter. Then we'll have a place to go relax a bit and de-stress if things get to be to stressful at the hospital . I just don't think I can deal without my little girl being gone with my parents. She's my sanity. Think I'm wrong? I mean I want to stay in the hospital with the baby to but I will be there all day long. It will be hard to leave the hospital but it will just be from late night till early morning and only for a couple days. I'm having a hard time deciding HOW this is gonna work. I want my daughter to be just as involved in this as we are and get to spend time there also with him. I want to do the right thing but I don't want my daughter freaking out either. We live a hour from the hospital so I can't just run home and my parents live a hour from me. So that's 2 hours and I don't have anyone else that can keep her. I guess I don't want anyone to think I'm horrible for staying at night in a hotel while the baby is still in the hospital. I even told my husband that he could stay at the hospital if he wanted to. I just have her to think about too.

There is so much to think about. We have to wait 72 hours after birth before the papers will be signed. That's another thing I don't know what to do. They will probably be released from the hospital at 48 hours. Do we just bring the baby home with us or say something about it, how do I handle that with them? They don't have anything for the baby or anything and I really want to bring him home after birth, so what would you do in this situation. We'll be going the morning after she's released unless they don't release her for 72 hours to go before the judge.

Also hubby is suppose to take them to see the lawyer today (Monday) and the BF doesn't want to go. He's about to panic over this lawyer. I'm like you gotta do it, that's why you can here. BM is just fine with it. She's like it's no big deal he isn't a bad guy it will be alright etc.

I'm so sorry I'm rambling on and on, I'm just so nervous.

Todaly (monday) go to lawyer......Tuesday we go to the Dr.....Weds I have a appt to take them to...then we'll have the weekend...then next week sign up for hospital stay, go to Dr....have the weekend and then the baby will be here MONDAY MORNING!!!!!

Oh this is just making me sooo nervous!!! 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy that's an awful lot to think about! So stressful and I was only reading not living it! lol

i would hope you are able to take him right after he is released from the hosptital-is that how it usually works? I would be afraid to let him go with them especially since that BF seems to be waffling a bit. He sounds so scary to me from all you've said about him.

I'm hoping demora or another cyster who has been a BM will come by and give some insight for you. Since she has been in the mom's shoes she can give you another side of this and I hope that'll help you.

As for Desi...you do what you have to do to keep her life as 'normal' as you can. I know it's a hard decision but if you think it's easier for her to be with you that's what you should do--but it will be such a loong day in the hospital for her. Can your parents come to you and take her for a few hours during the day?

Sending you big hugs! ((((LISA)))))

Wow it just sounds like such a horribly stressful situation! Does your lawyer know what usually happens? I really think it's a state by state things b/c of the different laws in every state. I wouldn't want to baby to leave w/ them either b/c of the way the b/f has been acting. Why wouldn't he want to go to the attorney, is he a criminal and thinks they're going to find out and arrest him? It just doesn't make any sense to me... I thought he wanted this...

2 more weeks...

I would definitely call your lawyer and find out if he knows whether you can take the baby home with you when they are released from the hospital, as that would be the ideal situation.
You're getting so close, I'm so excited for you!
