[Ben,Logan&Kaitlin'sMommy]

I am 34 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) with my third rainbow baby - but this is the first time that i am carrying a little girl since losing my little girl and I am so scared - I am scared daily that something is going to happen to her.

My doctor scheduled a c-section for August 23rd at 39 weeks and 1 day gestation but i really want her to come at 38 weeks - just because I am so scared.

My mom is giving me a hard time saying that is too early to come - but Kaitlin was 4lbs 14oz at 32 weeks gestation - she should be at least 8-9lbs at 38 weeks gestation - and will be ready to come - we had a lot of problems with Benjamin when he was born at 36 weeks 5 days gestation and spend 6 weeks in NICU so I know she is just worried about that. I had Logan around 39 weeks and I wasn't as scared with that pregnancy because the sex was different.

I am still in a surreal moment because I am 7 weeks further along with Kaitlin then I ever got with Rebecca - so I know that I am probably safe but I am still going crazy and no one understands it.

I am going to ask my doctor at my appt on the 2nd of August if we can have her in 2 weeks just to see what she says - worst case she says no - never hurts to ask though right. This is the same doctor that I had for Rebecca, Benjamin and a bit of Logan and now Kaitlin - so she knows my history.

I have weekly ultrasounds on Kaitlin and she always passes them with flying colors but this momma is still scared daily and no one gets it - i am so stressed out with life in general - she is just an add to it.

sigh
is it the end of august yet so I can hold my little girl?

I know I don't post here very much but I went through this when I was pregnant with Jake because he was the same sex as my Aidan (lost at 26 weeks). I just wanted to offer and I will keep you and your little lady in my T&P that your anxiety stays manageable and she stays healthy and strong and kicks lots to let her momma know she's there.

Kaitlin never fails to let me know she is there - she is so active and I love it.
even though i don't get much sleep at night

my c-section has been scheduled for 08-16-11 at 38 weeks & 1 day gestation

Only a few weeks left. I hope everything goes perfectly and little Kaitlin is perfect and healthy.
