2 Weeks and counting...

I had another appointment today and it turns out that I also have yet another yeast infection. Gross! I know. This is actually my 5th or 6th one in the last few months. I've done every treatment known to man (or should I say woman?) and it takes care of it for like a week and then it comes back. So, now on to more treatments. The problem is that it is not safe to have a natural birth when you have an infection because the baby is at risk of getting the infection as well. I've read some accounts where the baby ends up blind because of a yeast infection in their eyes. So, they said that if it doesn't go away by my next appointment they may have to do a C-Section. Which I don't want, but want to do what's best for my baby. So, pray that all goes well. The other concern they have is that while I am having constant, hard braxton hicks, I am not progressing. They are worried that it's because of the infections. So, that's the other reason why I might have a cesaerean as well. This child is causing problems before she's even here!! Anyway, that's the update and while I am very depressed about it all (I even got a little teary-eyed when they told me I hadn't progressed at all) I am totally resigned to the fact that this baby will not be coming anytime soon. In the meantime, I'm off to scrub my kitchen floor and clean out the playroom. Something to do while I twiddle my thumbs and drum my fingers waiting for this child to make her grand entrance into the world!

Oh Cara that sucks! I hope it will clear up in time for delivery. I've never had a section, but I hear the recovery is long. Will you have help if that happens?
