I get it…It’s not up to me
So, Friday was AWFUL…no question about that. (And, the jerks made me get my platelets checked AGAIN while I was there).
But, I get it. It’s not up to me. I can’t make plans. It’s totally in His hands.
My friend invited me and #1 (and hubby) over for dinner. #1 and I went right after work and daycare. We hung out. We are very lucky to have friends.
Hubby called at 5:10 saying he was wrapping things up and starting to head home. We were busy with our combined three kids, and before I knew it, it was 7pm. Hubby still wasn’t there. He called. The car battery is dead. It won’t take a charge. They are driving around (he and his boss) looking for an auto parts store. Then, they realize, they need to get the car out of the garage, or it will be locked up all weekend.
They go push the car out of the garage and into another lot, and head back out in search of a battery. They get a battery ($75) , bring it back, and still no luck.
So, our friends call a tow truck, the tow truck ($65) comes and gets the car and brings it to the shop, and our friend picks up hubby and brings him back to their house.
During all of this, I find out that my platelets were only 91,000…back down again….down so low that I can’t have an epidural if I went into the hospital Friday night. Down so low, that even if we would have made it to the hospital, they probably would have sent me home.
So, after the awful news at the doctor, we have low platelets, a car that won’t work, and we’ve spent about $150!!! They fixed the car Saturday morning (yet another $175), and here I sit still very preggo.
But, I’m trying to get it….I can’t make plans. I have to leave it up to God! He is in charge, He is the boss.
So, thank you all for your support, love and prayers. It really means a lot.
I’ll keep you all updated. As of tonight, I have an appointment for Tuesday, but I have a feeling because of the low platelets, they are going to want to see me tomorrow. Wish me luck.
Thanks for letting me vent. Happy posts HAVE to be coming soon. It’s inevitable!
Hang in there.
I am praying for you.
Praying for a happy, healthy baby and high platelets.
you’re in our prayers!!
I know all about the whole plan thing and God steering a different course…I am so glad you posted because I was just wondering how you were doing! Good luck with everything and my prayers are with you still 🙂
Oh girly, I am praying for you. Things have to get better and just think, VERY soon you will have that sweet baby in your arms. : )
so sorry to hear about your car trouble. what a drag. I know a little about all that lately. But dealing with it when almost due sucks.
that happened to us this last time. I’ll be praying for ya!
Oh Krystyn, I’m praying for asome sweet and happy news for you (and pronto!)
Keep going.
Too bad you haven’t had that kid yet.
You are in SERIOUS need of a margarita…or 10.
Amping up the prayers for the platelets!
And I hope you are pulling out every Chemistry video you have. Time for you to try and relax as much as possible!
Hang in there, Krystyn. He is in control! 🙂
Oh my dear Krystyn….I am so sorry. You are in my prayers. I am sending you great big ((((hugs))))… can you feel them???
It will get better… I am sure of it.
Take care and know that you are absolutely right about being in God’s hands….also know that loved by many. I sending best wishes for a good week ahead.
I feel so bad for you! I really hope you have the baby tomorrow and a big financial blessing comes your way soon.
according to your babystrology……your happy post will come in 4 days;-)
I am praying for you! That baby WILL come soon and you will, sort of, forget how awful it was to be playing this waiting game.
That new little person is just waiting for Mommy’s platelets to go back up so you can be comfortable during delivery 🙂
You’ll get through it! That little baby will be here soon. 🙂
Well, at least SOME good news happened this weekend!
I’m thinking of you and you are in my prayers girl!
Oh my gosh, what a long and hard weekend! I think I would of lost it Friday night! I will be thinking of you and your family! Love, clare
Oh wow, your post brought back all those feelings I just had 3 short months ago. I, too, was told I could get induced right at 38 weeks. Then my doc changed his mind or I misunderstood, I don’t know which, but I was absolutely MISERABLE with my last pregnancy, good thing it was my last! As for the platelets, I could try telling you some women would love to go through natural childbirth, but I don’t think that would help you. They can’t give you a spinal or anything? I don’t know anything about the condition, though. hang in there. I hated it when people would tell me that, sorry. But seriously, this really will be a distant memory soon. I can still remember being so miserable, and now my youngest is three months old in 4 days!!! Time flies!
God gets our attention in ways that we don’t like!! Good luck!!
ok it’s monday…did you make it through the weekend??
thinking of you friend – sending lots of love and hugs and happy thoughts!!
Praying for you girl! I know that its so frustrating. I am thinking of you and just think your new little baby will be here very very SOON!
It wasn’t that long…you are no longer knocked up! Can’t wait to meet her….and I am sure it will be before Thanksgiving. I can’t wait that long!
Hang in there, I’m sure we’ll be reading the happy news soon.
L,
Tania
Praying for you here. Inhale. Exhale. Breathe. It will all be over soon. Let’s hope!
oh Krystyn…
hang in there hon. that little baby HAS to come out sometime right? God’s timing usually is not our own…and sometimes it takes a slap in the face to get it ya know? trust me…i have learned that with this pregnancy too. I will be praying for you… Hope your platelets go up!
I was going to say good luck and hope the platelets keep going up!
I noticed your sister commented…and she said you were no longer knocked up…does that mean what I think it does?
Oh, and she said SHE?
I will wait with bated breath for the news!
I hope Congratulations are in order!!!
