Quotable

Cute quotes:



Zion and Elise's take on adding a new baby:



Elise: "I'm going to be two big sisters soon!"



Zion: "Zion be big sister brother!"





Morbidly funny quotes:



My reaction to learning that they might leave my uterus in until a second surgery several weeks after my c-section:

"All I want is to wake up from surgery and hear that my uterus is gone. I'm so over my uterus."

A med student, trying to comfort me after I learned that the placenta was growing into my bladder:

"Just think of it this way, worst case is that you never pee again, but you'll have a healthy baby and you'll be healthy."

I should clarify that while I might loose a piece of my bladder, I am not as risk of loosing my whole bladder. As Jeffrey says, "there are somethings they just can't teach you in medical school."

On another note, while the OBs think that the placenta has grown into my bladder, the Urologists think that might not be true. If my bladder is not involved, they will go ahead with my hysterectomy when Wyatt is born. So we still have hope that this will all be over on Monday. I'd sure appreciate prayers for a smooth surgery and conclusion to this all.

  1. Love the quotes from the older siblings. I'll be praying for sure! I was wondering if there was a possibility that they misinterpreted the U/S findings.

  3. We will definitely keep praying! We know from personal experience that they can't always tell everything from an ultrasound or even an MRI. Many things they just don't know until they get inside. And we serve a powerful God who still performs miracles. Praying for you in your final countdown!
