My Cali Baby Shower

So yesterday I had a check up with my doctor and he said everything was good and healthy with the baby and myself.  I take my gestational diabetes test, in 2 weeks, before my 30 week appointment.  I told my doctor I was going to California, while I was 30 weeks pregnant, and he said I should be fine as long as I wasn't having labor symptoms.  He also told me other things that could go wrong with traveling that far along, not to scare me, but to educate me and open my eyes.  When I left I had concerns with traveling but I pushed them off.  Melissa Burk said she would ride home with me and everything was good to go.  I have just been so worried about it the travel since my appointment.  The fear of something happening and being stuck somewhere without Scott for weeks or months scared me.  If I had to deliver early and I was at my moms house I would go to her hospital and I would be fine but I would be stuck in California without Scott for weeks.  I still kept brushing it off because I really wanted to get home and have a baby shower.  I was talking to my mom, in the Walmart parking lot, and I asked what she thought about me traveling at 30 weeks.  She said I should be fine but if something happened on the drive or when I got home, to her house,  I could be stuck for weeks or months.   She was like "what if something happened in the middle of Nevada?  You wouldn't know any of the doctors.  If the baby came that early, would they have all the right stuff to help your baby girl?"

I broke down crying, yes I am a disaster.  : )  She was like Krista it sounds like you have fears and concerns already.  I told her I do but I was trying to brush them off because I wanted to get home and I didn't want to tell them we needed to post pone my baby shower.  I was really excited for my shower out there.  My sister and I picked out adorable invites and I was excited to come home.  My mom was like I have had concerns ever since you told me Scott wasn't coming with you, so I support you not coming out right now.  I asked if we could do the baby shower after the baby comes and she said that was a fantastic idea!  Then everyone can see my sweet baby girl, that won't be able to come see her after she is born.  I sucked up my tears and I felt so much better.  I just love talking to my mom!  Then, I called my sister and she was like Krista it is just a baby shower and we can do it later.  I love her!

I really like that I will have a shower after the baby comes because not everyone will be able to come see our baby after she is born out here in Utah.  I feel so much more relaxed now.  I just don't want to be away from Scott.  This is our first child and I just want him by my side!  But for all my California friends I will be coming out most likely in July after the 4th.  I can't wait!!
