Big Decisions

So, I have a pretty big decision to make about my "alien baby". I have actually been thinking about it and obsessing about it all afternoon, after meeting with my Dr and also the surgeon that would be doing the surgery. Basically I need surgery...that's not a question, but the decision of when to have it and to go on a drug that could potentially shrink the fibroids so that the incision is smaller is what is causing my brain to go into meltdown. The drug has some serious side effects and my Dr could do the surgery even if the fibroids are the size they are now (and I need to add that my largest one is HUGE, like a 4 month pregnancy or something like that). I have 3 total, 1 giant and 2 babies.

Right now, I am leaning towards having it down without the drug. That way, I get it over with, I have no drug that will cause me to go crazy, and I will leaned and ready to go for my friend's wedding in June and also be able to enjoy the summer.

Of course, with every major surgery, I am scared and I am doubting every decision that I decide on. I just want to make the right decision, if there is one. Hmm....I guess I will just think about it for a few more days, then call the Dr back and either decide to go on the shot, or schedule the surgery. The earliest I would have surgery if no drug, is late February early March.

I will keep you all posted on the birth of the Alien Child.
