Shall we get this show on the road??
Life has been busy. Very busy. In a way I feel very unprepared for this baby to arrive now. I assume he will come on time or late, as the other 2 were late, but if he is early I will be very very not mentally ready.
To make myself feel better I packed my hospital bag. Only the snacks and juice boxes are missing. It is not conventional to eat and drink in labour, but as I have hired a doula she says she highly recommends it as you burn 800 calories an hour in labour. How else will you have any energy. I fully fully agree. Not sure if she makes you eat and drink on the down-low so you don't get in trouble, or do you just openly break the "rules"? It will be interesting to see. I have my final meeting with the doula on Monday night. I'm looking forward to that as it will bring back some focus to the impending birth. I wonder when my mind will start to focus and I will start to feel that waiting around for something to happen feeling. Definitely don't have that now which is why I would be so shocked. Maybe a week before the due date I'll get that way...if I make it that long. Everyone is convinced I'll go early, but then again people say that every time and it never happens.
We have the baby room all set and ready to go. Baby clothes in the drawers and the new cloth diapers I'm trying out are all washed and ready. Not much else to do except fix our existing monitor or buy a new one. I realize this time around though that things can wait. ie. if we really needed to go run and grab a monitor after he is born it wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm sure the girls would love to go to Toys r Us anyway.
So, hoping he is comfy in there for at least another 3 weeks and then we're good to go. Trying to get a few things done in the next little while...
