Quick update. Yesterday, I hit the 39 week mark. Unfortunately, that is about as exciting as the day got.
I had my appt. today. All is well with the baby and I . He was pretty jazzed, too. Angie and I also agree that he seems to be 8 plus pounds right now.
He's in the best labor position, and Angie said he his was down really low.
Yay!
Last week, I told her that I had a feeling I would definitely be seeing her for this appt. I was right. Although, even though I am sure I will see her for my 40 week, for some reason, I wasn't sure enough to say it this time.
Maybe wishful thinking...... maybe a glimmer of intuition?
Preferably the latter. :)
Damn pot.... can't stop watching it.
Other than that, not much going on.
Feeling good. Feeling ready. Just waiting.
I also remembered today that it took me almost a week after having Ryden to really process my birth and write a birth story. The experience was so overwhelming, and super painful, that I knew I wasn't going to be having another baby any time soon.
I felt that natural birth is an exceptional tool for birth control. hah!
While remembering all this, I realized that I need to get serious and stop romanticizing labor so much.
I mean, it is pretty amazing, but was the hardest thing I had ever done.... in every way.
I don't want to go into this labor forgetting all of that.
Some bit of denial is good, but not completely forgetting the truth.
I will simmer on how hard it was, but still remind myself that I got through it, and I can do it again.
And that's it. :)
Anyhoo, off to bathe the boy and put him to bed.
Babymoon soon, I hope. :)
