For the past month, I've been trapped in a pregnancy whirlwind of trying to get my entire life in order before the upcoming birth of Son #2! Baby clothes, laundry, shopping, cleaning, sorting, birth classes, email lists, call lists, moving furniture, last minute meetings, carseats, writing out birth preferences, burning cd's, talking to doulas, getting pictures taken, batteries, setting up a hospital "carepage", cd's, film (video camera) etc, its CRAZY! All that's left is packing the bag to the hospital. But Im tempted to leave that off the list until I actually go into labor.
Thankfully Ads has been a HUGE help, especially in keeping me off the ceiling. I had several sleepless nights in a row but have now calmed down enough to the point that Im just doing the usual waking up several times a night to use the facilities.
Went to the Dr. last tuesday and have begun to dilate. That got me in the biggest tizzy as my last pregnancy only lasted 2.5days after the Doctor did this wonderful thing called "stripping membranes". Its really as bad as it sounds. However! I am past the 2.5days and am comfortable just letting things happen the way they will naturally.
Whew!
