And again, way too long between posts. So sorry about that! Lots of holiday stuff and nesting preparation going on around here. I'm a month from my guess date, as of yesterday. Kind of dreading having to wear these same clothes for the next month! I'm tired of them!!
I saw my midwife on Saturday. Yes, Saturday. Because on Friday, when I was supposed to see her, someone was having a baby instead. Thats one of the things about a midwife--no backup OB. So you just have to be flexible. And I know when its my turn, she will do the same thing! Everything was good--it was a good appointment, in that everything seemed pretty normal. I was a bit dehydrated after the holidays, and we talked about some issues I've been having (namely frequent contractions), but all was well. I love her dearly, but I sincerely hope I do not see her for when we scheduled my next appointment (the end of January). Hopefully she will be coming here before then!
My nesting list has consisted of a few bizarre projects around the house. I always have a crazy urge to organize and reorganize (and purge) after New Years, and that urge combined with nesting has been kind of crazy. I've also sewn a few things (gowns and tops for the baby, and matching sibling outfits for the older two), and tried to wrap up my baby knitting projects (one more on the needles, about 2/3 done, and finishing fast). I counted, washed, and organized diapers last weekend (we use cloth diapers), pulled out baby clothes and put them in the designated drawers, gathered and organized birth supplies, and ordered various things that I have needed in the past (cloth nursing pads, nursing bras, a birth pool, and other various things, including the car seat).
One of our biggest challenges was trying to fit 3 carseats across in our 2006 Honda Accord. After scouring the internet, I figured our only bet was to order 3 Diono Radians (well, 2 since we already had one), and hope with everything that they fit. Guess what? They didn't. So we also went car shopping this weekend, and found something with a third row that we can all fit safely in. So that issue is taken care of.
Time for a baby. Hear that, body? Hear that, baby? Momma is Ready. Let's do this thing. (Now, watch me have to wait another month).
