I've booked the second midwife - she's due back from holidays two days before my EDD, so we'll see if I need a back up for the back up
Also booked the birth pool because the one I was going to borrow might still be needed by my friend - she's 3 weeks ahead of me, but you never know, I don't want to rush her if it comes down to the wire!
My GF was at the last middie meeting and she's very excited and very on board with it all.
I've been talking to DS about the birth etc, but he won't have a bar of being read My Brother Jimmy Jazz! Anyway, he is getting to know the middie and in the bath I talk about how he came out of me and that the baby will come out of there, too. Sometimes he'll lie back, pat his belly and say that he has a baby in his tummy, too He's no longer in denial about the baby, though!
I'm thinking I might watch the Deva Premal (mantra music) video my sister gave me during labour, as she says lots of babies are made and born to her music! Anyway, wanting to keep it zen, but I will make a variety of playlists on iTunes, in case I change my mind about what I want to listen to at the time...
