Wow, a 2015 list already! That seems crazy! Mind you, I am completely in denial about how close I am to my due date... I went into a pregnancy app on my phone this morning, and it informed me there are only 4 weeks and 4 days till my EDD! That sure made my heart jump into my throat! I can't believe I'll be holding my little bubba in my arms so soon - surely I only found out I was pregnant the other day!
I had an appointment with my midwife two days ago - though it feels wrong calling them appointment somehow. More like a chat with a lovely friend, who also happens to check my blood pressure and have a feel of baby haha. Anyway, it had been 7 weeks since I had seen her (I saw my secondary midwife in between), and I had really missed her. We had a lovely chat about the birth, including a lot of the practical stuff... The birth pool (which I am hiring through the birth centre she is part of) will be delivered here after the next woman has her bubba (due July 4th). Then we'll have it here to have a practise run and iron out any glitches, etc. I can't wait till we have it here - then I feel like I can set up my birth space... and then it will all feel very, very real!
I am getting stuck into my reading now, and really trying to get into the right headspace for the birth. The pregnancy yoga class I have been going to (well, it's actually more of birthing yoga class - called Sacred Birth) is run by a doula, and so much of what we do there I am finding myself bringing into my thinking for the birth. I'm really starting to get excited, and finding myself visualising myself in labour, etc.
Anyway, that's where I'm at for now. Am I next in line on our list?
