I haven't got my supply list from my midwife yet, but I think I've got the basics under control. Baby clothes are washed and ready to go, cradle is set up, infant car seat is ready, lots of baking and meals in the freezer.... Hmmmm.... I think I need to get some sea salt for the herbal bath and a container for the placenta yet. (Guess I'll have to go get some ice cream. )
Feeling a little PMS-ish today, and noticing more BH contractions. Starting the slow wind-up, I guess! DS and DD4 were both two weeks early, so I guess I could be having this baby in 2 1/2 weeks, potentially!
I agree, 40+ is fine for me in terms of having babies, and part of me wonders what life would have been like had I waited til then and gotten some more traveling and a career out of the way first. Having said that, there are benefits of being a younger parent too. There are plus sides and draw backs whichever way I look at it, it's so subjective though.
Cricket I wonder if your bub will follow the trend of his/her siblings and come a little earlier than the EDD. My trend is 42+ weeks so I'm not particularly crossing my fingers for a repeat however what will be will be! I try not to wish away the pregnancy even towards the end when I'm cranky, uncomfy & anxious to meet my little bundle.... I'm blessed to have the experience at all when many are unable.
If anyone's still cooking up a storm for the freezer of for friends blessingways this website has some awesome freezer-friendly recipe ideas:
