Haven't updated since 15ish weeks--thats sad!! Pregnancy is so different when you already have a child running around! No time to dwell on every little hiccup or kick! So I'm 37 weeks and 3 days today, and feeling every bit of it! I've had some seriously uncomfortable weeks, and some not so bad weeks, and I can honestly say, I am ready! I never felt like this with Emma--I was happy as a clam large and pregnant until I went into labor with her at 39 weeks and 5 days--I was fine being pregnant, and in no hurry to not be pregnant. But this time, I'm ready.
And hopefully not too much longer to wait! I woke up two weeks ago, and the baby was breech. It was after a big storm that had lasted all night long, and I'm pretty sure that had to do with the baby turning. I called my trusty chiropractor and texted my fabulous midwife, and we started a plan to get the baby to turn. A breech birth really freaked me out for some reason, although the risks with breech are less than the risks that come with a c-section. But I saw the chiropractor who did the Webster method for two weeks in a row, and at my prenatal appointment with my midwife this past Tuesday, the baby had turned, and was pretty engaged! So I am glad for that, and I really do feel ready, knowing that!
I've got all our newborn wool ready. Considering I'm not a huge fan of gender-neutral things, I knitted 4 pairs of girly longies and 3 pairs of boyish ones. I'll just sell the ones I don't need to buy new yarn! I've got newborn cloth diapers ready to go, our birthing pool arrived last week, we've got our co-sleeping pillow, and my diaper bag came yesterday! I think everything is really ready to go!
