The weeks just seem to be flying by now! I finished my classes on Monday. I’m glad because I’m so tired at night I could hardly stay awake and it finishes as 22h00 and then I still have 1/2 hour drive home so I’m glad it’s done. I definitely feel more prepared now. They had a mom come and talk about her birth experience. She had the same Midwife and Doula as what I’m having and she couldn’t stop praising them. That made me feel even happier to know I’ll have such good support for the type of birth I want.
I’m meeting my Doula on Sunday for a chat and also she’s giving me a full body massage. I was so impressed when she told me that’s part of her services. And all for free. I really need it because it feels like these days there isn’t much that is not sore. Especially when I get up in the morning. I’m like an old woman. Everything is stiff and sore.
I’m also seeing the Midwife again tomorrow and I hope my blood pressure will be normal for a change. On Saturday I’m having my last scan just to see how the baby’s lying and her size and just a final look at her before the big day. So I’ll have more baby news next week.
This past weekend I spent some time washing some of her clothes and blankets and starting to get her bag together for hospital. It really doesn’t feel like it’s this close but I guess it is.
I’ve also been spending some time getting all my finances in order and I have to take my unemployment forms in to claim benefits when I go on leave the end of the month, and on top of that I’ve started to look for a new car as mine is just too small and I don’t even think the pram fits into the boot. There’s still a bunch of things to do before D-day!
I hope everyone else is doing ok!
Enjoy your pregnancies ladies because soon it will be over!
I know I’ve enjoyed mine and I’m almost ready to meet this little squirming person inside of me.
Till next week . . .
