Today, Baby A is officially 36 weeks - full term! And yesterday, M, C, our amazing midwife and her wonderful assistant came to our home for the "home visit", signifying that Baby A is now far enough along that a homebirth is safe. All the birth supplies have been gathered together in one place and the birth pool will be delivered on Monday! Of course, I'm not expecting any baby action for 4-5 more weeks but we are all prepared for when he decides the time is right.
M & C have had several baby showers, it is really fun for me to see all their friends and family so excited for them - what a loved little guy Baby A will be! They have taken baby-wearing classes, carefully selected baby gear, researched cloth diapers, watched birth videos, decorated the nursery and are so excited for their impending arrival! I couldn't be happier for them or more proud, they are going to be such amazing daddies, I can't wait to see them in action!
As this pregnancy is winding down, I'm experiencing many common end-of-pregnancy conundrums, maybe some of you can relate! So without further delay...
#thirdtrimesterproblems
When turning sideways to fit through tight spaces doesn't work because your front to back is wider than your side to side...
When rolling over in bed at night requires concentrated effort and rearrangement of pillows...
When, much like a potty training toddler, a trip outside of the house must be planned around the availability of restrooms...
When any change of body position is likely to result in a snap, crackle or pop...
When every random stranger you happen to speak more than 3 words to, asks when you are due and what you are having...
Happy end-of-pregnancy, friends! I can see the finish line!
