So this is week two of maternity leave and I have to say, I'm rather enjoying it! Although last week was spent poorly sick in bed due to a really bad tummy bug (imagine me screaming at a midwife in the delivery suite down the phone insisting I was in early labour!) I am much more enjoying this week. So far I have spent more money than I should have, baked some nice oat cookies, had some lie ins, finished a good book (the secret life of the slummy mummy - really recommend it) and had lots and lots of afternoon naps and lazy bubble baths.
However, I am now 37 weeks and 3 days pregnant and totally ready for this baby to come out and meet us. I had a midwife appointment today, no issues (I'm so lucky to be having such a good pregnancy) and baby is engaged, so she is all ready to go! I just have to convince her that its okay to come out any time now, I'm ready and raring to go.
Birth is quite a scary thought. I know I have to do it, I know its going to hurt but I don't know when its going to start and I don't know how I'm going to cope, so its more like a fear of the unknown, which I suppose is worse than actually knowing. All I know is that I'm lucky to have a really supportive husband who is great at rubbing my back, so I'm sure he'll make me feel lots better when the time comes.
From this weekend, I am starting "Operation Baby Out!" and will be doing everything I can think of to get her out! If you have any ideas or tried and tested methods.... answers on a postcard please....!
