I've decided to stop watching A Baby Story on TLC because it's influencing me in a bad way. I used to be pretty relaxed about delivery but seeing some of these women and their experience in the hospital is kinda freaking me out a bit. So, I'm going to stick to reading my Ina May book and maybe I'll pick up a prenatal yoga DVD or breathing exercise book or something. Some people are a bit alarmed that I'm not taking any classes like lamaze, but I personally don't think it's necessary for me. Perhaps I'm being a bit too overconfident but I truly believe (and hope and trust) that instinct will be my savior. If not, I'll do things differently with baby #2.
I see the doctor tomorrow but it's not my Dr. B. She said I don't need to see her this time around, but in 2 weeks. It's a routine check-up. I'm not sure if it's "pick a delivery date" day. I've extended my last day of work until October 31st. I figured I could use the money and I want to help my boss out as much as possible.
The last 2 nights have been incredibly restless for me. I tend to get up more to pee (like 5-6 times) and I've been staying awake from about 3-4:30, then passing out for a hour, then up for good. It really sucks. But it's all prep work for motherhood, I'm sure of it. James has been amazing support, cooking for me and making sure I'm well. I feel really lucky to have him as my partner.
