The delivery guy arrived at the door this morning with a big box with my birthing pool….
It jut makes things seem so much more real…. I mean… this thing sitting in the hall way is what I will be hopefully giving birth in a few short weeks…. I can’t wait to do a test run and sit in it for a little while and try it out…
There are only a few things that I need to get for the birth and then I am all set to have this new babe….
Hmmm…. why don’t I just list the things that I need to do here…. it will probably get me to do it more quickly…
- get the baby clothes out of the shed, separate just what we need and wash it.
- get the newborn diapers out and place them somewhere handy
- make a basket/box with everything that I need for the birth so that it is all on hand and in one spot
- write a “birth plan”… not a conventional birth plan of course… just something to have quick reminders on for both Simon an I….
- Buy some embroidery floss and braid it
- buy or find a new pump for my birthing ball (mine broke when it fell) and the ball needs a bit of air…
- Make a few more meals if I can…
There might be more of course….
OH… and about two weeks ago I decided that we needed a new fridge…. (after having to re-duct tape the shelves in our current fridge that we got free 6 years ago) it was supposed to arrive in a few weeks but I got a call saying that they will be able to deliver it on Thursday!! Don’t ask me why but I am really excited about it… weird huh!?
