So I'm just going to write this in chunks....because I don't think I can make it flow 'prettily'!
1. My due date is now October 15th. Long story but they miscalculated it early on and someone decided it should be October 18th. I am fine with going off the 'true' what woulda been 'original' calculation of October 15th. That'll make me have three days less to wait! So I am currently 28.5 weeks along---officially in my third trimester.
2. My maternity leave plan has been worked out for work so that is good.
3.We are working on figuring out our birthing plan--but ahh! There are so many details....but it is coming along. Figuring out pain relief, breastfeeding, baby staying in room or nursery, etc. etc. etc.
4. We are figuring out what we want to do for the labor/delivery...At this point, we know that it will be just Chris and myself present unless I change my mind. But we have to figure out visitors, positions I want, etc. etc. etc. (sounds kind of like number 3, right?)
5. Finishing up the baby room...This will get easier after showers happen probably. Looking forward to celebrating all this baby jazz!
6. Transferring church memberships...thank goodness we have clarity and blessing about where we are going and what we are doing but it's just a process now.
7. Enjoying our last few weeks without a baby. We will try to squeeze in some special dates and enjoy some time together.
8. And there's some more serious stuff going on, but we are trusting God to bring us through that....as He has thus far!
That's our story and we're stickin' to it.
