Well, today's the big day! Alex' due date - though, I'm pretty sure he won't be making his grand entrance today.
I went to the doctor's yesterday, and was told that I was 75% effaced, which is a good thing! The doctor went in to examine, and told me that she could do something called "Stroking the membrane" which would essentially stretch my cervix and might help enduce labour. Well, it didn't enduce anything, but she could feel his head, and that was pretty neat.
So yeah, things are down to the day and I'm pretty excited.
I'm going to Bryn's this weekend - It will probably be our last weekend out in Almonte for some time, but I guess we'll just have to make it worth while.
Everyone keeps asking if I'm nervous about the labour and delivery - I always tell them no. I'm actually more afraid of the future. This is a whole new journey for me. And while I have complete faith in myself and my abilities, it's also very foreign ground I'm treading upon. Me? A mommy? Heh, you all know me - odd sentiment isn't it? Renee - mommy... GAH!!
Well, it's good to rest assured knowing that I've got friends like you all. Alex will have lots of uncles and aunties which means lots o' love! And that makes me happy :).
So yes, while you're all partying this weekend, drink to me and Alex's hasty arrival!
Good luck Kerry and send my love to your dad!
