Getting so close! I could go into labour at any moment now - exciting!
On Saturday, I had a day with tons of energy. So, I went shopping (my first couponing shopping trip using the strategies I learned at a couponing workshop I took last week). We also got the nursery all ready and packed the hospital bag. Plus 4 loads of laundry. So, I am feeling much more prepared now. If I went into labour today, we're ready.
I am getting really nervous about the whole labour experience. I know I have been through it before, but it is still a little scary. I just have to remind myself that I survived it once, I can do it again! And really, it wasn't THAT bad the first time around. Just really long! I'm hoping this one will be quicker. From what I've heard from others, usually the second labour is about half the length of the first with a much shorter pushing stage. So, my first was 20 hours from start to finish with 3 hours of pushing and needing a vacuum assist. So, this time, I'm hoping for 8-12 hours from start to finish with an hour or less of pushing :) That would be great!
I'm getting very excited to meet our little one! We have gone back and forth several times with our boy name. For the first half of the pregnancy, we thought we had the boy name picked and were struggling with the girl name. Then several weeks ago, we decided on the girl name and have been going back and forth between 3 possible boy names. Time for this baby to come so we are forced to finally decide!
