Here we sit, just 1 month and 1 day from the expected arrival of our second child. Of course, for those of you following at home, Sarah delivered a bit early last time, two weeks to be exact - and as such we had a little scrambling to do once the contractions started. This time around we are going to be fully prepared. Fool me twice... as the saying goes. Today Sarah and I made several changes to the house. As you can see above, two sets of diapers, below, the infant carseat has been officially prepositioned, and furniture arranged both in the nursery and master bedroom as appropriate. These are just a few of the physical manifestations of the preparations that have been occurring over the past weeks and months. Other preparations not so outwardly obvious have been, and will continue to occur right up until delivery. Later, Sarah and I have a date to finalize our labor and delivery plan of action and then to practice our labor breathing and coaching techniques. It's so much more interesting than dinner and a movie...

Although she has no idea how much her life is about to change,

Birthplan, ha! Don't spend too much time on it. Just pack the camera and Ipad and you'll be set.
ReplyDeleteyes...but how can one go off-plan if one doesn't have a plan?
