Saturday, May 14 is the estimated Due Day (DD). It is so close, yet ridiculously ambiguous if he will actually come then. It truly would be amazing if he came on that particular day, but I have decided to set my gaze on May 21. Who knows, anything could happen, and he could come early. But for now, I will keep in mind why France has declared 41 weeks 1 day for first time moms, and how I wish America would do the same.
Funny Story Time
I went to my check up today. Nothing showed that he was ready to come early either. They hooked me up to a fetal monitor and watched if I was contracting and also how he was doing. It’s always encouraging when your midwife says your baby is “picture perfect” and his monitoring was a model for other babies– let it be true for his character too! The only problem that happened was that
…I think they forgot about me.
It was past 12pm, and I knew that it was lunch time in the office. I thought the nurse said she would be back in 20 minutes (@12pm), and when the 3rd song on the radio came on, “Soul Sister” (which doesn’t make any sense but I like it anyway), I decided to look at my phone: I had been there for 35 minutes (12:15). I decided instead of unwrapping myself, I would just call the front desk from my room and hope someone answered the phone. They did, and someone came.
It was a thing that happened that made me laugh inside, and as long as my son is healthy, there is little that can put me in a bad mood. I hope that this joy will carry out through the labor, birth and beyond.
Baby Room
We have painted the walls, and put the furniture in place, just need to add a few things to the walls, and all will be well. The room is a cozy 9×11 ft room, so it’s perfect for all the big items, and then there is another half of the room that will have all the toys & such.
