Otakon and Midwife

Otakon dinner on Saturday night went awesome. I'll post about it again later when I have pictures and stuff. My feet/ankles/legs swelled up pretty bad afterwards though, lol. I pushed myself too much but by today they are back down a bit but still tender and sore. It's safe to say I'm not going to DC for the great nurse in this year simply for the fact that I don't want to go into labor with sore feet. Haha.

Then today, Lori came over and checked everything out. Lilith is in a GREAT position for birth (Okay, now stay that way baby!!), BP, heart rate, etc. all check out. In fact, you could VERY clearly hear her heartbeat with the fetoscope right away. It was so cool, and hubby got to hear the heartbeat and his face lit up SO BRIGHT at that. I love that he loves being there for all this. :)

We went over a few more things, and we'll have the missing rod piece for the pool by next Tuesday so that can finally get set up for the birth and then everything will be set and it will just be a waiting game!! It's so exciting that it is so close!! She is allowed to come any day now, but we are hoping she stays in there until I can have the pool set up next week at least... "Please be nice and let mommy have her birthing tub Lilith!!! It'll be so nice for both of us if you wait just a little longer!!"

So exciting though. Time has gone by SO FAST and I've loved this whole pregnancy. even the hard/tough bits and pieces that made me cranky on occasion. I wouldn't trade these past several months for anything in the world. It's been simply amazing to see and feel my body changing and growing and building this little girl. It truly has been special and fantastic and I am SO very grateful to have had sch an easy pregnancy and been able to enjoy it. I will never take for granted how calm and relaxed and good everything has been for me. I truly feel like the luckiest woman in the world and am so glad to have been able to truly be happy from start to finish with this whole thing.

That's about it though. Life is good.
