This means Lilith can come in 2 weeks at the soonest (I'm not placing any bets on it though, I REALLY HOPE expect her to stay inside for AT LEAST 4 more weeks, lol).
I'd say we are 97% ready for the birth at this point.
1%- We need the AquaDoula birthing pool/tub. Midwife is bringing it on Friday though so we'll have that by this weekend.
1%- Must clean carpet downstairs and reorganize furniture where it needs to be for the birth. We SHOULD have our repaired deep cleaner back by the end of the week so hubby can do that this weekend. Here is hoping.
1%- I need to double check our list of supplies and make sure we have everything for sure by Friday this week so if not we still have time to get things mailed to us if need be within the next two weeks. Though we should have most everything already at this point. Doesn't hurt to be doubly sure.
And then we'll be as ready as we'll ever be.
lol I guess that last one is the home birth equivalent of mothers getting paranoid about having everything they need in a hospital bag? lol
Also, the last weekend is July is final prep weekend. Sunday (29th) is going to be Cellus and myself at home where I will be showing him how to wash and fold our prefold cloth diapers and going over final birth prep things (Stuff that needs to get done during early labor) and just talking everything over more and making sure we are all up to date on things.
Fun note: The baby has been high this whole time and just Monday did she seem to drop a little and stay that way. It looks like it to me and hubby, but I'm waiting on our weekly progress photos so I can compare to make sure...lol
Not so fun note: Roughly 4 hours of sleep. Again. And I slept wrong so now I am sore.... @_@;
Anyway, pics and numbers will be up later today... ♥
EDIT-
Week 34
38-41.5-39 149 lbs
Ramble:
YES!! I feel so in tune with my body and baby. We went to eat dinner with my mother in law at the nursing home Monday night. Well, while sitting down I felt Lilith shifting and moving and then after I stood up and we were walking out of the dining area I looked down at my belly and was like "That looks lower...and kind of feels lower..I wonder if she dropped a little?" and Cellus was like "I have no idea." but later when I was topless at home he said it looked like I "could" be right. WELL, today we took my weekly progress photos (Seen above) and they confirmed that I was not imagining it, she is for sure lower. I am just so insanely excited by how much attention I pay to my changes and how easily I have been picking up on small things like this. She didn't drop SUPER low and I am still carrying her the same as usual since she isn't wedged way down in my pelvis yet (So not waddling, or feeling like she'll fall out, or anything.) so I'm not sure if I am giving myself too much credit, or if this really would be a subtle change a lot of women might not notice? NOT trying to be all "I'm better than anyone else" but more so just proud of myself that I found SOMETHING in my life that I am NOT oblivious about finally. lol
That also explains why my waist size went down by half an inch.... :P
