Today was a big day. Every day is a big day when you are trying to get a pregnant woman and toddler to leave the bathroom and get to a morning appointment. We all loaded into the car and headed off for a doctors visit. I am sure the staff was thrilled to see us arrive with a plethora of paper work and activities for a two year old. (Insert Eye Roll) Today was the day to discuss our birth plan. I must admit I was a bit nervous. I joke that the difference between my birth plan with Addison versus my birth with Coralyn is that Cora's can fit on a post it note. After 36 hours of labor one learns to be a bit flexible.
In a nutshell the appointment went great! I have an awesome doctor who is open to me not only attempting but also achieving the type of labor experience that I desire. That may sound like a no brainer but not all doctors have this approach. He rocks!
We have discussed the birth plan with the doctor and have discussed the care of our sweet Addis with a few of our favorite folks. Critter care is covered. Consent forms are signed. The nursery is complete. It is better not to discuss the rest of the house....oy vey! But all in all we are gearing up and marking things off the constantly growing to do list.
In a few short weeks we will be checking in and checking out and heading home. Then we can move onto calling our girls by the wrong name and fearing the day when all our cycles sync. (Insert tears, eye roll, scary face, etc..) That is another blog for another day.
Did you notice that I typed our girls? GIRLS!!! Two girls....
Belly!
Our girls!
My beautiful sister-in-law who is expecting her sweet girl a month after us. WooHoo for girls!
