Getting ready for baby

...and Jenny chastises herself for being a poor blogger. I see it's been one year since I posted. Needless to say, a lot has changed since then. It's almost time for a Farewell to 2008 post. Probably the biggest news is our upcoming baby due in January. I'm ready for the delivery. You would think being pregnant in the summer would be worse with the heat, but this time around I am way more fatigued than I ever was with Nick. Nick gave my womb a five start rating and stayed in there a solid 12 days post due date. I would much prefer this little tyke choose to get a move on. I'm tired. It used to be I wanted to deliver as late as possible to allow as much time between the holidays and this baby's birthday. However, I'm now hoping this baby comes before the end of the year. That is saying a lot considering I still don't have everything together for this baby. I am learning to give up control--somehow things will fall into place. We'll figure it out. No, this baby doesn't have his own room due to the small size of our house and we're not sure where to put anything but I'm just praying for faith that everything will come together as it will and that I have to learn to LET GO of some things.

We recently changed providers which is not a fun thing to do when you are only five weeks away from delivery. But, the relationship with my old practice was really not feeling very comfortable and I spent the last two visit coming home in tears. As I always tell my clients, "don't be a victim. If you don't like the relationship you're having with professionals you work with, make a change, empower yourself or stop complaining." Well, as guilty as I felt, it really was time to change. We switched to a Midwifery practice that comes highly recommended--known for their priority of making your experience what you want it to be. So far they do a few things differently like the way they calculate due dates, BUT this falls under the "what I can't control" category. This baby will come when he's going to come. End of story.
