About 2 weeks ago, Chris and I finished the last of our 4 baby classes. It's been great having these private lessons with our doula Octavia. She was able to work with our schedule, we get comfy in our living room with the air condition on, drinking sparkling apple cider on crushed ice, and watch videos and going over all the things we need to learn before the baby comes. We really enjoyed the private lessons because we're able to ask questions freely and really learn the material. Chris and I feel like we know so much about the birth process now. And if we need to make any decisions about any intervention, we are fully educated to make the right choices for us.
Then last week we received our "diploma" in the mail! I know Oliver appreciates what we are doing to bring him to this world.
Then yesterday, June 25th. We had a very exciting doctor's appointment. We found out that I'm 2 cm dilated and the baby's head is in the right position. He's still a little high, but at 37.5 weeks we are right on track. That news made us realize how close we are to meeting Oliver. I spent the evening making a final list of things we still need to do to get ready for the baby.
Maybe he'll decide to come early for his "independence day"! We'll have to wait and see.
