The Home Stretch..

Well here I am at 36 weeks and 5 days. Technically I will be full term this Tuesday, but I highly DOUBT Hunter will come that early. I just need him to hang in there until Feb 21st or so. Once my mom has safely landed in Minneapolis he is more than welcome to head into the world. Haha..get it? HEAD into the world. Sorry.. really awful pun.

So the closer I get to labor, and the more intense these Braxton Hicks get, the more I'm thinking about my "Birth Plan". I didnt even know I was supposed to have one until I started reading all these books about women giving birth and sticking to their "Birth Plan." I was pretty sure Birth was the one thing you COULDN'T plan honestly. I guess its called that in order to give us freaked out moms a sense of control over our situation. So my "Birth Plan" is as follows...

• Go to the Hospital
• Avoid Pitocin at all costs
• Lots of walking and sitting in the bath
• Really hoping to go natural, but not leaving the option of an Epidural out.
• Planning on having only Jason and my Mama and Steve in the room when I am in transitional labor.

So thats the "plan." We'll see how well my body decides to follow it. We already have the crib set up, the clothes are washed, the car seat is in the truck. We're pretty much good to go. I have one more baby shower on the 19th here in MN. I am so excited for it! My sister in laws are throwing it for me. It was seriously so sweet of them to offer to throw it for me.  A lot of the women from Relief Society are going to be there. I get a final count tomorrow at church so I can tell my sister how many to expect. I'm going to post pictures of Hunter's Nursery tomorrow. :) Better go to bed if I want to be up in time for Sacrament Meeting. Night all!
