2 weeks

We have just under 2 weeks until our due date. Things are progressing slowly. I saw my OB's partner today. She is quite nice and has mostly the same philosophy as our Doc, so if Roo decides to come early we should have the delivery we want (baring unforeseen circumstances). But, if Roo decides to wait until Monday, our doctor will be back in the country. The visit was quick and easy as usual. The doctor commented on how there seem to have been no problems or complications with the pregnancy (YAY!). Heart rate sounds good still, Roo is still in head down position, but is still high. There has been progress since my exam 2 weeks ago though, we are at 40% effacement and 1 cm dilation.

In other news, we continue to make progress towards getting things done to be more ready than we are now. I've picked up the last things I need for our labor goody bag. I have our list of phone numbers prepared and our list of addresses and email addresses nearly set for baby announcements. I've filled our freezer as full as it will get with frozen meals and meat for easy meals once Roo arrives. This week I plan on doing some sewing and knitting for Roo. I am making a couple of swaddling blankets based on Swaddle Baby (http://swaddlebaby.com/), a couple of pillows using the valence from the bedding set we purchase, and I have ordered some Alpaca yarn to make soakers and knitted pants. I am to the point where there is nothing else that NEEDS to get done, so hopefully I can relax and allow nature to take it's course. The last thing that is needed will be delivered tomorrow, the diapers and diaper pail from our service :)
