Birth Plan

Last night I dreamt about my baby almost all night. Well, I woke up twice to use the bathroom, once to pick up Henry's stuffed animal and many times to re-situate my body. Every time I remembered bits of my dreams and they were always of her. In the dreams I was just holding her, feeding her, cuddling her. I can't wait.

Last night I watched a sit-com about the arrival of a new baby. In the show, the mother had an 18 page birth plan. Of course, nothing turned out right, but it got me thinking. I need a birth plan. After searching my soul, I think I've come up with it and I am ready to share it with the world. Here it is.

1. Go into labor

2. Have a baby

This is pretty ideal, but it doesn't cover all situations, so I might need a back up plan. Henry was induced because he was post dates. In attempts to cover all situations, here is my secondary birth plan.

1. Get induced

2. Have a baby

Now I haven't talked to Aaron about it yet, but I hope he agrees on the plan. Having a baby is a wonderful wonderful thing and I do not want to leave the experience disappointed. I expect that I'll get an epidural sometime and I hope to deliver normally. If my OB thinks I need a c-section, well, then I'm going to do it. I don't want to set myself up for failure and I trust my body and the OB to do the right thing.

Now that I have a plan, I'm ready to have this baby!
