So Far, So Good


Another appointment with the midwife today. It's 37 weeks and 6 days. It seems that I've gone full circle, or rather we have. I think perhaps we are the only people not stressing over the arrival of this baby. Today we had a different midwife, which is a shame because we get on rather well with the usual one. She seemed determined to make us feel uneasy about our lack of organisation, either that or she was determined to score one up on her absent colleague who is obviously useless as a midwife in her eyes. Either we are living too far away from the hospital, or we should have discussed lots of things we haven't with our regular midwife, or had more face to face meetings with the obstetrician, and we need to have plans in place for when (rather than if) the baby comes late. If the baby comes late love, it's cos he/she is waiting on a familiar, not to mention friendly bloody midwife.
However, the long and the short of it is that everything is moving along just nicely. There is no need for panic. Baby appears healthy and mother is doing pretty well too considering what's in there. So, we won't panic. We'll do what we did last time round and adopt the mentality that this baby will come when it's good and ready.
