Due dates are hard! Here we are on July 21 and I feel like we should be celebrating or doing something...considering this date has been in our heads for 9 months now. Instead, I'm going to lunch with a girlfriend and Rob's going out with coworkers tonight. Or at least that's the plan for now!
An update on me: I've had mild cramping since last Tuesday, which is a sign of early labor. That can last for weeks so it's only a sign the baby is coming this month...which we already figured. Otherwise I feel good. Rob and I are taking long walks every night, having dinners on the porch and just enjoying the peace.
Thought we should share the birth communication plan with everyone. The plan is: when we go into official labor we'll call parents and siblings and let them know (at a decent hour, of course). Once the baby arrives, however, we're just going to call parents and let them work the phone tree to spread the news of the baby's arrival date, time, and NAME, if we've decided on one yet. :) Once we have some time and energy - which could be a few days or more, all just depending on how we feel - we'll call everyone else.
Lastly, we're sad to report that our doula is out of town this week and won't be with us for the birth, if it should happen soon. We'll miss you, Cate!
