Baby #2 update- Ryan and I had an appointment & a class at the birth center on Saturday. The class was interesting, mostly stuff we already knew, but a refresher in all things baby is a-okay with me. I was checked for the very first time ever (I never got checked to see how dilated or effaced I was with Gavin, because he arrived the day before that appointment). The result for baby2 - the Midwife didn't get very far. Apparently my cervix is "very mushy" ... So as to not accidentally induce labor, she didn't go any further then that.
It's funny the mind games that kind of news can give you... I was obviously totally shocked when my water broke almost 3 weeks early with Gavin- but with this "knowing it could happen any second," it's making me a little crazy! For instance, I walked into the Post Office today holding Gavin and I thought to myself "what would I do, if my water broke right now? I'm wearing black pants so maybe no one would notice and I would just walk out, drive home and call Ryan." I think about that kind of scenario every hour or so - and I spend most of the night dreaming about it too. I woke up about 5 times last night to use the restroom and each time, I was certain my water was going to break on the way there.
Something else I missed out on the first time around, maternity photos! I will never forget Allison Richardson calling to confirm my appointment for the next day and I had to explain to her that I just had him that morning. Kind of bittersweet, I was obviously so excited to have Gavin in my arms, but a little sad we didn't get a chance to capture what he was looking like in the tummy. Although I wasn't really feeling a photo-shoot this pregnancy, I decided to bite the bullet and get some done anyways. After all, if it's up to Ryan, we are done adding to the clan. Hopefully, I will have some samples soon and you will all get to see some belly shots =)
In the mean time, I did some fiddling around in black & whites with my favorite muse...
