A long journey coming to an end

It’s a very strange period, like being in twilight zone. For every day that goes by I am getting closer to my goal, but still no sign. It makes things a little difficult to plan for, like my life is on hold. Fortunately I had a message on my voicemail from my midwife. Tomorrow I am almost 2 weeks overdue , and it is time to look at alternative methods to induce labour. One procedure is called stripping, where they strip the membranes around the cervix. Tomorrow she will come to perform this procedure and hopefully this should kick start a naturally induced labour.

I must say I start feeling somewhat anxious about the whole thing. It’s also a little nerve wrecking and exciting knowing that this week we will have a new family member in our house. Am I prepared? Will my natural instincts kick in? How will our baby look like? Will the dynamics of our family change?

There are so many questions that are floating around. Until now I have tried to push them away, not because I wanted to, but more out of my constant preoccupation with other projects. Today, I am wrapping up most things though. Paying the bills, doing my administration and delegating the main responsibilities for onlinesalsa for the immediate days and weeks.
As I write this I can’t help but feeling a little flutter in my belly. It’s in fact such an exciting period, like a whole new life ready to take over the previous one. Did I say I just can’t wait?
