Hello 2015! I am only accepting ONE or TWO births per month, as the birth photographer and doula. Doula services are available as an addition to photography and as a stand alone service. I offer a complimentary meeting to anyone interesting in my services. Please email me if you'd like to chat! robin@birthblessingsphotography.com

Any Day Now

I've been having a lot of pre-labor signs and a few "false alarms" over the past week. I actually warned my doula twice and I've never done that before. Last two babies I just called her when labor was underway. My doctor visit this morning had these results:
  • 80% effaced (wow!)
  • Bulging bag of waters (um, ya, he's way down there!)
  • Lost a pound
  • 1 1/2 cm dilated
  • Doc says, "OH, you're on thin ice. I don't think you'll make it to your appointment next week, so drink lots of water, and get some sleep! Make sure your husband is on board and ready (he knew Mike was in denial about it being soon) and call me. It might be the next couple of days. The baby's position is perfect and ready to go and he is very low. Now what are we doing for birth control?" Ha ha. I love doctor Langford!
Everyone is now on stand-bye and the cat is acting really weird...she won't leave me alone. I'm drinking SmartWater like crazy and hoping he stays in (legs crossed!) until Monday. I bought Mike's father's day gift and the boys' hospital gifts today, just in case.

Gavin Edward Baker is coming any day now =)
