Holy smokes.
It still hasn't sunk in that we are having a baby, or that this movement inside me is going to come out. It's very bizzare but extremely exciting.
I think often about laboring and what to expect or how it will go. I think about who I want to be in the room and who I hope comes to visit after. It's such a special and very exciting time, how do you choose who to include or not include? And how do you do so without hurting feelings?
I think about all the advice I'll be getting, from anyone who is anyone. And how much advice I've already gotten: give her a binky, don't give her a binky, wake her every 4 hours, never wake a sleeping baby, breast-feed, supplement, pump, offer the breast, stay home as long as possible, return to work at 6 weeks, work days, work nights, etc. etc.
It's all contradicting information and it's all so very overwhelming. Of course I want to be the best Mom I can, and so I read a lot of websites and ask for advice frequently but it's difficult weeding out the bull crap and choosing a plan that works best for us.
I'm told that Hazel and us will figure it out together, and Caden and I will come up with a plan that works for our family.
...I just pray that plan develops quickly.
4 more weeks and counting.

don't you get tired of all the advice? It's kind of overwhelming! everyone has their story, what works best for them, what they think you should do. It's crazy! I don't know you very well but I think you're going to be a great momma and you're going to know exactly what's best for your baby!(: I'm excited to see what she looks like!
