RE: Color Challenge Tuesday ORANGE
38 weeks is term enough. The only one of ours that went almost the full 40 weeks was @shadowlioncub, the other two popped out at 37-38 weeks :)
Aargh Braxton-Hicks XD Don't worry, not long now. And you'll know for sure if there's suddenly a lot of fluid XP (either the stereotypical mad waterfall gush or the lesser known steady trickle caused by hind leaks)
Midwife did say it can be today or tomorrow or the next day or next week. Scary and exciting times for me. Mostly scary, ehehhe.
After the first 48 hours there is a real autopilot that kicks in. You need to be sufficiently sleep deprived for it to begin, but that usually takes care of itself.
Remember to enjoy the moments rather than document it all. Its like weddings: they only really need a couple shots. :)
No glass of wine, around the table, big cake shots? Knowing me, I will probably forget to press the record button.
In that 20 minute post-ceremony window where you need to nail about 60 shots, the mom and the dog by the yellow chair is the one I always seem to forget.
Just wait til you see the little bundle for the first time. I want a photo of your face, as I have this theory that all dads (no matter whether it's the first time or a subsequent time) have exactly the same expression on their faces when confronted with that long awaited baby, more pronounced if they actually saw the birth XD
