A year ago yesterday on the 12th of July we were expecting the Peanut. We were all action stations. We had bags packed, cd's chosen, snacks ready to go, a special leaning mat thingy, a massager, togs and towel for me. We were committed to the mission and were ready for the long haul as you can see by the above list. We were ready for most eventualities. We had non gender specific clothing ready for the Peanut to come home in and everything. We did however forget to take newborn nappies as they don't supply them at the hospital.
But the Peanut was comfortable and as we know now the Peanut was not ready for another week. Jo was definitely ready for the arrival and started around this stage to actively encourage the baby into the world by drinking raspberry leaf tea and going on long walks around the suburb and I think was pretty much willing to try anything that would encourage the child into the world. The only thing that seem to end up encouraging the baby into the world was that the day after being born the baby was going to be induced ready or not.
It is amazing to think that the our world has changed so quickly in the last year. I am sure I will continue to reminisce during the week. If you can remember what we were like a year ago waiting for the birth please drop a comment. It will be interesting to see what you remember.
