This pregnancy has been very different from Puggle’s.

And the end is feeling quite different also.

With Puggle, I woke up one morning, eventually realising that I’d been in labour for a couple of hours already (I’d been awake a couple of times before that briefly). Prior to that morning though, I hadn’t been aware of anything going on.

This time around I’ve been feeling my body getting ready to deliver for more than a week already. This has heightened the anticipation (and had me worried for the first few days, until I’d reached the magical cut off day where I would actually be admitted to the birth centre rather than transferred to hospital), but the longer lead up time is making me antsy and just wanting it over. We’ve basically been ready with bags and things since Monday (although, I do still have to sort out the car seats), so there’s not really anything to do. And I don’t feel up to doing much in any case:-(

And there’s still more than two weeks till the due date…

So, I’m waiting. Not particularly patiently:-(
