We are at the stage now where we are waiting for the arrival of our daughter. It could be anytime, or it could be six weeks. Despite the pending arrival, I atill seem to be in a state of wondering if this is real or not. Despite the big belly, the hiccups and the exhasution, it still seems to be somewhat unreal and I am getting used to my big belly as a familiar part of me.
There are babies born everyday, I tell myself. I am not so extraordinary that this event will be the worst possible trial to come my way. So when I wonder if I can do it, if I have what it takes to make it through, I have to respond with - sure you will - just like everyone else before you...only I wonder to what degree I will shudder at the expereince when I reflect on it afterwards.
I have hired a doula - Cathy - she will hopefully get me through this without an epidural. While excitement wouldn't quite capture the feeling I have about the birth, I ma eager to see how this story begins...

Hiya,
My name is Sarah and I live in the UK. I've been reading you're blog since the start of your pregnancy and since I'm going abroad for the next few weeks I just wanted to wish you luck with the birth and I can't wait to see all the cute little piccy's when she comes along.
Best wishes
Sarah
xx
