Things are in Place

With just over six weeks left, we've been busy preparing for Mya's arrival. Her room is ready and beautiful. Her clothes are all folded in the closet and waiting. Her babybook has some writing in it already. Auntie Ellen's August trip is scheduled, Grandma Anita is talking about coming in September and everyone is getting ready for Mya's grand entrance.
As my tummy continues to grow, I've been thinking about how big Mya might get. With Lucas's size, who can blame me? I want to avoid induction, but can certainly understand why my Doctor might suggest it if I go beyond my due date. I guess we'll deal with that if and when it becomes an issue.
I've decided it won't be an issue anyway. I plan to have Mya three days early - labour for no more than 2 hours and push for less than 30 minutes. That's the plan. Scoff if you will; I know that I have absolutely no control over it, but I have no desire to spend the next six weeks imagining all of the myriad of variations of labour. I prefer to stick to my vision of ease. If I have to deal with a different scenario when labour pains arrive, so be it. This way, I have six weeks of peace and certainty. My job is to prepare myself mentally and believe that I can do this no matter how it unfolds.
