I'm feeling anxious about when labor will start - like "am I about to go through this super intense thing right after dinner tonight"? Not so much that I am in this huge rush for her to come, I just don't like the not knowing when it will begin. My first came at 38 weeks on the dot and I am 39 weeks 1 day - so I have no idea what to expect. I thought this one would have come already. Now I'm trying to prepare myself for going late. Also, since my first was early and I totally did not expect her to be early, I never had the anticipation of "ooo is labor going to start tonight?!". It just started and bam - didn't have all the braxton hicks and contractions that time, like I do now.
My friend taught me a few crochet stitches a couple weeks ago. I've been watching youtube videos to learn more and practicing stitches. And I actually made a pair of pants and pair of wool shorties! I'm almost done with a matching hat. I'm not generally one that can sit still without something to do, but I don't have the energy to not sit a lot these days. So having a craft to focus on has been fantastic for me!!! I also find it a nice way to let my mind wander to different thoughts about baby and birth and to get some nice quiet time in my own head before I have a newborn and life is chaotic again.
