Doula?...Check! Pediatrician?...Check!

Today has been a good and productive day so far. We met with a doula this morning and loved her. We really feel that she will be a great resource during the labor and birthing process and will help be our advocate at the hospital when it comes to our preferences before, during and after birth.

I also had the third and final pediatrician interview today and we have decided on one! I really liked the woman I met with today. I felt very comfortable with her and could see myself being excited to have her care for Laila and watch her grow.

And finally, now that it is July 1st, I can say that Laila is due "next month" which makes it all seem really soon! While her due date is technically 6 weeks from today, it feels really good to be able to say she is due next month. Anything I can do to make her arrival seem sooner!!

We have our next checkup on July 7th and our first official pre-natal meeting with our doula, Rena' (pronounced Renay), on the same day. I seem to be getting more uncomfortable by the day (sleep is a lot harder to come by), but am thankful that there have been no complications or signs of early labor yet. As much as I want her here NOW, I know she still has some cooking to do.

We're getting there :)
