{ Your Birth Plan }

Last night Daddy and I went to go interview a potential daycare for you.  While getting changed from my work clothes I peeked in the mirror and noticed you were sitting a little different than normal.  I thought maybe it was just the way I was standing but after taking a picture to send to your Auntie Coco for confirmation and then comparing it to the weekly photo we just took on Tuesday there was no denying that you have dropped!

I know this means nothing more than that we are nearing the end.  Just like with everything else it could be a matter of days, weeks, or hours!  Nothing is a sign that you are truly coming other than if my water breaks or my contractions start. 

With that being said, Kayla and I were talking about how nice it would be if I knew what was going to happen and when.  Life would be much easier and planning would be a cinch.  I would be able to plan to take a few days off work prior to your arrival so I can give the house a good cleaning, get everything organized and situated, make sure the cat's are fed and taken care of while we are in the hospital, drop Lola off at my mom's house, make sure my legs are shaved, I am freshly showered right before leaving for the hospital, my hair is clean and done, my makeup is fresh and packed in my bags so I can touch it up and look as human as possible when visitors come or during those first photos of us....all of that and then some would be a dream come true. 

Kayla had mentioned how nice it would be if you could just send me a quick email letting me know whats going on and how things are going to happen.  So, here it is....your "birth plan" (according to Kayla):

Dear Mom,
I am going to drop the week of Sept. 10, but don't worry, you are not going to dilate until two weeks from then. I will give you some contractions on Saturday the 29th, but don't worry, it's just practice!! THEN on Tuesday 2nd at work you will start having BIG contractions, and Auntie Kayla will have to zoom us to the hospital, pick up Miguel's, and I'll wait for Daddy to get to the hospital, then three easy pushes later I'll be out!!!
Love,
TR
