Still waiting

Ok, so I know I am still early, but I hear so many times a day that 'it could be any day now' that even though I know it is unlikely for a first born to come early, I think I have started thinking it could be any day!

I had my 36 week appointment today, with an OB. What a disappointment. I have had all my other appointments (except 20 weeks) with a midwife. The midwifes are lovely, they love their job, they love our babies, they love our belly and care about our feelings. A midwife appointment takes longer than half an hour, and they are always running behind because they spend so much time with each patient.

Can't say the same thing about the OB. Apparently 'baby is down, but not fully engaged yet', 'baby has heartbeat', 'blood pressure is fine', and 'you need to take iron supplements' are the only thing needing to be conveyed during an appointment, and this exchange need take no longer than 10 minutes.

Oh, well 38 week one is back to midwifes, I will let them know home much I appreciate them next time!

In other news, I can't believe they are going to let me take a baby home to take care of. Last night hubby and I light a couple of candles (not for romancin' but to get rid of smell of the prawn dinner we had eaten earlier) and then we to bed. Hubby bounded out of bed this morning at 7 a.m. after remembering about them. They have burned themselves down during the night and all was fine. But my confidence is shattered. How can I take care of another human being when I could have burnt house down last night?!
