This week was uneventful. I have my 30 week appointment this week, which is a little stressful, because that’s when my protein was high with Annika. I did talk to my doula and feel much better about a lot of the logistics of my labor, as well as hopeful about the outcome/experience for me. I have every faith and confidence that this labor will be the experience I would like it to be (or close). When I start to worry or have doubts or fears, I pray and remember the hopeful scriptures and promises that have given me peace. It’s amazing. I am also getting more sleep, which is helping tremendously, even though I am getting a lot less done! I am less stressed out, which makes for a calmer, more peaceful me! I also found a thorough birth plan to adapt, so all the bases are covered. I have every confidence in my doula, and the midwives practice as well. I pray daily for God to put the "right" team at my labor for the experience I desire.
