Due date
Today is Orla's due date. She is 4 weeks and 1 day old.
We had our last visit to the midwife today - Orla now weighs 3.4 kg. This is about halfway between what Isabelle and Aidan weighed at birth, so sounds about right! Next stops are our GP for the six week check, and Plunket.
It is a funny thing to miss out on the end of a pregnancy like that. Pregnancy is a means to an end, so ought not to be missed. And many women do find the last trimester uncomfortable and difficult. But oddly, there is a funny feeling there, as though something has been lost, and a feeling of truncation.
Continuing in the summer theme, we had another bbq tea outside tonight, followed by a second round under the sprinkler. Both bbq teas have included potatoes fresh from the garden - delicious!
