2 Weeks 2 Due Date
According to the doctor, all is progressing well with baby Schachtele. She has a strong heartbeat, 150 beats per minute, and is head down. For those who know what this means, I am 2/3 effaced and at a 1+ dilation. Any tips as we emotionally prepare ourselves for the big day? And for those of you who haven't heard yet, her tentative name (depending on her look when we meet her...) is ALTHEA GRACE SCHACHTELE! Althea is a Greek name meaning "Healer" and it just so happens that it is also featured in a Grateful Dead song. It's an older name, but has lots of nickname potential, and neither Bryan nor I could find any fault with it as we combed through the lists of past student names. We also feel that it's pretty and original! Let us know what you think, as long as it's positive. :)

Wow...I can't believe it's only 2 weeks till the due date. One word of advice, be prepared emotionally for the due date to come and go and for the baby to be late. I think that was the hardest part emotionally. We can't wait to meet Althea!!!
I LOVE that name! My birth experience was NOTHING like what we had prepared for. So my advice is just relax and she'll come out when she's ready! :) I was lucky and she came 4 days early. I think the good Lord knew I was NOT mentally prepared for four more days. Ha!
