:Congratulations Amelia!!!! Can't wait to read about the birth and see pics of our little girl.
Amy -
for you and a
for your husband's OIC. I would be so pissed too. SOme people just don't get it. And hopefully your Dh will realize that being there for you and the birth of your child is more important than his boss's comfort level.Meli - I have had 2 labour and deliveries with absolutly no drugs or pain meds and after reading your birth story I was blown away by your strength and the way you held up over a long hard labour. I think that you have definatly earned the right to say that you had a natural labour
Carrie - Congratulations and wishing you a healthy and safe birth and a speedy recovery. How exciting! You're probably holding your little babe in your arms right now as a I type this
.Katie - Your posts are so inspiring! Way to go! You sound so confident and secure in your body's ability to birth vaginally.











Definately add me to the cheering section. Envision me being one of the obnoxious ones cheering too loudly and trying to get the wave started!






In and out of the Aquadoula....hey, tell me yall when are the pools getting filled? We went with the baby pool b/c it was lighter than the Aquadoula; but we lack the heater. It looks nice tho. Its inflated now, for a week leaned against the wall in front of my birth kit.
I think I'm gonna turn off the phone for a nap soon. 
Nice I don't *have* to be anywhere tomorrow. So far, looks like the baby doesn't want to come until we have clean drapes. They are ready after 5 today. They are across town, so I thought about getting them tomorrow. Course, I think there's nothing on primetime, soooooooooo maybe we could go out tonight. I need to pick up some changing table covers too. We didn't get any and d (doggone)h
said he had gathered all the gift cards together and he hadn't so we were out last Sunday after church and coulda gone by Baby Depot and gotten some but noooooooooooooooo.

: Its it! Its it! She's got me checkin for bloody show!

which is why the weeping feels so weird *lol*

: You need to take a breather! I totally understand, though, about wanting everything to be "done" and perfect before the baby gets here. But I've decided that I'll never be done, and if I keep obsessing about everything To-Do, this baby won't be born until Thanksgiving and it'll be bigger than our turkey! 

My mother is gambling on when her grandchild will arrive!!! She said half of Portland has an interest in when I deliver. Of course that's an exaggeration, but not by much I'd guess. She's quite the well-connected social butterfly. I envision a huge wall calendar with names penciled in all over it and "odds" for each day.... my mother is a bookie.
So that's why she's been calling every day....
: but then I realized these are all from people who really do care and thinking about me so now I dont mind.



was hangin around and now the mw says for softening my cervix. I'll have to remember that PP too....
Well, I just *did* get up from a nap and once I get the post nap groggies off then I'll be back to work. On the way to pee, I stuck my dipes in the dryer tho. I sometimes wonder if I was making the baby stay away b/c I was so stressed out about things being done and then I'd have to get induced b/c h/s wouldn't come out; but, that doesn't seem to be the case. I guess I better just speed up!
that would be somethin to push out!


: I bet she's either snuggling or pushing.
