FIrst off, I appologize for not doing a "weekly update" thread. I just realized it this afternoon and feel like a heel. Pardon me and my feeble mind 
Midwife came this afternoon. My boys were asleep, so it was just me and her. We had a nice time chatting and hanging out. I am the amniotic fluid-making mama...lots of it
Baby is posterior, again, with back on the right (keeps going back and forth). Head is down very low. Midwife said that with third babies, it usually takes big contractions to ge tthem to go where you want them. I kind of figured that. She suggested that I put to use the ctx that I have by getting in hands and knees whenever I have any. I've been trying to do that all evening, though I haven't been completely consistant (mainly because its hard to get in the position if I'm not already down somewhere). When I first became pregnant, I started saying this baby would be born under the full moon on it's due date, MLK Jr's birthday. That's Sunday. THe moon will be full. We'll see if I got it right. My mw said she'd love to attend a birth on Sunday She said she's tired of prenatals and is ready for some baby birthing action 
She didn't officially schedule me for next week. If I wrote down an appointment, I think the baby would wait on it. I'm measuring 39.5 cms (up 2cms from last week! -- can you say 9lb baby!?) and my pee was nothing to get excited over. B/p was 117/68, last week it was 128/something. One swollen foot still here. I showed her my piddly few stretch marks and told her how excited I was about them HOpefully I'll see her this weekend
Namaste, Tara
