Journal Entry

[transformed]

I have been reflecting alot on my past births latley. I would like to write them down before I forget! I really don't remember much about my birth with ds 4 yrs ago. My dd's birth I have a huge amount of photos and this article to remind me.

I am too tired to give birth today...and because I cant seem to get up-looks like the kids will be fighting with eachother all day. It sucks. I-am-so-sleepy. :yawning:

We arent set in stone but I think dh and I both like the name Marley. (Dh doesnt like it for a boy but hopefully he will come around on that...or maybe it can be a middle name for a boy.)

Today is my due date!

I am not answering the phone. :

Marley is a good name.

I need to journal about my births or something, too. But they are so negative, I doubt it'd be a positive thing right now.

here is a positive: you got a baby!

Maybe your journal entry is: I was pregnant, I had a baby! yippieee!!!

That's a really nice newspaper article. I think it's great when mainstream papers write about natural birth in a non-threatening, fact-based way. It's a nice keepsake for you, as well.
I used to journal so frequently, but once I started writing for a living that seemed to fall by the wayside. It's a pity, I love having that record of old times in my life. I wish I had kept a pregnancy journal, but it just didn't happen. I do have a series of five columns I wrote for our side magazine--one each for the months of August through December. I clipped those and put them in the baby file and they sort of serve the same purpose. I also want to write up a really good birth story pretty soon after the fact. Honestly, this board has been the closest thing to keeping a journal for me. God, can I print off all the threads and turn them into a book and have that be my preggo journal?

LOL...As far as a preggo journal-

I have been a complete psycho this pregnancy. I think someone would have me commited if they read a pregnant journal by me right now.

Hormones and journaling....interesting combo.
