Acupuncture is actual needles, yes. And much more effective than acupressure, which I have also tried to absolutely no avail. Especially trying to stimulate pressure points yourself, I believe that's supposed to not really help at all... I don't know where you live, though, so I don't know if there are any acupuncturists around....
Just because I wanted a leap day baby so much, I tried everything that I could think of that didn't seem drastic... yesterday i had spicy foods, orgasms, pressure point pushing, pineapple, raspberry leaf tea out the wazzoo, bouncing on my birth ball, walking..... nada. Baby's just NOT READY, I guess.

HAHA! That book looks awesome.

Cicely, love your new sig...

My mom just showed up. She mistakenly thought we'd called, called back when we were napping, we didn't answer, she freaked and came over. She got a talking-to. She now understands that no news is good news and I'll call WHEN i want her here!

Went for a walk - baby got good and screwed down in my pelvis, so that's something!

Here's hoping the evening brings some labor-y bits for at least one of us!

Oh--
He gave kisses to everyone, and then kissed his wife's baby. The baby asked what he was doing, and complained that she couldn't feel the kisses. The daddy said that the baby would have to come out to get properly kissed-- and so she did! All for kisses!

Um...does the fact that I can barely sit down because it hurts my hips, and it feels like my hip joints have become very tenuous, mean that the babe is getting much lower? I'm guessing?

Don't expect anyone to be answering this tonight, but...wanted to ask. WOW this feels weird.

OK, we're gonna take some naked pictures. Might as well capture me in my full torpedo glory since who knows when the baby will come out & I'll have a totally different shape again! I've never been torpedo-shaped before

Night, everyone!

Is this the same thing I mean when I say that it feels like my hips are coming apart at the sockets?

Hm.....

I've also been nauseus-crampy-backachy off and on all evening, but in no discernable pattern...

well, we'll see.

night!

Amy - she also said that even if we go into labor at the same time, not a problem at all! Since you'll be done WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before me!!

Cicely -

Ok so I'm crashing in on your ddc and your thread BUT I need to chime in that I'm just a hop over in the March ddc with my due date being Sunday and I ALSO have Miriam as a MW! We really need to coordinate so she can attend all our births! I must've seen her right before you today, Stephanie! She left my apartment around 1. I've been having on again off again labor since Tuesday so one of us needs to go into labor and get the ball rolling! Diana
