*Snip* - Deleted b/c there's just no sense or benefit in being so negative about anything!


On the plus side, my BP is great and my swelling is going waaaay down.

I'm super excited about all the labor vibes swirling around this afternoon! ELV to all of you ladies on the verge or beyond!!

As for me, the next three days my three fave MWs are in the birthcenter, so if you could send me a few vibes to go before the nutty MW is on call again, that would be great!

*Mama Moose* - Feel better vibes on their way to you, too!

Katherine, as my back-up MW had to tell me when I was also worried about that... the cord floats...
it made me feel a lot better, perhaps it will help you too...

Hugs, and all the cleansing vibes you need to dust all of her negative feelings off of you and baby...

That's a lot of stuff to deal with BMM! Hugs to you

I'm starting to think that I may not birth until next week. That would be crazy - I've never gone past 41 wks. I'm crazy - my mind keeps thinking it's some kind of achievement to go past 40 wks. I'm just weird. But I don't mind being pregnant - the baby will come when he comes.

I'm glad the babe didn't come last night. Dh and I went out, I ate Mexican, and went to the movies where I proceeded to eat a bunch of crap Good for me but I kept thinking "This is going to be awful if I go home, birth and barf it all up!"

It's been a lazy day. I took 2 kids swimming, got movies, took a nap, got dd1 some suppplements to hopefully help her sleep. Her neuro disorder is keeping her from sleeping at night and dh is getting up with her - sometimes every 2 hrs. Cross your fingers I bought something that works.

I think tomorrow I might take myself swimming w/o kids. I deserve to relax. Our sitter's last day is Fri. She'll be back after the next week but I think she'd like to be around to help - she's very sweet. It'd be convenient to have a baby by Friday but I just don't have that vibe. Of course, I deny "baby is coming" vibes so I can maintain my sanity

Whew. I took a nap and feel 1000% better. Sorry to have been so negative earlier, but I really needed to spew all that out and get it out of my head, KWIM? I'm back in my positive, all-is-well place now... and I'm staying away from that MW at all costs, so she doesn't get a chance to unbalance me again.

There's a laundry list of reasons why it would be super convenient to have the babe this week, but I can't get myself motivated to do even the light encouragement stuff (internal EPO, etc.). It's like I'm just drifting on my back in the zone beyond the breakers, just peacefully swishing back and forth as the waves rock under me... and I know that eventually, one will catch me up and toss me to shore. Until then, I just can't be bothered to expend any energy trying to catch a wave. Odd. Especially for me. Sorry for the lame analogy... it's the best I can come up with.

Thanks again for the support and giving me a place to vent all that frustration!!

We did it! DD #3 came this afternoon at 5:42. My longest labor at 10 hours.

I hope everyone else is doing well!
