My Everythings

BODY!!! Holly hell! I knew this wasn’t going to be pleasant towards the end but *whew!* combined with this AZ heat… I don’t know how much longer I can make it! I have an appointment on Friday… 36 whole weeks! I believe they are going to do an internal so I am really hoping for some sort of progress. With they way my crotch feels I really hope there is SOMETHING going on down yonder! I know, pleasant, right? It’s times like this I really wish we had a friggen pool. Oh well… maybe next time!

Speaking of pools… I wonder if there is any progress at my hospital with the decision on whether or not to let midwives do waterbirths. I always said it would be the only thing to get me to even THINK about trying to go for a natural birth and half way though my pregnancy my midwife told me that she’d been approved at our hospital. Well the hospital is an Indian giver and decided to take it away and make her go though a whole long approval process… and here I am… stuck in the middle. I don’t know any headway will be made in the next few weeks but a girl can hope, right? Women who have a waterbirh always look so calm and in control compared to some of the screaming banshees you see on TV these days… man, I really hope I don’t turn out to be one of them!

So now as I bounce on my yoga ball and type this blog I wonder what my birth will be like. I have so many thoughts and ideas on what may or may not happen and I am trying to be really flexable in knowing that ANYTHING can happen. All I know is at this point I am chanting to my daughter ::two weeks early… two weeks early… two weeks early:: Lord knows mama can’t take much more of this!
