Or so says my pregnancy calendar says. Looking at it seems like this child will be born very soon I know though that there are countless more hours of backpain, aches, indigestion, huffing and puffing and not sleeping on my stomach.
'After the scare Maddie gave me last week, she is now perfrming double and triple somersaults in between other circus acts in my tummy. I am happy to feel her moving, but at the same time it feels weird. sometimes it makes me laugh- as if someone is tickling me from the inside.
You would think it's weird to feel someone else moving inside you- I mean think about any random person and imagine them in you belly- hipping and hopping left and right, poking you and kicking you. It's not a pleasant thought. Actually it makes me think of the Gaould from Stargate on Sci Fi- it's a bit kreepy. Yet it's your child so you think it normal. Anyway that is what I was thinking when I couldn't sleep this morning. I like getting up early before anyone else is up. I really wouldn't mind it at all if I could have a proper cup of steaming coffee, instead of the coffee flavored milk I sip now and then.
Thinking of this I suspect my daughter will be very fond of cows. I didn't enjoy drinking milk and eating burgers and lasagna until she decided to take residence in my belly. My husband think that mayo is disgusting, but he doesnt realize that ketchup mayo and french fries are the only thing that make a burger edible to me. By the way I didn't eat ketchup or mayo before I got knocked up.
Let's see what else is new. I have a nice zig-zaggy, lopsided lines negra under my bellybutton. If what I have right now can even be called a belly button.
Can't seem to find a birthing class, unless I want to give them $400 for a date I can't even make. So I think I would end up just wing it on my own.Then I can probably start teaching my own class- what to do when you don't know what to do and make $100 an hour for that.-Its quite ridiculous if you think about it. they are trying to cash in on the fact that you are scared and would do anything that makes you somewhat confident that you know what to do. Truth is when the moment comes- you are on your own and trying to remeber which way to breathe in and out won't make the baby come out any faster than it wants to come out.
anyway, that's my outlook on it, so I think that I will buy some books and look up MR. Bradley online and pray that Madison will come out as easy as she got in.

Bradley is a good guy. Lots of wisdom to offer, I think. Have mixed feelings about the classes, especially after doing them. Personally, I think it's about feeling a sense of control in a situation where your body is acting in a way that it never has before. Breath work helps with that. (Also, with speedy Thing 2, breath work is what prevented me from having an accidental homebirth!) I think reading a book could work just as well, just make sure the hubby reads it too, so you're on the same page. Anyway, welcome to blogging universe. Godd to "see" you here, even if I never get a chance to in person ;-)
yeah, now I get to keep tabs on you even when I don't get to see you. : ). I miss seeing you.
