Just Lazy
Ha ha - sorry to those who thought I might be in labour. Sadly, I am just lazy.
However, I am getting close to term. So very soon, I will be in my "due month" and baby could come at any time. The other day I really thought that I might be going into labour - I started having intense Braxton Hicks that were achey, like menstrual cramps. All I could think of is what a disaster our place was! So I came home and started doing loads of laundry. But lucky for me, everything tapered off. But I think it was just the baby dropping lower into my pelvis.
I am fully expecting this baby to be quite late since my mother was late with all three of us. So it's tricky coordinating when people should come to visit. The possibility of lateness is very hard for D's parents to understand as they are dead certain that they will induce us if we go overdue. Sometimes it's just too hard to try and explain. My family is easier, and I'm sure a big of part that is just that no one on that side has had a baby in 25 years. So there is no one to offer their "expertise." In my mother's day they let you go a month overdue if you had to so she figures it's still that way.

Oh! I just found your note about hiring a doula, yay! I hope she's a good fit. Others I had in mind for you to check out are www.islandchildbirth.com and vancouverdoula.blogspot.com... If you don't personally know this student doula well, I can email you some pertinent questions to ask when interviewing a doula.... just let me know. :) I'll get out of your face now, heh.

Really, I should email you this instead of monopolizing your comments, sorry! But it's quick: check out www.withchild.ca if you are at all interested in having a tub to labour/birth in. :) I think I'm getting a La Bassine for mine, instead of renting again....
