I check out your blog frequently, hoping to see something about what's going on, and was thrilled to see that you left comments on my blog and so I checked out your blog ... good update! (though we are still awaiting that Birth Story!) I appreciate your prayers, very needed in the next many days/weeks ... as long as it takes. I'm thinking it'll be after my due date, and hoping in actuality that it'll be the 23rd or later, due to my traveling midwife situation, though my body does wish differently (getting up from sitting or lying down is torture!) :cry: I am thinking the baby has engaged in the past few days, I feel really much more awkward and feel more waddling in my walk ... feel like I'm listing backwards to an odd sinking ship degree, in other words, the baby being the prow sticking up out of the water as the rest of the ship lags behind falling below the water line immensely, if that makes any sense. :blushing: Thanks for visiting Tamara!

Thanks for the "awful" sentiment. I agree! :wink: Kelly,

Your bathtub must be a nice size if you can labor in it - I've seen other family who use a child's swimming pool, but that seem like it would be as comfortable as having a real bathtub that would work. About names - I know a family who doesn't even think of names until the baby is born. The daddy always makes up a funny name to call the baby before he's born, and tells people he's going to name it that. Last time it was Wheelbarrow. LOL Your hosptital stories are awful. More and more I'm thinking that they're great if you're dying and can be saved, but for everything else, they really don't help you be or stay <i>healthy</i>. Praying for you, dear!
