Just thought I would pop in and say hello. My home birthed bubba turned one today. In the bath tonight she stopped playing and climbed onto me and was lying with her head on my chest just giving me a cuddle. She has not done that before, except for the day she was born
that is so cool, what a special moment for the two of you!!!

Ree: WAHOO for being accepted that really starts to make it all feel that bit more real doesnt it??

LadyN: sending you beautiful birth blessings xx So so close to bringing this baby earthside now

HotI: mmmmm hot chocolate mmmmmm

AFM: had another lovely midwife appt today. DH made a lovely minestrone and we ate leftover cake from the girls' birthday party that was on yesterday
I just love the care and time that can be taken with these appts. They were here for 2 hours and we got to chat, have tea, coffee, lunch and have a really un-rushed appointment where we could discuss things at my own pace. next meeting is the birth plan meeting YAY!
and i am totally stoked as today the birth pool that we bought arrived i am so excited! we now have pretty much everything bar the gloves and some medical mat thingos...wahooo!
baby is, as i suspected fully engaged...and posterior. have to get cracking on the OFP stuff and my IM recommend some gentle positions that i should use in the pool...so now i have to heave my whale-like belly down to the local pool
