Congrats DotFace! What did you name your little man? I hope you've been enjoying your babymoon. Sounds like you did a fantastic job with a bub not in the best of positions. Looking forward to reading your birth story when you get around to it. Also sounds like you are very happy with the support and continuity of care you received, which is the true bonus of planning a home birth (no matter where the birth actually occurs).

Baby has pushed right down into my pubic area in the last day or so. I've felt several sharp twinges from the ligaments and my bladder is being completely squished to the side or something. I remember this with DD2 as she started to engage. Once she moved down a bit further it got a bit easier, ironically (esp on the bladder), so I'm hoping in another week or so she's progressed past this uncomfortable part.

I am now nagging DP to get an air compressor so we can blow up and check the pool. I'm also hanging out to start using my fitball. Time to think about the practical getting ready for the birth stuff. I'll order the oxygen cylinder in a few more weeks so that it's here before Christmas. I think once I get past the Blessingway I'll get all of my supplies sorted from my list. Better go and dig that out.

Eenee, Teni, how are you guys doing? If I feel that time is running out, I can only imagine how you're doing!
