    Jen I am totally not ready emotionally. Have clothes all washed and folded, put away etc..... But have done zero to prepare mentally for this birth. ****ting myself quietly really.

    I think the ****ting yourself phase is perfectly natural. Perhaps it's a way of starting to bring the birth and your need to prepare to the forefront of your mind. Let us know if there's anyway we help you work through this point.

    Thinking of you SJ!!

    We have a couple of gaps this year where we'll have to wait for the next babies. Darn it! More home births!!

    No birthing vibes yet - I have my blessingway today, a birth pool to get home and a photo shoot next Thursday...THEN all the vibing in the world can happen! Oh, and finding where the baby clothes are, because at this stage the baby will be wearing singlets...I'm not sure if my lent out clothes ever came back, and if they did then we don't know where they are!
    Never mind.
    MW appt on Friday was great and all the baby's measurements are improving - I even measured 31ish weeks for my current 36, so we're playing catch ups She said she'd start to get nervous if I went over 40 weeks, because of the low fluid thing, but if the fluid is increasing then I'm gonna keep taking my chill pills.
