If it's safe, let the lil' bean be born on CANADA DAY. For you Americans(and others) who do NOT know, that would be Thursday. laugh

Hang in there, NP. Ignore your totally selfish WH right now. He has no idea what you're going through. There is a big, big event looming now - lil bean's debut. He doesn't 'get that'.

I am trying to ignore him, but his attitude is very wearing. I feel like he's putting all this on ME, like I'm the one that did all the wrong and he was completely justified. A favourite saying of his these days is "I don't care, I just don't care." I told him that I was worried because his withdrawn attitude is just how he acted through his whole A, and he said I needed to remember the difference between A WH, and Not caring WH. Wayturd.

No baby yet. Ultrasound later today so we can decide whether to induce today or later!! smile Canada Day would be great but getting VERY close to DD's birthday...

NP,

This is so exciting, perhaps the little ones B-day! Do you have a bag packed, arrangements for your DD's care, lists of phone numbers of people to call?

What about the "goody bag" of mints/hard candy, chapstick, etc?

Go NP!

I found these prayers for childbirth.
Quote
On the Approach of Childbirth

Before she labored, she was delivered;
Before her pangs came, she bare a son!
Isaiah 66:7



The hard, painful hour of delivery draws near,
And in the midst of the pains and fears
That course through me
This fervent prayer rises from the depths of my soul�
May it ascend to you, Eternal Parent!
With every pain, with every pang that seizes me,
My words die on my lips.

Only your name, Yahweh, remains alive on them
They utter this cry alone: Yahweh, my Elohim!
You who are my shield and my protector,
My comfort and my rescue,
The one who dampens my fears and my fright,
The one who embraces me in hope,
The one who is my strength�
Oh, as I raise my tearful eyes up to you, Parent of All,
May it draw your compassion down to me.

Let your mercy shelter me,
So these birth pangs do not overtake me,
So I am able to bear them with courage and strength.
Oh, that your parental grace
Might guide me safely and securely
Across this awesome threshold.
All-Compassionate One, shorten my suffering.
Let me soon achieve the joyous goal of this labor�
Let me soon enjoy a healthy, strong baby.
Yahweh, do not now recall
All my sins and missteps in life!
Forgive me and pardon me now
For all my failings before you.

In your compassion and mercy, may it be your will
That I give life to a precious new being.
Preserve my life, and be with me,
For all my hope and trust rests in you. Amen.

L'il bean is....STILL NOT HERE!!!!! I am fully expecting to be induced tomorrow. Actually I'm REALLY hoping they do it tomorrow, or it might not happen until Friday, and then if I don't have it until the 3rd, DD and bean will share a birthday! Talk about complicated later in life... smile We've narrowed down our name list to a couple names, so at least he won't have to be called Boy [LastName], haha!

Other than that, I am just pregnant beyond belief. I can barely get up the stairs in my house now! haha....Can't wait for it to come out!

I will keep you all posted. WH is being nice. Which is good. After we talked to Steve on Monday he's making real efforts to start avoiding IB's and start being part of the family, and he seems more encouraged. Fingers Crossed!!

Did they do a non-stress test on you? A contraction stress test? A biophysical profile? Do they have you doing kick counts? Anything?

Did anyone do a vaginal exam and tell you if your cervix is dilating, effacing, or ripening? I realize YOU feel ripe, but it's not the same thing! laugh

Fingers crossed for you. Glad you have a name picked out(or almost). Gonna celebrate Canada Day with the kiddos at a parade and then a carnival. Then going to T.O. for my Grandma's 87th Bday. I will be thinking about you all day though.

Is your cervix dilating, effacing, or ripening, or smiling? smile

I once was confronted with a patient complaint that her vagina was humming.

"What tune?", I was tempted to ask.
Alas, I chose to take the safe route.

"Let me take a listen. Slide down, please."

Wait, I've got a better one!

[Linked Image from freesmileys.org] = NP

If t = time, and [Linked Image from freesmileys.org] = NP, then:

[Linked Image from freesmileys.org] + t = [Linked Image from freesmileys.org]

And if [Linked Image from freesmileys.org] happens, then we all = [Linked Image from freesmileys.org]

(I'm sorry, really. I need sleep. I = [Linked Image from freesmileys.org])
