time lapse journaling
We did it. We got married. Yay! January 26th we jumped the broom in Decatur with just our little boy and the judge as witnesses (though I suspect our son was indifferent in utero). It was the most romantic thing you could ever imagine. So romantic that we completely forgot to take pictures until we got home. I didn't let Brian try to carry me over

I definitely appreciate advice from people who have gone through this recently. Especially the kind that says I am going to feel better (I can be very impressionable when I choose). I have been totally expecting the lateness that everyone predicts for first-timers, but sometimes the painless contractions are so regular that I can time them. I just don't want to be induced, so hopefully he won't be so late that I have to argue with the midwives (two weeks is the usual limit).
You are definitely right about the dropping making it more comfortable with the rib thing though. A friend last night told me that she broke her mother's rib while she was in the womb and her mother had to push her out with a broken rib. Eek.

im feeling a lot better this time around than i did last nite. im not throwing up every second like i did before. i am just exausted so much easier this time though, im sure it has to do with presley though and not so much the new one. haha.
yeah most places dont really let you wait the two weeks oddly enough, i was induced on the 10th day, but the nite before i started having contractions anyway but didnt really realize it cause i had braxton hicks for weeks before.. although the real ones did hurt, i was in denial. haha. anyway, i will tell you truthfully that the delivery wasnt as bad as i expected. i was there from 8am-8pm waiting for her to get out of there and i only pushed that last hour. it wasnt as horrible as people said it would be. im not even scared to do it again. which is good. haha.
anyway, call me sometime to let me know when you wanna meet up or just write back here. 4-840-4198

We will definitely be sending you a baby announcement in Korea, so keep an eye out and let us know about any address changes. For now we can write you at the return address on your xmas card, right?

I would love to come by and have a glass of wine some evening this week, or any week really. Think we can arrange that? I suppose I should probably telephone on that matter, but anyway I'd like to do it.

i cant believe you still have the energy to put your misery so eloquently. do you hate all of the strangers giving their unwanted advice at the grocery store yet?
i love your idea of keeping to just the immediate family at the hospital! i wish i would have done that. i was miserable with visitors and hardly had time to recover. i'm definitely stealing your idea next go-round.
well, good luck in the next weeks ahead. i will keep your growing family in my prayers!

As far as the strangers, you just have to kind of smile and nod. As long as they don't touch me without permission, I can deal. I haven't had too many people cross that line, though.
You know, all the books will tell you nothing works to make the baby arrive any faster. Still, there are some home remedies that sound a lot more fun than castor oil, don't you think? You know what I'm talking about... yes the kind of remedies which require your husband.

Oh, I meant to tell you that WIC in GA bites. All they had to offer me was 36 oz of cereal, 1 jar peanutbutter or 1 lb peas/beans, and 4x46 oz of juice a month. If I breastfeed and stay on WIC, then I get to have carrots, too. C'est la vie.

The main thing we use the food for, is to get people to be willing to talk for maybe 5-10 minutes. That isn't always how it works out, but if we can establish something in common with our clients, they often open up and tell us something else they are having problems with, and then my real job begins.
Referal was 60% of my job, there are so many programs out there, but people donot know how to get in contact with them, also so many women I delt with had such shitty situations that they donot know who to turn to.
Also the other thing is that we try to encourage people to take themselves and their kids to a doctor. I worked in CA and we had free health care for the poor, and some people won't use it until we make them.
