No Not Yet
I realized today that something has really been bugging me. It seems like everyone is constantly asking me "have you had the baby yet" or "when's the baby coming" or something to that effect. And as a direct result of this constant badgering, I have begun to feel RUSHED. It's hard for me to think about anything else anymore, too. And that's...

and that is what you should be doing, don't think about what every one else thinks.
It has been a long day, but it went by kinda fast. I spent the day in & out of the birthing pool (with & without Katana), cleaning the house, smoking cigarettes & pot occasionally, masturbating once, having sex once, drinking water laced with blue cohosh (supposedly an herb that helps labor along), & watching episodes of 30 Days while bouncing on my birthing ball....

I'm trying not to get my or anyone else's hopes up; however, I am feeling quite laborious. Yes, I looked up the spelling on that one.
Last night, I dreamed of unattended births & waterbirths. The dreams are a blu, but I remember that the tone of the dreams was happy.
At one point in the wee hours of morning I remember feeling as though...

cool!!

Wow! Good for you! That's awesome! If that's what you want to do then go for it! People probably only freak out because they're obsessed with their doctors and drugs and feeling the "pain" (= experience)...
Again...GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Intense contractions, elevated blood pressure, & upset stomach all night, but to no avail. Just like every morning, the contractions have stopped. I'll be monitoring my blood pressure today to see if I need to go to the hospital for an induction (the last thing I want). I have to put the baby 1st & my wishes for a truly natural birth 2nd. *SIGH*

You are right putting the baby first. I hope your day will be fine and the blood pressure stays within the normal range.
I'm really sorry about your relationship. *sigh*
Have a *tight hug* and you surely are most beautiful

I found out that I can get legal services to help me with my bankruptcy & that I don't have to pay for them. That's super. Special thanks to Gabriel's mother for that info. I'll be callling the law firm when I'm ready (after baby comes).

I'm up early today. Of course, I never actually went to sleep last night. There were some brief occurrances of sleep in between the many many trips to the bathroom. I was peeing a lot more than normal & having contractions & back pain. Plus the indigestion, nausea, & headache...I'm thinking that labor is impending soon. I could be wrong, though, as I have been...

Have a nice day and try to relax at some point, k?

I just got a new phone number. It will go straight to voicemail & I'll be able to check the messages while I'm online or from a phone. It's a Tuscaloosa #205-409-0799.
gothikai:
PS: Only I have access to the voicemail.
I don't see how it can be possible for me to be this tired. I haven't really done anything. I was up a little late, puking & such, but I think I went to bed before 2am & I slept until almost noon. All I've done today is make food for me & Katana, wash a few dishes & clothes, change a few diapers, play...

Maybe you slept too much.
I really need some advice. I'm getting some very nasty phone calls from collection agencies & it's really stressing me out. I did some math today & I have 14 maxxed out credit cards equalling over $25,000 in debt. I know that is completely monstrous & that I was very irresponsible. I'm really not sure what I was thinking, but I know I have got...

first you may want to check the state bankrutpcy laws since they very from state to state.i have a friend in NC.who got help filling out his forms from by finding a lawyer who did pro-bono work by looking on line.but i do beleave cunningquist is correct that the federal fees must be paid up front.also i'm sure if you can find a borders or barnes and nobels you can find a book on the forms to help ya,or go to the library.there may also be publicly funded lawyers to handle your needs in or around a large city near you,check bermingham directory..good luck.
Today is going by pretty quickly & yet completely uneventfully.I'm trying to feng shui my home, but it costs a lot. Damn it. Anyone want to donate some items to my cause?
I need a pink or red fitted queen-sized sheet, 6 pink or red throw pillows, pink or red candles, red ribbon, some quartz crystals, some pieces of amethyst, a black onyx, some bamboo...

zen,
8 days until my due date.
The midwife is still going to attend. Thank the powers that be.
If I could chose Kagome's birthday, I'd pick the 10th.
Then she could share with my brother.
I'm having 2nd thoughts about the middle name, Noelani.
It sounds too much like "Noel" which seems too Christian.
I have to revisit my baby names list for more options!...
