It's strange when you are pregnant, that things like big crowds of people can make you feel claustrophobic like never before. I think the only other time I felt claustrophobic was when my friend Maggie and I were about a 1/2 mile back in a cave in Arkansas and I thought there might be snakes or bats might drop off the ceiling.
I'm predicting that this baby is going to come before April 2nd. Maybe, I'm just saying that because I'm stuck with a foot in my rib constantly at this point, but I really do think the baby will come early. Yesterday, I was talking to a man who looked like Mr. Miyagi, he predicted the same thing (I wasn't even asking!), and you know Mr. Miyagi has some sort of strange wisdom:)!
As much as I may sound like I'm so excited to start giving birth, I'm not. I'm totally freaked out, but I guess it's just one of those things you know you have go through. I'm more than thankful that I have a loving and supportive husband who will be there with me. I can't stop thinking, dang Eve for eating that apple, this might be an enjoyable process if she hadn't done that:). Now that we have cable T.V. I can watch those ridiculous birthing shows. One lady walked into the E.R., not knowing that she was even pregnant, the baby literally fell out of her as she was checking in! Haha, not too sure about that, but maybe that will happen to me, please Lord:).

So...how much unsolicited baby-birth-experience advice have you received? I have some GOOD stories, and I love to tuck first time mommies under my wing and lovingly tell them the things NO ONE (!!!!!) ever told me happens after you have a baby naturally. These sorts of surprises should never be sprung upon a woman. :)
I'm loving your baby updates!!! And I adore those name choices.
Love,

I was like you, pretty scared and not really understanding what was going to happen (as nobody can really prepare you because you can't exactly know ahead of time how your own body will uniquely do things) but I figured that the gist of it was that the baby would eventually come out. And 3x later, that's still true-- a whole variety of things can happen, but in the end the baby must and does come out, that is the true goal and will indeed happen no matter what else happens ;) (And yes, for your sake, I hope you don't have to wait too long)
Thanks Kit .. yeah, I came to the realization last weekend that I can't get around the fact that the baby will come out. Now I'm just reckoning with that fact. It will be interesting for sure!
