the essence

Sunday evening I was relaxing in a lukewarm bath (I can't wait to get it nice & hot again!) & the baby got the hiccups. It was so funny because when she would hiccup the water would reverberate around me. I don't think I got a lot of reading done.

I had my prenatal check-up yesterday & the midwife told me that the earliest she would let me go into labor with me being able to deliver at the birthing center & not be taken to the hospital is...Sunday. As in this Sunday, November 5. What a relief! Thank goodness for having several "estimated" due dates. Not that I think I'll go into labor next week but it's nice to hit the safe zone.

I really was going to write more but unfortunately my morning nausea seems to have returned this week & I'm not much in the mood to write at the moment.
