Waiting, Waiting


No news yet, but then I'm still 5 days off the 'due' date. Our midwives, Jillian and Andrea (assisting midwife), came for a home visit today. Jillian reckons that most first babies come 5-10 days over the due date - she says not to be surprised if it happens in the 20's of May!

In the meantime, I'll just keep trying to lean forward or lie on my left hand side - good for encouraging the baby to present in the right position for birth, and to avoid a posterior 'back' labour. Apparently scrubbing floors is a perfect activity, but since when would I do that?

A recent photo of me, since many have been asking - this is at 39 weeks. Noah took it just a couple of days ago. love Erica

Hi everyone - I've just worked out how to change the settings on this thing so you can respond and comment as an 'anonymous' user and not have to create a username or password etc. There have been a few of you that gave up after not being able to sign in, so I think this might work as an alternative?? Sis - you might want to try it out...Erica

Dear Noah and Erica
I hope everything goes well for you. Fleur is having her baby at an aboriginal womens birthing site and we are really looking ofrward to it - it is so lovely to be able to have your baby in a place that is special and close to you rather than a steriel environment.

OH...MY....GOD!!! The anonymous was SO much more simpler than the STUPID 'set up your blog for 3 years and never get in' account.

As I said on the phone, you look so beautiful, and I can't WAIT to hear my little niece/neph gurgling and making little baby sounds over the phone. Next time we chat...you'll be a MOMMIE :)
