Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I hate to keep harping on my pregnancy coming to an end but it is driving me insane. Tonight happens to be a full moon which you may or may not know, can bring on labor. Or so ‘they’ say! My midwife said that water breaks more on a full moon which makes sense since the oceans are affected by the moon. I was thinking that giving birth on a weekend is best for my family. My daughter is not in school, my husband is available and there is no traffic! It would be easy for everyone (except me because no matter what, it will be hard for me!). My plan of action is going to my moms after I pick up my daughter from school and being she lives at the top of a hill, I may just hike my big butt up their gravity defying driveway once or twice on a full moon! That has to affect something right? If it doesn’t, my back up is walking around at the local zoo with my family and if that doesn’t work, forget it, I am spending the next day in bed eating! Yesterday I washed all my baby clothes and packed what he needs for the birthing center. Being I am not giving birth in a hospital, you have to provide your own diapers, blankets and clothes. He is all packed and ready and I am 1/2 packed but I know exactly what I am bringing and will throw it in a bag when the time comes. I cant wait to be done, get fit and feel normal again!! I want to meet our son so badly and see who he looks like! Our daughter looks EXACTLY like my husband so I am hoping that my son has something of me! I want my old clothes with zippers and buttons and no elastic! I want to wear high heels without feeling like I’m going to fall! I want to sleep on my back and stomach and I want to be able to cuddle with my husband without the baby kicking him!! I know there are women out there who are jealous of me being able t have babies and be pregnant but I am jealous of them being skinny and normal! The grass is always greener isn’t it? Well, wish me luck and that mother nature is on my side!!
