My midwife swears that the L&D ward is always busier when there is a full moon. (Attila was born at a full moon, and it's true that L&D were full.) So I hope that this one tomorrow is a good strong one... (though I have a friend who's little boy has a Feb 9th birthday, so I'd like to avoid it if I can, but at this point? I will take what I get!)
This weekend was full of spicy food and plenty of walking. (I had classes on Sat and we went to both the mall and the grocery store today) One friend suggested I do a full on "spa night" so I tried that tonight- I even salt scrubbed my elbows.
Don't get me wrong, I really do like being pregnant (even this pregnant) and because this is likely the last time I will be pregnant, I am trying to enjoy it and remember every little thing. I like feeling the baby move, I am not in pain, and I am not uncomfortable in general, but it's the waiting without knowing WHEN that is getting to me. If I could just get over the uncertainty part, I could wait happily.

I think the when is what we're all wondering too. Here is hoping that it isn't too much longer, and that this labor goes quicker than Attilla's. I also hope we're well enough to meet the little girl eventually... cause right now, we're sick enough for banishment from any newborn's life.
I know what you mean - I enjoyed (most of) being pregnant, too. One of the things I liked about the second time is I had a little better idea of what the end was like, so I was a little less stressed about that.
Can't relate to the waiting though - both mine came 2 weeks early.
I know there are lots of old wives' tales and such about bringing on labor, but we've got friends (yes, really, not us) who swear by "what got 'em in, gets 'em out."
Anyway, best of luck and know that a LOT of us are thinking of you and driving up your sitemeter stats. :)
