Midwife visit

Lydi visited on Saturday. Another lovely conversation. She measured me and said "why was it that I wrote down that you would be late?". I told her because I have gone late before, etc etc. and that I seemed this time to be starting out slowly. She said that I caught up and that I'm looking like I'm right on track. That's a relief. It seems I really started to grow after I found Lydi. She had her new fetascope brought to her from Denmark. She wasn't as happy with it because it was larger then the one she used to have. She said she could feel the vibration of the heartbeat but not really hear it. Everytime she put the fetoscope on my belly, Baby Jade would kick at it- it was so funny! Lydi said, "I sure can hear the kicks!"

I've been listening to the Calm Birth meditations. I like it. I stay awake more then with Hypnobabies, which I'm doing, too. I like the Calm birth book, too. Here's the website...
http://www.calmbirth.org/index.html Too bad all the classes are too far away. I like the whole idea. Strange that it's started by a man, though. But his theory is interesting. I'll incorporate it into this birth and see how it goes. Perhaps one day I'll attend the seminars and teach Calm Birth. I think I'd enjoy that- sort of a first step to becoming a midwife. If I do. Who knows? It's at least 5 years out. Probably more.

I feel good. Got a lot going on around here, but I feel good.
