I just uploaded a picture of the FULL MOON from the hospital (work at UNC) window....
So, if I were to be a twilight novel, my title would be FULL MOON! It's officially a full moon so I think it's time for baby birthing. Parker Jay was born on a full moon at 39 and 1 weeks. I may be repeating myself but I was just hoping maybe Seth would be a little earlier than Parker Jay. I'm getting so nervous. Things change so quickly; right now I could be sitting here blogging and in 2 hours, my water could break and panic could ensue. Well, at least I'm hoping that's the case. I mean, one of my coworkers said tonight, "that baby, he's GOT to come, he doesn't have a choice." I mean, I guess I could go down in Ripley's Believe it or not as the lady in the world who was pregnant the longest. What a way to be remembered. And, I know that I talk like I'm 44 weeks pregnant or something. But, honestly, if you've seen my feet and cankles overlapping my shoes....you'd understand. I mean, I have a small FRAME...I'm 5 foot and 1/2 inch on tall days. My belly and boobs aren't supposed to get this big. It's insane!
Anyways, my point is that it's a full moon. And, I would like to think that my body is sensitive and "in touch" with nature and rhythms and cycles. (even though I work nightshift!!) I would like to think that I would be able to get into a yoga position, close my eyes, outstretch my arms and say "ohm..." and GUSH...the rest would be history.
I sent a patient to Labor and delivery tonight who was prematurely in labor and contracting off the chain. I kept telling her that I would take it all from her if she'd give me her juju. It's my FRIGGIN turn already!
Gosh, I just can't wait to see his face, his perfect little nose and hands. And, Lord knows I love the baby feet!!!! I wonder if he has a lot of hair.
For now, you're in suspense, just like me.
I'll keep you updated. You know, I'm trying to pass the time!
Hugs and baby love...and LABOR JUJU!

About Me
- Oak City Books
- Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
