I am 37 and half weeks pregnant with my third (I have a 3 year old daughter and an almost 2 year old son). I don't look or feel as good as you do right now. I know you consider pregnancy to be a blessing, but I just want to hold my baby in my arms and be done with the pregnancy (I really am a terrible pregnant lady). You sound so calm and at ease. Maybe it is the tea. I hope and pray that you have an easy delivery/labor and a healthy baby. My SIL tried the Bradly method with her third and it went really well. I am actually having a c-section. With my first I tore so badly and then with my second I needed a c-section and I did not realize the new practice that my doctor is at will not let you have a VBAC so a c-section it is. I wish you the best. :) Wow! You look amazing and have such a great attitude. I am 37 and half weeks pregnant with my third (I have a 3 year old daughter and an almost 2 year old son).

Good luck with the birth - hope all goes smoothly. I can't wait to see pics of the new little one! Good luck with the birth - hope all goes smoothly.

Wow! I love reading your pregnancy updates. :) I'm 26 weeks, and cracking down on preparation for my upcoming VBAC. I can't have a homebirth, so I will be giving birth in a birthing center within a hospital, but I met with my new midwife today, and explained to her what I want and need, and told her that I don't even want anyone coming near me during the birth LOL. I want NO interventions whatsoever. I absolutely love my midwife and my doula, and I'm confident this birth will be 209348023984 times better than my first! You look gorgeous! Wow! I love reading your pregnancy updates. :)

My nutrient tea came from my naturopath's office, and the red raspberry is from a local company called Gaia's Garden. I just use a french press (as in, one meant for coffee) and brew it full of tea, then sip on it throughout the day. If you want to buy bagged tea, I know that Traditional Medicinals makes a nice Red Raspberry Leaf tea. Wow, congrats C! Praying this time for a healthy pregnancy and baby!

I am at 35 weeks and headed for another 9 lb+ baby it seems. (My others were 8-8 two weeks early and 9-9, so 9 seems normal). :P I too have had the strongest cleaning urges (scrubbing all the tubs and wood floors!) Thank you for the reminder about the herbs - I need to get on that! You look great! I am at 35 weeks and headed for another 9 lb+ baby it seems.

Looking at your to do (and to-done!) lists makes me hurt.. I'll be "officially" 36 weeks tomorrow, I think, and am having a hard time keeping up with the 'regular' stuff, let alone the "baby preparedness" plan! My midwife has me on the Gentle Birth stuff, and it's not bad at all, herb-wise. My previous midwife had me taking tinctures of blue (?) cohosh 3 times a day, and some other stuff - now THAT was nasty. What an additional blessing after delivery to do away with THAT routine! :) Whew! Looking at your to do (and to-done!) lists makes me hurt..

I'm glad you have been able to get so much done in preparation of the birth of your precious little one. Our son ended up coming 4 weeks early and while things at home were finished I hadn't even thought about packing for our stay at the birthing center. We just found out that we are expecting our 3rd. I'm still really early in this pregnancy (only about 6 weeks), so by March we should be the blessed parents of 3 under the age of three! You look great!

I have been reading for about 3 or 4 months now and it has helped me to make the deicision to attempt a natural childbirth with our first, due Sept 20th :) I am so excited to meet this little one after a long struggle getting pregnant (as I also have PCOS). I am in my 30th week and still scrambling to finish quite a bit before this baby comes. We were in the middle of quite a few remodeling projects when we found out we were pregnant...lol. I will feel much more prepared when the hardwood floors are refinished. I agree with previous posters, I love reading your blog!

I've been enjoying reading your blog for many months, but especially lately because I'm at 34 weeks with my third too, and also have a 5 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. I've started to feel tired too, and huge, and all of that, but as you say, the end result is so worth it. I also think seeing their mama struggle (I had bad nausea until 20 weeks, and now have nasty back spasms) has taught my children a lot about empathy, being kind, and the importance of us all helping each other. I love being able to see the silver lining on hard days. Good for you getting so much done!
