2:10pm

so sleepy. i just got up but i think i will try to get more sleep.
i haven't slept well in days. and then last night took some tylenolpn (safe for pregnancy) and it has made me very woozy.

yesterday was good, we went to the hospital and registered there. the midwife at the hospital was wonderful! my midwife recommended i see her. and i can see why. i am really pleased to know there are midwives working in hospitals that are so open to homebirths and the whole attitude of homebirths which is basically that the body knows how to give birth and it is best if "medicine" and other things just get out of the way of that process. it's all about the mind and just getting the mind in the state that it supports and gets out of the way of the bodies ability to birth.
(that's how i see it right now and that makes the most sense to me, but i'll see how i feel after i've given birth :)

she said that she rarely ever sees anyone that has to get tranferred in to a hospital from a homebirth because the people who homebirth have such a good attitude towards birthing that everythihng usually turns out just fine :)
this made me happy to hear!

and she gave me good advice on walking a lot during labour instead of laying in the bed. she said that walking it out really helps the process along and leads ot less pain and complications.
also walking helps the bay to rotate into a good position if it hasn't already rotated there.

she said that M and i had "good energy" and she had a really positive feeling that everything would go well for us. i found this shocking for a nurse to say this to me!
usually they do not say things like that. it always has to be based on something scientific.
and she was so gung ho to talk about the mind body connection that it was like a person who had just discovered it or something (which i think she had).
i was delighted that this kind of knowledge was making its way into hospitals :)
lucky for the women who are in her care!

anyway, i can see why my midwife insisted i see HER :)

then we went and sold some of my cds and i received very little $ for them but it was good to get rid of more stuff anyway. i only got $50 for the lot. then bought the new air cd with it, and some dried mangoes, yummy trail mix, and some maple cranberry blueberry granola (slap my hippy ass).

then we went home and watched the pbs special on the mormons (i'm so glad that m likes to watch these things with me ) and then we watched some dangerman after that and the movie "children of men" which was pretty ok but sometimes hard to follow. and we ate greek salad and chicken.

took some tylenolpm and actually zonked out BEFORE 6am...which was a miracle.

now i am going to try and take another nap. i am absolutely wiped. i feel like i need to sleep for days.
