Goodnight First!! :D

Dystopia; oh of course, I mean anything we're not knowledgeable about is scary and foreign. I grew up around natural birth so it just seems like such a natural choice. I mean if there were reasons for me not to have one, or not to be able to then of coruse it would be different. But as of right now there doesn't seem to be any reason why I shouldn't be able to give birth totally natural. :) Once I actually informed my best friend she was like "oh, well shoot girl you got this then, just stay strong through the pain"
We're going to try to skype if she isn't in classes. LOL though she says depending on the class she can either have the video up in class rooting me on or she can skip class all together.

My family has been doing natural birth for as long as I know, same as family friends and whatnot. Actually the only one of my cousins that wasn't was my younger cousin who was born preemie BUT there were complications from the get go and of course we knew he wouldn't be able to be born naturally anyways. My aunt was already in her early 40's and had health issues through the entire pregnancy.

@ Veno - I'm glad that you got such a great support network going, especially with all the other stress in your life to go on top of the baby. You definitely seem to have your shit together. Good job!

The 700-sided dice lands on 227

Thank you. :) I'm definitely one of those over organized people that make sure all the ducks are not only in a row but are by size and color. I don't like leaving things to the unknown if I can help with, least when it comes to important things. Well I'm pretty go with the flow EXCEPT important things like baby, school, work etc. If it's just other things in life like day to day life and whatnot I just let the pieces fall where they may.

@ veno so is this your first child? I remember when my wife "isis" had ours.... I was scard the entire time.

The 700-sided dice lands on 567

Hey, its not a bad way to handle things. Especially when its your body on the line. It sounds like you're gonna be just fine.

The 700-sided dice lands on 678

Lord Angel; Is there a nickname you go by or is that okay? This is my first child.

Dystopia; Exactly. When it comes to important things I have things all planned out. Lol My mom calls me a control freak sometimes, but hey I like being in control.

Speaking of bodies...we rode the light rail in and let me tell you, there are some people in Phoenix that do not bathe on a regular basis. The smell alone made me a bit queasy.

Queen; Yikes I had plenty of customers like that when I worked at a gas station. ;o One women in particular and her teenage daughter. I mean and they SHOPPED at this particular convenience store/gas station. So they would walk around and around. I hated to be rude, so I waited until they left and would have to spray the whole store with some smelly good spray. I mean it would legit make customers just leave the store and my eyes would water checking them out. What's the sad thing is they smelled that way by CHOICE. They live in a really nice house and drive a Mercedes for crying out loud. D; I don't understand.

... What a nightmare. Good hygiene is important!

The 700-sided dice lands on 619

Right? I mean I just can't even grasp that. I mean okay sure we got construction workers that made you want to just gag but I mean they work outside in the heat all day. lol So I mean okay you have a reason to smell. But these two? I just have no idea.
I work out in the garden and stuff like that and I don't think I've ever actually smelled like body odor and death.

The 700-sided dice lands on 485

Not sure how people get used to their own scent. It's disgusting.

One of the interesting persons on the train definitely had some mental issues going on. Talking to herself, yelling, then random singing. She was almost kicked off because she didn't have a pass to ride the light rail. Some nice person gave her an extra pass to ride. Her smell got really bad when she went digging through her "bag" to find her pass.

Queen; I don't understand it either. This woman use to work at walmart before she inherited a whole boatload of money. I mean insane amount of money. My dad installed the flooring of the house she lives in now. Says her house is clean as a whistle so not sure why they smell. Not like they have a real "reason" to.

Holy smokes my baby must know it's his due date. He's like crazy active and pushing around. Lol Trying to like push through my belly I swear! Haha and downwards. :P I'm pretty sure he wants out.

The 700-sided dice lands on 495

Lord Angel; Okay. :) I just like to call people by what they prefer on here.
Oh I adore children. My nieces were my heart before my son. They still have my heart, but of course it's not the same. They will always be my little fairies though <3
He's actually due today. :P But I don't expect him today. They always say babies are late especially your first one.

Time for me to hit the sheets. I am super tired from the baseball game. I will be back in the morning. Will post a third game on the first page should someone get the 2nd game number.

Alright Queen :) Goodnight and sweet dreams. Thank you for this wonderful thread by the way. <3

@ veno: my first duaghter was about 5 weeks early. Isis ended up with preeclampsia and they had to enduce labor in order to save both her and our child

@ Queen Andias: have a good night! Ill be going to bed after I finish the dungeon finder I'm working on
The 700-sided dice lands on 672

Gotcha, that's really good they did that. Thankfully I haven't had any complications *knock on wood* Now if everything else could just go as smoothly I will be even more thankful.

I actually worked with a girl who on top of major complications the entire pregnancy, she had to be induced at 24 weeks. D; I just couldn't imagine. She was carrying twins and they are about 3 months old now and hopefully will be able to leave the hospital within the next week or two. They finally got moved out of the NICU about a week ago. It's amazing what technology can do now a days.

The 700-sided dice lands on 674

Twins at 24 weeks yikes they would be tiny little things. Other then complications as they were born? they are okay right? Poor things.

I expected to be pages back. I guess the event died down.

Yeah I think combined they weighted barely 3 lbs. It was really scary. We were both at 24ish weeks so I was like ";o that could of been me!" So far they seem to be doing good though. Haven't had any real scares, or at least none they've talked about. I know the twins still take oxygen occasionally throughout the day and night but they are slowly being weened off of that too.

Aw. I want twins when I have kids.

First; @_@ You go right for it. I'm sure I would maybe choose that but not in my current situation at all. I wouldn't have any hair left. Lol And then it's literally twice as expensive. All at once. Just wow. No. haha. kudos to anyone with/wanting multiples.

The chances of me having twins is pretty high. I'd like twins so that my children would always have a companion like I did.

There hasn't been a set of twins in my family. Ever. Lol

I grew up with an older brother until he ran away from home when I was like 7-8 (he was 16) and I didn't see him again til I was a teenager and he didn't live with us again so yeah. Lol I Grew up basically as an only child. I loved it.
