okay, formerly pregnant ladies...lots of excuses. i guess i should at least thank you for telling me that i can refuse to be checked...i can do that?!! i can tell her that she's not allowed to check me?!! i'm gonna try that next week. i'll let you know...i'm not very good at being a difficult patient...speaking up for myself...guess i better learn. note to self: say no to cervical dialation checks before labor actually begins, say no to stripping of membranes (that SOUNDS painful!!!), say no to breaking of water. thanks girls!!! now, your assignment is to tell me what i should pack for the hospital...what are the hospital "musts"??? and for those of you who birth at home...pretend like you HAVE to go to the hospital...what would you want to have with you???
finished jackson's room today. (sidenote: not sure that is his official name...just like calling him something other than "what's his name") here are a few pictures...okay, a lot of pictures:
