I can't wait to read it! I know the last bits of pregnancy are weird,
and both emotionally and physically difficult. I once read in a book
that this is nature's way of preparing you for birth, changing your
mindset from enjoying pregnancy to wanting to have this kiddo out.
And it *will* come out, that's for sure. So don't be bugged too much
by everyone's expectations, your body will know when it's time.

That's about what one of DH's co-workers told me when I was pregnant
with Julie - the purpose of the ninth month of pregnancy is to make
labor look like a preferable alternative to being pregnant anymore.
Once I'd BTDT, I completely agreed.

stressful/hormonal time, but we are here and will be glad to help if we can.

Yes! We've brought her over to the Dark Side. Now she is as addicted
to m.k.p as the rest of us!

I'm glad you've decided to stick around at least a bit longer, Alicia! Can't
wait for your birth story--hope the home birth is great for you :-)

Can I add my 'me too' voice to the chimes of comments pleased that you are
staying? I am another irregular poster, and I don't reply often, not because
I don't care about the person, but more because I don't feel I have the
experience to reply, or that others may put things better.

I understand how isolating and difficult it can be, at the business end of
pregnancy, and sometimes not really feeling 'part of the group'. (I'm 34
weeks with my first) But we are all here for you, and anxiously awaiting
your news, and willing to help when we can.

Hang in there!

Regards

Lee
