Still waiting and a little retail therapy

I went to see my midwife today to see if I was progressing.  A little progress, but nothing to brag about! :o)  I know it will come soon enough.  Marc went to my appointment with me today.  When we left he took me to my favorite Mexican Restaurant.  It is one that I have gone to numerous times during this pregnancy with whichever child went to my appointment with me.  Fun memories....
After we ate I told him that I could use some retail therapy to get my mind on other things than having a baby. I hit Bath and Bodyworks and bought several bottles of soap that I didn't need! (I love that store!) We found several cute things for Mariah and Malachi on a clearance rack.  Then I found this steal of a deal for McKenzie.  It was $65, marked down to $40,   70% off and I had a $10 coupon.  The grand total was...........$2!  I love deals like that!  She had been wanting a cute spring purse.

We left the shopping area and headed back to the small town that we live close to.  I hit the health food store for some more red raspberry tea leaves.  McKenzie (my personal herbalist!) has had me drinking quarts and quarts and quarts............. :o)   We then went to the grocery store.  I have been paranoid making sure that our kitchen is stocked for the big day!  One of the last things on my "to do before baby" list was to get a bow for the mailbox.  It was bittersweet getting it because my mom has always made my bow for the baby.  I wanted to laugh when the lady handed it to me.  My mom always made BIG beautiful bows!  This one was kind of pitiful.  As we left the store I told Marc if my mom could see down from heaven I bet she was laughing at my bow! :o)

Madeline wants to be at the birth this time.  To help prepare her, we pulled out one of my birth videos. I probably shouldn't have watched it.  It makes me dread it even more!  So, I guess it is off to my bed to read some more of my "Super-natural Childbirth" book (the chapter on fear!) and drink some more raspberry tea!

Good-night!  Maybe the next time I post on here I will have a baby!  Don't hold your breath though! :o)
