soon. very soon.
done already three acupuncture sessions with nadav. now they are more painful cause he’s using thicker needles. yesterday he even tried to electrocute me using electrodes, but i didn’t like the feeling, so he stopped the procedure.
noah is still sick, but i sent him to be with my parents cause i had some checkups earlier and even if i didn’t, i’m not very nice to be around these days. so i spared him.
i had another acupuncture session with nadav today. this time nadav used more needles and tried to induce labor. he said that now i look ready for labor other than that i drank castor oil. this is not a very nice experience, but i expected worse. this is also supposed to induce labor. noah is at home with a high fever and we watch alot of tv together. there are some new good kids shows which i rather enjoy. i have to go be with noah now, i’ll try to come back later with interesting stuff.
today is my due date, but babies rarely check the calender. i have a doctors appointment now, lets see what she says, although i’d rather hear what my midwife has to say.
i am very pleased about my visit to nadav the acupuncturist. he was very good. he’s also a nice person. i like him.
strange things nadav has in his clinic: a huge ear, the book “spleen and stomache” and this disturbing image (actually a series of three):
during the treatment my eyes were aimed directly at the guys privates. link to image source
p.s. i’m ill since yesterday. sore throat.
i am sooo tired. i decided to take my midwife’s advice and tonight i’m going to be stabbed by tiny needles, or in other words, i’m going to an acupuncturist. His son, Stav, was in the kindergarten with Noah. Limor, his wife, had a c-section first time round and a vbac second time round, so it was nice talking to her about this. furthermore, first time she gave birth at the same hospital i did, lees, in tel-aviv and second time she gave birth in laniado, Netanya, and had a wonderful experience. that’s the hospital i’m going to give birth in this time.
went to see my doctor today. the baby still wont budge. he’s getting big, so he’s got to get out soon or he’ll be too big for me to give birth vaginally. i will tell him later today that he may now come out. I didn’t want him to come out before, but now I understand that he has to. I will try and instruct him on how to do that properly.
so I think he’ll probably be born tomorrow or by tuesday. contractions haven’t started yet, but i can arrange for them to start later today, with the power of my mind. i am not joking, so maybe i’m a little naive or even stupid.
can’t have them start before tonight because Noah has invited me today to an open music class, to celebrate the end of the season. He really loves this class and it’s very important for him and for me that I come see it.
Other than that, it’s euro 2008 final tonight and James wants to watch it with friends.
there’s something i’ve been meaning to tell you.
i have a cat. her name is anna frank, but nobody calls her that, everybody calls her tuly.
she was named anna frank because at first, when she decided to adopt us, we still had two dogs (that’s for another post) and she used to live in a box behind the blinds. every time our dogs would come sniff the area, i would close the blinds and tell them there’s no one there. eventually we all lived happily together.
here she is in my red envirosax shopping bag:
my washing machine is making ominous sounds
i haven’t gone into labor yet, i am just too tired to write anything or look for something new to post.
what can i say? it’s been a tough day.
