Still hanging in there. This is my last day to have an October baby. I just don't think that I am going to make it. Sigh......
Off to go shopping this morning. I have tons of places to go and all kinds of stuff to get. I have started preparing freezer meals for my family for while I am in labor and after the baby is born to make things easier on myself and my husband during that time period. We also need groceries for the week and so much other stuff. I have several stops to make today so ...

So I had an appointment with my midwife yesterday and she never showed up. Never called. Nothing. This is not the first time this sort of thing has happened.

#2 My DATES CAME!!! I got to order 10 pounds of Barhi dates from The Date People for my birthday and they arrived Friday, just in time for the Harvest Party at our church. So now the children ...

So detoxing in your ninth month of pregnancy is not fun. I am glad that I am eating raw again, I feel so much healthier, and better out than in right? But the detox is wiping me out. My head feels like it has been hit by a mack truck and my nose has not stopped running all day. I have gone through two boxes of tissues so far today and am steadily working on the third.
