Nice needles
What a bad blogger I am, no posts for ages and ages now. I keep looking at my blog and thinking I should write something, but nothing is happening.
Nothing nothing nothing.
Well, a few little things have happened (my mum arrived from New Zealand to help with the baby - that is pretty cool!), but I am still pregnant (so there is no baby yet which is not so cool), and quite frankly I've had enough already. I actually still have one week to go officially, so can't even really get justifiably impatient, but impatient I am all the same. I can't even complain and say that I am too heavy, hot, uncomfortable, tired and whatever other things women complain about at this stage because the slightly irritating truth is that I feel fine! I felt worse a month ago but now seem to have a renewed sense of energy and vigour, and people tell me I'm 'blooming' and never looked better. But I don't care - I still want it out! I have been having acupuncture which I think has helped immeasurably with the nausea and tiredness etc that I felt a month ago, so now I just have to convince the acupuncturist to go to work with those inducing labour points, only I don't think he's allowed to do that until I reach the deadline. Damn responsible health practitioners.
Acupuncture is great though - I'd never had it before and am now a total convert. There is a point he uses to calm the mind which is just above the bridge of your nose between the eyebrows, and when he puts the needle in I swear my eyes glaze over and I can barely speak for the next half hour I am so relaxed - it's great!
We are in the year of the Fire Dog in the Chinese horoscope so I had decided if our little firedog baby had come yesterday - which was the 13th of the month AND a full moon - that it might have been a werebaby! That would have been very exciting, but no such luck.
Can't think of any other auspicious dates in the next few days/weeks to get excited about... perhaps that's for the best though as I'll only end up disappointed when it picks an otherwise totally ordinary day to be born.
Anyway back to my waiting now.
Waiting, waiting, waiting...

FIRE DOG
Fire Dogs are natural leaders. Fire Dogs are popular, charismatic people, always surrounded by a group of admirers. Not only admired for their vibrant personalities, these Dogs also possess a sexual attractiveness that makes them irresistible. These people are adventurous and vivacious, yet, honest and openhearted. However, because they are so active, they are generally not the settle down type.
AT HOME WITH THE DOG
Dogs like clean residences. Not only straightened-up, but also deep cleaned. Changed sheets, washed clothes, dusted blinds and wiped down mirrors are only a few of the Dogs weekly chores. His home must be well-organized and easy to navigate all of the time. Dogs want to be comfortable and take luxury in overstuffed pillows, big, cushy couches and oversized recliners. Although they are open-minded, Dogs prefer to stick with traditional décor when decorating a room.
