Tincture And Oils Its Finally Friday!

Hi folks!
We finally made it to another Friday. After yesterdays relaxing birthday, today proved to be a busy day for me. There was a lot of cooking involved beside all the homeschooling I did.

I got in my third work out of the week tonight, so I feel good about that. But I am very happy that tomorrow is Saturday, and I cant wait to go to bed tonight.

I just thought Id share with you all what I have started to take to help "soften" my cervix for our babys birth. My midwife recommended 1,300 milligrams of evening primrose oil. They come in soft gel form. I alternate taking three one day and two the next.

Then, instead of drinking five cups of raspberry leaf tea like my midwife suggested, I decided to go with the tea in extract form. The lady who helped me called it a "tincture". I put about 30 to 40 drops in some water and drink it like that. She assured me that it had the same strength as tea. I decided to go with it this way because I knew I would not want to make five cups of tea a day. Plus this version seemed to be a little cheaper. One of these ounces may last me about ten days.

When I went to the gym tonight, its fun to talk to people about the upcoming birth. There is this excitement in the air because Im beginning to get close to having this baby.

Do you realize Im only eighteen days away from my due date?

After as long as Ive been pregnant, it is exciting to me to think that very soon Ill be able to meet this little baby and add him to our family.

Today I saw a picture of a little baby girl in the newspaper who had been born on the way to the hospital. Her little face was so cute! I dont think I will have to worry about this baby being born en-route since we live only three blocks from the hospital. Heck, it will probably be good for me to walk there...it will help the contractions to get going.

Not.

I dont like to do a bunch of walking during my labor. I just like to stand and sway.

Wow. Even though Ive had five kids, I feel like Im entering uncharted water with this one because of the fact that every labor is different. Oh well.

I think I need to hit the sack now.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Well be visiting with some family and celebrating a bunch of birthdays tomorrow.

Have a good one!

Sincerely,
Sunshine Mama
