yes. i am so ready for this baby to get here. there is nothing that i *need* to do anymore... one or two things i'd like to do, which i will do tomorrow barring interference, but nothing pressing or that i really care if i don't do. i'm ready to settle in now.
i've been trying to find some labor-starting rituals (which do not involve any induction) and pretty much coming up blank. these various birthing rituals were interesting, though. i read something in a book (?) about untying all knots when labor starts to make sure nothing is holding it up--i might try wearing my hair down as a "ritual" until he's born... i'm always one for the utilitarian bun (especially at my length, right to the buttcrack!) so it will be sort of a big deal to keep it down. it'll take effort to remember not to whip it up. hm. *untwists her hair this very moment*
seriously though, i sort of thought i would find something--on kooky pagan sites at the very least--but there doesn't seem to much out there. i guess i'll have to do it the old-fashioned way and just get in the belly and try to let him know we're ready for him. it is his call, after all. emotionally i am feeling very calm and relaxed. energetically i'm a little jazzed and being quite productive without being frantic. physically i'm not as tired as i should be, but quite uncomfortable nonetheless. the house is ready, he has clothes and diapers and toys and slings and all that jazz. i think i will lay out my crystals and refine the birthing space with intention tonight... maybe that will help. and i should do some astrological checking to see what we're in for with a baby born over the next two weeks or so! can't believe i haven't done that yet...
