I have no idea about hypnobirthing. I went through this last birth completely unprepared. I just said I'd see how it goes. Now the contractions started at 5cm so I had a head start. I was trying to avoid an epidural - I don't know how I thought I was going to achieve that with no plan. So if it sounds like something you are interested in, go for it.

On the crockpot topic:

By the way, I cooked steel cut oatmeal overnight for breakfast monday morning. Mmmm good. Served with pecans, pomegranate seeds, milk, syrup. Lily liked decorating hers.

Also I was looking at this site lately to get inspiration.

Apparently she used her crockpot as a smoker. I smoke on the grill, but this intrigues me. I might have to try it just because.

Change in note....since I'm waiting for the on call doc to call me back to give me the go ahead to head to the hospital. Now I need to pack a bag.....These contractions are slightly easier to deal with sitting up.

I was so stupid last night and stayed up til 1 watching desperate housewives on Netflix. I'm sure I'll pay for it today. J has a friend coming over all day so no nap for me but at least he'll be entertained and I can get some cleaning done.
