In our labor massage class that Kayu and I took last month, we learned about some acupressure points that are supposed to induce labor. We decided to test them out and all I was left with was Kayu's thumb print on my leg. We will give it a couple of hours to see if Kayu has the magical touch =)
Join us for a day at our 350 acre scenic farm and retreat center learning how to grow, preserve, and support local grown food. Discover local resources, learn new skills, network and enjoy two delicious meals produced with locally raised foods.
Kayu and I decided to join the hippies in Colorado (some of which unfortunately did not wear deodorant) at Sunset Ranch. We spent the day attending different workshops...composting, canning, and cheese making. Now Kayu and I dream about cheese and we are thinking about buying a cow share =)
We finally got our wedding video...along with some gourmet chocolate chunk n' caramel popcorn to enjoy while we watched it. I'll be sure to post the link to the highlight reel once they post it on their blog. We have six copies of the DVD...so the first ones to come visit the baby will get a consolation prize =)
Your
baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average
cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers —
which she'll need to regulate her body temperature once she's
born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is
also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is
maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If
you've been nervous about preterm
labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34
and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do
fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and
may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run,
they usually do as well as full-term babies.
