We are nearly there, i'm 38 weeks now, very tired and over it but all is well and i'm happy for bub to join us when he's ready. i've finally experienced Braxton Hicks, strange as they weren't painful at all, i was expecting sensations similar to what i felt when i was in early labour with Loki, but it wasn't like that at all, literally just felt like my uterus tightening, funny that, considering that's exactly whats happening, lol.
Well, i guess i should blog about my blessingway! considering it was a week ago! i'll let the pictures mostly speak for themselves, i was too overwhelmed by the vibe of the day to verbalise anything that would do it justice...
My beautiful friend, neighbour and birth attendant, Jenni, hosting the day.
A circle of women.
Just a few of the beautifully crafted quilt squares that were gifted to me. These will all be put together to make a blanket for my birth space.
I put everyone to work colouring in mandalas to make a collage,
more pretties for my birth space.
My henna belly, before, during and after.
My blessingway bounty! including beads for my blessingway necklace that i will wear in labor, quilt squares, mandalas, candles, affirmations flag, and the beautifully handcrafted blessings book made for me by Kint, everyone left me the most wonderfully inspiring and uplifting messages in it, i will treasure it forever.
Belly Buddies, Ebz and I, sharing a laugh and some afternoon tea.
My gorgeous boy, later that night, decided he needed a blessingway necklace too.
I want to thank everyone who came and contributed to the day, it was truely amazing.
