Lucky Girl

Published on August 1, 2006 By JillUser In Home & Family

Many of you know that our own dharmagrl is making a kick ass baby blanket for my baby girl. She also received a hula outfit from Texas Wahine. She has a great grandma and great aunt who are quilting for her, a grandma who is knitting for her and today her nana delivered a special crocheted blanket. Lucky girl!

The blanket from nana is special not only because nana finished crocheting it but a dear friend, my sister's MIL, started crocheting it years ago. That dear lady passed away earlier this year and my mom, nana, ended up with the blanket she began making along with the note that told when she started it. It is a beautiful, light yellow crib blanket and I think it is very special. I will have to write the story behind it in her baby book and get a picture of the friend who started it.

Now I just have to convince her to come out and enjoy these gifts!

She's probably just waiting for the unbearable heat wave to pass before deciding it's time to come out and enjoy the fun.

Don't worry about it though, that little one will be here soon tearing into everything and learning from her older siblings

It took music, because she was turned the other way, and sex to make my last child finally deliver! I was one week overdue, it was hot and sticky in NY and I couldn't take it anymore! My doctor told me to try coaxing her with music so that she would turn, and yes that worked when the next day I visited (you know the constant check to see if you've begun dilated), she did get into birthing position!

The sex was my idea, cause I did that with my other two and it worked! Although I read a recent report that it doesn't really work, but I don't agree with them cause it worked for me - three times!

Hang in there Jill, she'll be out soon.

Wow, she is a lucky girl! Handmade gifts I think are so special because they were made specifically for who it was given to, and so much time and thought are put into them. How have you been feeling? Comfortable as possible I hope. I see Alex's has been keeping busy posting articles!

Is that a bribe?

Probably and it probably isn't a bad idea. It sure would be awful to bring a new baby home in a power outage.

She's head down but I don't know what way she is facing. Her brother Ryan had to keep things interesting by coming out face up. That is apparently more difficult and painful than face down but he was still so much easier than his brother that I didn't know any better. As far as sex goes, I won't expound upon that out of respect for people on here who just don't want to go there

How have you been feeling? Comfortable as possible I hope. I see Alex's has been keeping busy posting articles!

As comfortable "as possible". There is no getting "comfortable" at this point but I'm as close to it as possible. I get in my magic chair before bed each night which helps. I have to eat very little bits throughout the day rather than real meals because she is pushing my stomach up into my throat. This body is no longer big enough for both of us.

And yes, Alex has been keeping himself entertained with the computer lately. He's too smart for my own good some times.

Is that a bribe?

Whatever it takes!

I don't agree with them, either...and I am certainly glad my wife never agreed with them on that one...lol!

Of all the suggestions of possible ways to induce labor, I would say the best, most attractive are sex and pedicures. They will give you some enjoyment whether they do any "good" or not so why not?!

What beautiful and thoughtful gifts. Way better than anything you could buy. She IS a lucky girl,and not just cause of the gifts but from all the love already shown to her.

Can you whisper me the day she will make her first appearance? Just so I can answer Question of the Day's article and be right.

Sounds like me, Donna. No matter what trouble we face I always tell Rose sex is the answer.

Believe me, I would if I could! Oh how I wish I knew.
