I have to come up with my "birth plan" in the next few weeks. For all those that are unfamiliar with more of this baby jargon a birth plan is just making a "tentative" plan on how I'd like Jackson's birth to be, but it's just a plan and you have to be ready for adjustments to the plan depending on the baby, the birth, and the situation. I was planning on trying to labor for as long as I could before having the epidural and now I am sort of, kind of, considering delaying it unless I can't handle the pain. But I'm sure as most of you guys know I'm whiny and fairly weak. I'm not sure how long I could really go, but all this depends on the pain. The good thing about this little stint is that I think I'm gonna make a trip to the library and research this whole birthing thing.
I'm feeling very squashed. I think that Jackson has lodged himself into my right side as my ribcage feels like it is expanding on one side and it really hurts. I also feel him thumping around under my right breast and down on the bottom of my belly. I was talking to my mom and she said that I was a permanent fixture in that area. I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to the next few months. I guess I should plan on being a lot more squashed. I just hope that I can breathe.
