Q & A time

To answer some questions that I'm sure many of you have but Kelsey was beautifully tactful about actually asking (and without making me mad - good job, Kelsey!), here is a short Q & A session for you.

Q: Do you plan on being induced at any point?
A: No, unless there is some medical reason (meaning my life or the baby's is in danger). In my opinion, inductions are for the parents' convenience (most of the time), and if the baby is not done baking, I'm not going to hurry it out because I'm inconvenienced. Again, this is my opinion and my choices are based on that and I care not what other people choose to do with their childbirth choices - just don't judge mine.

Q: What happens if you go into labor while the movers are supposed to be at your house?
A: My dad will be here the whole time the movers are here, and he will oversee the paperwork and packing.

Q: What happens if you go into labor on the closing date?
A: If I'm in labor, then the closing date will move. Simple as that. If I'm recovering from delivery, Kevin will drive up to Montgomery with a Power of Attorney, sign all the documents, and then come back here and get me. And my mom will be here the day after my dad leaves so she'll help, too.

Q: Where will you go to labor while your house is being packed up if you're in labor while the movers are there?
A: Kevin and I will go to my friend's house. She and her family have graciously said they'd let us labor there are as long as we need (in fact, she told me her kids are secretly hoping we have to use their house so they can help us). I will not be going to the hospital until my contractions are close enough that our doula deems we need to hit the road pronto.

Q: Are you having any labor signs?
A: As of my visit with my midwife on Friday morning, I am 1cm dilated and 60% effaced and the baby's head is engaged. Other than that, no.

Q: Are you really going to have a natural labor - no drugs or anything?
A: Yes. My body is made to do this. God and Kevin and our doula will give me the support I need. No Pitocin, no Epidural, no episiotomies. The only way drugs will get into my body is if my midwife determines that my life or our baby's life is in danger.

Q: Really?
A: Yes, really.

The following is said in a nice, sweet, Cameron voice: This is the last time I am officially explaining and defending our childbirth choices. If I have to do this again, the next post you read will be written from my jail cell because I will have killed the person who asked.

Big smile!
Love, Cameron

If you want to remove their ads and put your own, you must
upgrade to a paid e-store. Thrifty Car Rentals does have some of the cheapest rates
anywhere, and with unlimited milage. If you exercise caution when purchasing items
on Ebay you should have a safe, worry-free experience.

Christmas and birthdays: a great time to send over a thoughtful gift or Email.

Band members, band parents, siblings of band members and band parents, friends of band members or band parents are
all potential volunteers for a yard sale meant to benefit the school band.
If you come across furniture that does not capture your attention, you are better off looking for an alternative.

Do this before doing anything such as public speaking, entering
a party, speaking to someone, etc. falls slightly behind the others, but is still quite turnkey.
So, the next time you will go outside to buy a perfume for yourself, buy a unisex perfume and I am quite sure that you won't regret your decision.

Head over to the City Hall and book a taxi cab for a two-hour city tour.

Generic brands are rarely as cheap as brand names when you buy brand named items on sale & with coupons.

Steven said that performance was "so over the top it defies judging. GO with finger foods such as finger sandwiches, pizza bagel bites, cheese platters, meat platters, and anything else that people can just pick up. Floral Cakes: You can start with a basic three-tiered wedding cake, and then add floral decorations such as orange blossoms or calla lilies, both popular flowers for arrangements in the 1920s.

Some of the most popular shoes are inspired by the 1920's "flapper era" when Mary Janes were in vogue. I think she had it out for me from the moment she first saw me, the year my just-built grammar school first opened. Anne Keipper said Thursday that she was surprised to learn of the lawsuit because she had heard nothing about the matter since the day it occurred, Feb.

Your business is ѕhort οn cash flow and it's frustrating, to say the least. The truck had eventually pulled in and we began off-loading fish and hauling them down to the run in white, five-gallon buckets. I noticed for some reason it seem to happen more with the new representatives including myself when I first started.

Yοu will be much mοre prosperous

I'd been meaning to get a new pair of pants hemmed (I have short legs and can never find pants that fit right), I took them to one of the four dry cleaners that do alterations within a two- block radius of my Greenwich Village (where I lived at the time) apartment. You could very well take on cigarette slacks, better considered as slim or pencil pants in several regions all over the world.
