It definitely got the labor going! My midwife was the one who suggested it to me also. Good Luck!emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07260107375644089971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15902366.post-41972502807147419002008-08-07T13:14:00.000-04:002008-08-07T13:14:00.000-04:00I lived near the town of Eighty-Eight, KY (8.8 mil...I lived near the town of Eighty-Eight, KY (8.8 miles to be exact) on 8/8/88. They threw a big party to celebrate, um, I guess the symmetry of the dates. GMA came and did a story for the show.<BR/><BR/>I hope your girl is born tomorrow. 080808 would be a great birthdate.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Eight,_KentuckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15902366.post-85065957920008357172008-08-07T08:44:00.000-04:002008-08-07T08:44:00.000-04:00Ha.

Ugh. NOTHING appeals to me about that and I was TOTALLY against it until my midwife mentioned it yesterday. She said most people get sick off of it because they just do it on their own.<BR/><BR/>Ha. Just pouring it on pizza or in root beer. Apparently for me the comfort level came in the form of the recipe for a spiked screwdriver. Living with Sam has affected me in crazy ways ... :)<BR/><BR/>And no worries, after she's here perhaps I can entertain you for a while with photos. Then, well, YOU will have to keep us on edge with the waiting!~mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011403865947363112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15902366.post-64018285292431619452008-08-07T08:38:00.000-04:002008-08-07T08:38:00.000-04:00Acupuncture is really normal here in Germany.

Anyway, most women have acupuncture done here about 4 weeks or so before the baby’s born because it’s supposed to make labor shorter. And that whole mixing castor-oil-with-stuff thing is also a “normal” thing here in Germany. But then again, what’s normal? Lot’s of German women don’t shave their armpits, and that is not, in my book, normal. <BR/>I’m sure your baby will be on her way soon enough. And then the real question is: What are the rest of us going to do without something to wait for? :-)Brandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644267534427294463noreply@blogger.com
