Going great. He's doing fine, I'm doing fine.

Heartbeat was about 140 (no miniultrasound today, though) and my AFP tests all came out negative, so we're great on that. My ever-changing due date is now on the 26th of May, so I'm going to start with doula-supervised natural induction methods around the 20th. No chemical induction, though - no *way*.

Have any of you who've gone through the birth experience used doulas? If so, how did that work for you?

I haven't put on any pounds this month, which worries me a little although the doctor said not to fret about it. I can't help it, I just am. Hopefully I'll put on a pound or 2 in the next month and can calm down then.

I've also been cleared for travel - we're off to LA on thursday through monday - and hopefully I'll be able to sneak to the Golden Globes... for some hobbit-stalking.

Wish me luck!

Yay! I may have offered before, but I will again - my mom has been in the baby business for over 30 years, has a master's degree in nursing and currently runs the Mother/Baby unit at one of the largest hospitals in Chicago. She's delivered more babies than most OBs. So, any questions, you know my email. I ask her things for friends all the time. :)
