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!

I don't know anyone personally who has used a doula, but ... you know that TLC show "A Baby Story"? I used to watch that, and several women went the doula route. They *loved* them. Said the special support made a world of difference.

Glad to hear all is going well! If you make it to the GG awards, take pictures. *g*

Ahh yes, "A Baby Story". Such a cute show.

Am very glad to hear Jumper is doing well. Yay for healthy offspring!

*Sulks and wishes she could go to Golden Globes* How about kidnapping a certain Elf who's name begins with O and has the letters "r-l-a-n-d-o" following it for me?

Heh. I wonder what would happen if you brought a sign to hold over your head that reads "Heidi Tandy--beta reader for Cassandra Claire". How many people do you suppose would come running?
