My husband is also fascinated that I am part Cherokee Indian-which, as I tell him, isn't a big deal.

After about 12 hours of intermittent contractions (not even counted as labour by the medical authorities) in preparation for the birth of my second child, I'd been awake for 24 hours and was beginning to get a little bored. I was giving birth at home. 'What do you have on the dvd player that we haven't seen?' I asked. Husband: 'Dunno,' (we were obviously well prepared) 'I think we have a Western.'. Like le tigre, I've never been able to understand Westerns; their male-brain narratives just glide off the surface of my mind without penetrating. I can never make sense of the plot. This particular Western was so boring that neither of us can even remember the title. It was in black and white. There was someone, maybe John Wayne, sitting around a campfire; then some fighting; then some shots of the high sierra. Eventually we came to the conclusion that Westerns are a bit like labour: long periods of inaction interspersed with short, violent skirmishes. Most of it's very dull and no-one's really quite sure what's going on...Badaudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992931113750971552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105245460932184204.post-40384638360881437622008-04-11T13:42:00.000+00:002008-04-11T13:42:00.000+00:00Yes the chocolate.

I don't know if its a sign of a girl..I know my boyfriend wants little girls (he had a dreal of brushing little girls' hair the other night! so cute)<BR/><BR/>It has surprised me how many people want twins, I never even thought about it in my life before now. Its always been something that happens to someone else, you know? (but then, i had that impression about pregnancy in general before!)<BR/><BR/>I'm not having a great time lately, not getting on well with my doctor, her bedside manner is nonexistent.

Yes, care pack...Thanks for your comment, Marianne. Yes, care packages are ALWAYS welcome, trust me -- but mine are usually pretty few and far between, so I try to treasure them when they show up!<BR/><BR/>R, I know what you mean -- the macho element of Westerns has always sort of bothered me too, and trust me, I still don't consider myself a fan or anything! But there are a few out there that I do appreciate, especially classics with Gary Cooper. I'll have to ask my boy about Stage Coach -- it sounds familiar, but I don't know if I've seen it yet or not...<BR/><BR/>And like I said, the baby's sex was sort of an issue -- I've always wanted this to be a surprise, but he wanted to know, so we came to a compromise... It's kind of cute seeing how proud he is to have this big secret!<BR/><BR/>Leah, I keep promising I'm going to blog more often, but somehow it just never happens. We'll see if one of these days I manage to become more "regular", ha ha!<BR/><BR/>Joy Suzanne -- yes, I definitely got your e-mail, and I owe you a response! But I want to be able to take my time with it and not feel distracted like I sometimes am during the day at work (no excuse really, but somehow I have a hard time writing extensive e-mails from here...) Thank you so much for sending me such a thoughtful message and for taking the time to write that out. And I promise, a note will soon be on the way! I also owe Aralena an e-mail, among others, so I've got some catching up to do...<BR/><BR/>Hello again Anne! I just had a moment to check out your blog today, and I love the spirit and vibe you have there. Looking forward to reading more!<BR/><BR/>Screamish -- I hear you again on the sleeping, but honestly, aside from the super-early wake-up calls so far (around 6 or so) I haven't had any major insomnia, and I'm really hoping that doesn't happen -- I'm so attached to my sleep! I don't know what I would do if I started the insomnia thing in the next few months... But I know I should be prepared for it, because they say that closer to the end it becomes harder and harder to sleep, as it's so tough to get comfortable! Plus we'll be heading into the summer months, when (normally...) it will be hotter. Here's crossing fingers that we'll be able to find some good sleeping patterns! I think we're going to need them...The Late Bloomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337578942279132688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105245460932184204.post-46007047558863287262008-04-11T12:59:00.000+00:002008-04-11T12:59:00.000+00:00the belly book..you're right, who could resist?You...the belly book..you're right, who could resist?<BR/><BR/>Your comments are pretty interesting...I'm expecting, too...curious, tracking down other people's experiences.<BR/><BR/>The sleeping marathons are pretty full on arent they?

Your care package looks like fun...some food, music and literature, what a good mix! My package is long-gone by this point, but it sure was yummy!! It's nice to read about how things are going even if the posts are spread out. Don't worry about that, though, soak up all the you-time you can and sleep as much as you want, I say!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698816373406087611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6105245460932184204.post-45528371787462466512008-04-09T18:30:00.000+00:002008-04-09T18:30:00.000+00:00One thing that always turned me off Westerns was t...One thing that always turned me off Westerns was the male centered narratives..but two which do the opposite in fact, I would recommend is Johnny Guitar (main character being the very fierce and amazing Joan Crawford) and Stage Coach by John Ford (very interesting characters, in particular a prostitute whose been ostracised from the community). <BR/><BR/>I can't believe your six months along already! That is unbelieveable. You know by the time we actually meet you will have had the baby! <BR/> <BR/>I'm glad you're feeling better and that's wonderful to hear that the pregnancy is bringing you and your partner closer together. I can't even imagine what being pregnant would be like, but I can imagine it is quite a trip! <BR/><BR/>So so so! The sex? And names? Any ideas?
